Luxury Vinyl Flooring for Kitchen?

[cib77]

We are currently having our open plan kitchen/diner renovated from floor up and just put in an order for our kitchen (which will be delivered in early October).

Colour's of are new kitchen is as follows -

Base Units - Matt Greige
Tall Units - Matt Slightly Greyish White

Worktop (not yet decided) - likely will be white with marble effect

Walls - will be off white (not yet decided)

We are struggling with two elements of the kitchen now -

1. New Ceiling lighting layout
2. The flooring we should go for that will tie in and contrast the colour of our worktop.

We have decided on Luxury Vinyl as its easy to install, hard wearing, warm, can be used with wet under floor heating, not as hard as tiles (we have 3 young children) and lastly can be removed/changed around the kitchen easily.

We have just been to a showroom and saw the following sample which we think would work well with the colours of our kitchen -

Our kitchen designer has provided us a 3D plan of our kitchen and I have managed to take some stills, which is what we are using to help us decide on the flooring -

Our construction company who has carried out the renovation will be installing the flooring and therefore we are unable to wait until the kitchen arrives to choose the flooring.

What colours would you think would be good for our flooring while tying in with the other colours we have within the kitchen?

Any suggestions and tips would be greatly appreciated!

Many Thanks

Right - I would go for a contrast rather than the Karndean grey you provided a link too. I think you need a contrast to the pale grey or the overall effect will be wishy washy. Either a mid to dark wood effect or a darker slate grey.

I have Amtico traditional oak in the kitchen with gloss cream units and a bamboo worktop. Love it and think real wood colours always classic.

Thanks you for your responses.

No doubt a wood effect would work however not sure if it would look good as the rest of the house is in rustic engineer wood and the hallway to the kitchen is in the same.

The door to the kitchen would be left open quite a bit, so you would see when the change of wood/colour/pattern all take place....

Oh well that would look weird if you have Kahrs elsewhere - what about terracotta tile effect?

I've never thought different flooring from room to room is an issue.

We've just had our kitchen (and bathrooms) done by a company called Panelven who came out best for us in terms of modern design and top-notch quality. Through their design advice we went for high gloss 'Champagne' coloured laquer units, marble effect quartz worktops and Amtico Form in limed wood. The walls were painted in Dulux Dusted Moss (equivalent to F&B Cornforth White). We love the contrast of glossy modern, marble and wood. Added our Chinese cabinet for some warmth.
