Kitchen floor - narrowed down to 2 options

[MadameJosephine]

So I finally thought i had decided what to put on my kitchen floor and bought this plain slate effect vinyl.

But then a sample of a patterned flooring arrived that I ordered last week and now I can’t make my mind up

Which would you choose?

[MadameJosephine]

This is the kitchen

[missminimum]

I wou.d go for the patterned. We have the slate effect in our bathroom and it shows all the water marks

[Pantah630]

Love both, no help, sorry

[Battleax]

Second one. Beautiful.

[CanIBuffalo]

The patterned one but I've just bought a patterned one so I'm biased.

[bastardkitty]

Be bold and go for the patterned one!

[Lesley1980]

I like the patterned one.

[MadameJosephine]

Thanks everyone. I think I might order the second one and then see what they look like rolled out on the floor and then I can always try to return or sell the other one. It’s only a small kitchen so about £60 for each piece

[hmcAsWas]

Where did you get it from?

I like both but agree that its bolder and more interesting to go with the pattern

[ItsAllGoingToBeFine]

I prefer the slate now, but it won't look as nice as the patterned down the line. Patterned much better at hiding water marks etc

[WipsGlitter]

Plain. That patterned one is everywhere and will scream 2017i in a few years time.

[MadameJosephine]

hmcAsWas the slate one is from Franks Flooring and the patterned one from best4flooring.co.uk

[MadameJosephine]

Or maybe I’ll put the patterned one down and keep the slate one for when it goes out if fashion

[Starryskiesinthesky]

I agree that the patterned one is everywhere. I loved it at first but now that its everywhere i am less keen.

Just popping up to say I LOVE the patterned one! Need to check that out for myself It's beautiful !

The slate. the patterned one is in every single house that I have been to. It sort of looks weird with the oak worktops as well.

Patterned feature in the middle with plain tile around?

Personally I would go with something quite neutral for the floor and add “features” with things that don’t cost a fortune/massive upheaval to re-do.

[Cakecrumbsinmybra]

Sorry, I thought they were tiles. Definitely as plain as possible if vinyl!
