Would anyone be kind enough to vote on which of my shortlist for the new kitchen floor I should get?

Here are the three choices. Pictures of the unfinished kitchen are on my profile. High gloss white cupboards, walnut worktop, I think we are going for a kiwi green wall tile as a splashback. Need to decide soon as just want it finished...and the fitter is waiting in the wings.

classic pale stone

This is fairly mottled so good for disguising crumbs? also quite light coloured.

limestone cool

This one is very nice but very plain and pale, worried about the dirt showing...

sienna slate

This one is a good brown to go with the worktops, mid coloured and nicely mottled and textured so maybe would hide the crumbs a bit?

Arghh the is too difficult... I am wrestling with appearance v practialities

Any advice and opinions welcome.

Yes Kristina I colour matched the tile colour with the dulux paint colour cards. (Dulux 'soft moss') The green is a 'warm' colour apparently so thought a warm colour on the floor would be good too.

So wall and floor tiles all ordered so hopefully by the end of Sept the kitchen will be finished

yes that makes perfect sense

once i saw your wall paint colour i realised that you prefer warm colours and i prefer cool

i was recommedning cool grey/blues which are all wrong for you

although we agree on units and worktops i think , yours are fab

Thanks I love my worktop, stokes it lovingly. Bought it online if you want the website, can recommend!

I usually go either 'calm' or 'warm' with colours.

My kitchen units are white with wood work tops and very very very stupidly have white floor tiles, which dh and I chose. Never ever again. It needs mopped every day sometimes more, although it does look lovely when everything is clean!

Thanks fimbo for reminding me why I didn't go for the limestone ones. I actually got DS to stand on it with his shoes after a trip to the garden (no rain). Enough said.
