Hey so we have beige ivory/grey vein tiles in kitchen
not sure which colour door goes best with these tiles.
Left is Ivory (warm cream colour) Right is Porcelain (greige) hoping to have Apollo acrylic white Carrara for worktop
which I think works with both and the floor. See 2nd photo.

Thanks all, appreciate the feedback!
im not totally sold on the worktop it was one that didn’t look as dated as the rest that we had to choose from, hate mirror chip and ones with grainy look etc. we may have to look at another company for this.

Ivory, but a white worktop won’t work. It’s too many tones of white/cream.

To be brutal, your floor tiles are dated and very practical looking. They aren’t pretty. I don’t think you’re going to get a wow kitchen if you keep them.

I agree with the left doors and would really look at the cost of replacing the floor. I have a laminate oak worktop with those same colour doors but have large grey floor tiles. The cost of a composite worktop vs laminate is enough to release some funds for new tiles on the floor!

If budget constrained, could you do the oak worktop and those tiles with ivory (bit boring) or light sage (adds more interest and fits with oak top). Or, you could change tiles to the less warm colour with a white worktop?

if I could tell you how big the area is with these tiles I would, it’s huge, kitchen, massive l shaped dining room, a hall, boot room, downstairs laundry and loo, they run the whole way. It’d be way more than £6000 and my husband just can’t justify that when to him they are sound but I agree with everyone who says they are dated etc I’m not happy either 🙃 he wants the kitchen in and done and forgotten about whereas I see the bigger picture and want something timeless and a classic cohesive look. The floor lets it all down.

I do understand how you feel - had recently gone through a renovation and ripped out much hated flooring almost everywhere in the house. No matter how beautiful the furniture above was, the floor brought everything down, and I was just trying to cover it up with rugs everywhere. My advise is if you dislike them, save money, think long run, and change them. If your dream is cool colours then buying warm colours to fit tiles you hate, this will cement their existence further, and you will end up hating it all together. It is false economy.
Does it have to be tiles everywhere? Maybe some parts you can do laminate, or carpet to save money from some parts? You can think about putting tiles over existing tiles too to save money (will need to add a flexible underlay still, like ditramat).As long as heights match, then you are ok, will just need to trim doors a bit, and add threshold trims which are really cheap.

This is the ceramic colour with aspen ice quartz
This colour is in between the cream and the porcelain.
what I may do is change the grout to a lighter creamier lighter colour.

I would LOVE to change the floor tiles, but I mentioned it again and husband is very much against changing them as they are not dated to him at all and won’t ever date! The only thing I can change is the grout colour
