Kitchen diner/living space floor

[Babybrain26]

Hi. Were in the middle of doing an extension but are trying to pick a floor for our new kitchen diner/living area. The living area used to have oak laminate which went very well with the oak doors and fireplace (which are being retained). The floor however will most need to be replaced in this section as it is a different level to the rest of the room and there are radiator pipes that need to be removed. Its tricky to find a floor that will work with the oak features and our new kitchen which will be cashmere doors and marble look worktop. We were considering the following floors (which are wood effect tiles- covered by the tender). Any opinions on a favourite or other type of tile/flooring? I asked about the herringbone and was advised it would take around 1 week to lay.

Heres a picture of the kitchen colour scheme and how the living area used to be with the oak laminate before the wall was removed

I love the look of that first tile you posted... Where's it from / what is it?

I'm having exact same dilemma at the moment. I really like the first tile you've pictured

Thanks guys, I think that ones my favourite too, as it has different tones in it which might work with both. It's the cerlat burdeos L50 tile. www.cerlat.com/en/products/serie/BURDEOS/

1 is favourite then 3.

Thanks, I know what you mean about a contrast, I think I’m just worried that it’ll be too different from the rest of the house (the doors and oak etc) but I’m not very brave when it comes to picking colours etc. I did consider more traditional ceramic/porcelain kitchen tiles but was afraid they would look cold in the living area. I’m not very good at this!
