Right I really really need help- we are putting in a new galley kitchen- going to have howdens white units down both long sides of the room.
Space has a ginormous window so is quite light and builder reccomends dark worktops as makes space look bigger so we are thinking a black granite effect composite (or if feeling cheap a mdf laminate!- its not our forever house so we are not too bothered just want something that will last for future tenants (we will rent out house in furture possibly).
But then I also wanted slate effect lino- and am pondering if this is too much black? (remember units and probably back splash tiles will be white). I just can't visualise it.
Or we have beech block effect laminate (had it in our old kitchen and I rather liked it)- but again flooring issue-
also more questions about flooring-
I want something like this:

given the space is narrow it is going to look daft? would you lay the laminate so blocks are horizontal or vertical as you look down galley corridoor?
Also galley kitchen runs into lobby area and bathroom beyond- so I was thinking keeping the flooring same throughout that space to make it feel bigger- is this misguided?
