Hello Jennifer! Is this flooring for your homes kitchen area specifically or the entire house? Could you please share some photos and also, if possible, photos of your cabinet choice and the color you intend on painting your walls? That would help me greatly with respect to my recommendation on the best flooring style for you. Thanks!

I am replacing all of the floors with the exception of the slate entry. Thinking about wall to wall carpet for the 2 bedrooms, area rugs for the living room and sitting room. LVT everywhere else - one pattern/color throughout.

Since the LVT flooring spans most of the home I wanted to select that first.

The only things I own that are not changing are the slate entry, the brick fireplace wall , two pieces of upholstered furniture in the master sitting room - a deep red recliner and a chaise upholstered in a bold geometric pattern and my wood furniture - all of my wood furniture is teak.

I am having the couch I own re-upholstered, replacing the kitchen cabinets and counter, replacing the bathroom vanities and counters. Replacing the tub/toilet in the one bathroom with white - the second has white tub/toilet. Painting the entire home.

I have attached a drawing of the floor plan.

I would love to have this type of look with reds and smoky purples instead of orange and blue.

I can picture this flooring with white cabinets and a bright backsplash

Thank you for sharing Jennifer! Are you set on more of a tile look or would you be open to a luxury vinyl wood floor similar to this we did in a kitchen we designed?

Actually you hit on one of my struggles. I love the look of tile, but will a transition to tile look odd next to the slate floor? Will the transition from the slate to white be too stark or will it work because the grout in the slate is white?

I am not a fan of the flooring in the pictures above - I like things to look new, not worn or weathered.

Original MCM slate is a treasure that should be featured. Not destroyed.

Sophie - completely agree! I fell in love with the slate the moment I walked into this house.
Slate must stay, but what will work with the slate and the brick and my MCM Teak furniture?
The carpet in the living room is thread bare (literally can see the subfloor at the doorways) and the master bath and kitchen have sheet vinyl. Removed the carpet that was in the guest bath (smelled like urine), so I currently just have sub floor in that room. The other carpets are all stained and worn and although they are all beige, they were not bought and installed at the same time, so I have several varieties of similar carpet.

Currently the dining room and living room are carpeted.

If I was not considering my lifestyle at all I would consider a deep red carpet in the living room that matches the red in the slate and replacing the rest of the floors with some type of white LVT.

However, my dog and I am forever running in and out of my house. I love spending time outdoors, gardening, playing ball with my dog, cooking on the grill, enjoying the sunshine and the huge sliding glass doors are the main doors I use to access the back yard. Have the feeling the carpet would not last. Thought about doing some sort of entry at the sliders, but with the slate at the entry and carpet and something else at the entry and a transition at the dining room seemed like a hot mess.

Since tile hurts my feet and legs and wood isn't great with dogs I am leaning toward LVT. I keep looking for something that is plain and simple without a bunch of pattern or variation so it won't fight or take away from the slate, but it seems like everything I find is busy.

I would love to hear what you envision that would celebrate the slate floor.

PS - I am also removing the gold metallic wallpaper.
