Here’s a wider angle on it

It’s very popular right now and I had considered something similar. My husband brought up that it may feel dated sooner than later or we would tire of it. It really depends on how long you will be staying in your home. Same issues wherever you use, but in smaller areas it would be easier to replace.

Love the look but prefer hardwood in the kitchen. Would definitely use this in a powder, mud or laundry room.

I would pair it with either white or dark blue cabinets.. please share your thoughts and experiences!

I don't know how helpful a poll is in this circumstance. What's more helpful is planning every element of your kitchen now if you want the floor to be a star like that. I'd post your kitchen plans -- layout, plus thoughts on style/color of cabinet, backsplash, countertop, wall color etc. -- to the Kitchen forum and get advice there so that you have a layout and design plan locked in before proceeding.

Also, what does the rest of the house and main floor look like? Is the kitchen open to another room? Is this a remodel or a new build?

I think if it's thoughtfully done and fits the kitchen and the rest of the house, the floor tiles will enhance the kitchen and house. If it's just slapped in there as the latest kitchen trend, it will likely give potential buyers pause.

Very insightful comments- thank you! I will update with my layout and plans, along with additional details. 👍🏼

When people walk into your kitchen, what do you want them to look at? If it’s the floor, go for it. You are correct, choosing this lovely tile means everything else is quiet and in these colors.

OR, you could use this (or something similar) as a backsplash tile, and go for a quieter floor.

Its a remodel project in a 1924 home. The exterior is a Tudor style, although the previous owners didn’t maintain the style throughout the interior. It is a galley kitchen with a dining space that ends in the back of the kitchen (leading to the backyard).

The cabinets will be shaker, paint possibly hale navy or evening dove by BM.

It's your house, but I wouldn't do it. It's trendy and already on the way out where I live. I see it on almost every HGTV flip house.

All this helps a lot, thank you. I think the age and style of the house lend itself to the floor tile. Plus as a galley kitchen, this is a smaller space.

And your choices -- simple Shaker style and esp the darker blue -- would definitely help to moderate the tiles.

What are you considering for countertop, backsplash, and light fixtures?

I would recommend a blue/black slate floor for your space, possibly in a 12 x 24” format tile. Classic and appropriate for a 1929 Tudor.

Here's the tile in my kitchen:

I think your tile would look better in my kitchen than my tile. Black and white is very neutral, and so it would be easy to add color to your kitchen with that tile. My tile is a color that I do not like, and I would have preferred a black slate floor. I don't like my cabinets either, but I dislike paint even more, and so I am living with them.

I love it! That being said when I make design choices in my house I’m not really thinking about resale because I’ll be here for awhile and I know someone will renovate when I’m done anyway. However, when I’m flipping a house I tend to make more neutral design choices to appeal to a wider market.

Now that I know the age and style of your home, I think it would be a nice choice. It won’t feel trendy, but fitting and classic and I expect for eventual resale people will feel the same way.

I would pass. You know yourself, but me -- the novelty would wear off and I would tire of it very quickly, especially in a larger area like the kitchen. Maybe in a powder room or small laundry/mudroom but not the kitchen.

It fits age of your house so I don’t think it would affect resale. It would be dated soon in non historical houses.

They offer the patterns in floor stickers for you to try out

You could use the pattern on your backsplash

Paint: thinking of clean, white walls to balance the darker blue cabinets and brass hardware

Countertop: quartz in a light neutral/white

backsplash:Classic White subway (Possibly with darker grout)

light fixtures- canned lights spanning the length of the room, with 2 pendants (One over sink and another over eating bar/peninsula)and chandelier over Dining table. I love the old schoolhouse and deco style pendants!

Lighting ideas to complement the brass hardware:

Only thing I don't like is that particular tile seems to be very popular and it might appear dated soon. But patterned floor tile in a galley kitchen would look nice.

If you really love it, then do it! I posted a similar question recently, and am feeling really confident about going with a bolder floor ♡

I actually prefer a busier floor over a busy backsplash myself.

Jen, I like your choices, esp if you end up going with the Hale Navy or a similar blue for the cabinets. Good luck and keep us posted on your kitchen project!

I picked out this same tile pattern yesterday for our new build. I was hesitant because I thought I would tire of it fairly quickly. However, I think it will make the powder room special, and the same colors will be used throughout the house. Your kitchen ideas sound lovely to me!

Thanks everyone for your input - I truly appreciate it!

I'm feeling more confident moving forward.. I'm left contemplating two things (perhaps you guys have ideas!?):

1. I wanted a brass bridge faucet from Newport Brass for the kitchen but have read some terrible reviews. Any ideas for alternatives? ( I love the vintage feel of it)

2. Unsure about range hood: Wall mount chimney in SS to match Range, fridge and dishwasher, or do an insert hood built into a cabinet? Will be ducted either way. Any pros/cons between the two?

This group is amazing, btw!! :)

Why not separate the tile with the pretty design with a few solid white or off-white tiles? This way, you can have the tiles you love but not have them overpowering your kitchen.

If you love the tile, I say go for it, and keep the backsplash and other choices very simple. There can only be one star. Personally, I love this floor and have always loved blue and white for a kitchen. If you don't plan to move anytime soon, buy the things you love. It's your house!

Can't wait to see the finished pictures.

I really like that tile flooring, as long as the space is not too large. So......how large an area will you be covering, and is it a large open space, or broken up by islands or peninsulas?

I put that exact tile in my bathroom. I love it. I would put the same tile (maybe a different color) in my kitchen in a heartbeat. It makes me happy.

Keep in mind that replacing tile is expensive, especially for a large area. If someone liked your house for other reasons, this tile could be a deal killer when you put it up for sale.

Lately, there have been several beautifully done traditional kitchens posted with good quality cabinets, etc. and in many cases not that old. People posting them have indicated in several instances that they recently bought the home, but that they hate some part (or all) of their kitchen, or they want to update it.

Styles change, so what someone likes now will change in a few years, because of what the latest thing is.

So I guess it might depend on whether you have the money to change the tile if you get tired of it, or if the price of the house might preclude a potential buyer from replacing the tile, and therefore passing on buying the house.

yes, patterned floor; yes, white cabinets (not blue) and yes, your entire pallet and style would have to be clean lined and very edited. but that does not mean you cannot have color ... pop of color is best accomplished by small dose and by items such as throw pillows. as for resale? well.. it all depends where you live. aka ... what kind of people are you surrounded with?

Personal opinion: go for the patterned tile but not necessarily that one. If you want such a striking look, then make it unique and not something one can buy on Wayfair.

There are beautiful tiles out there, and they can be incorporated in many ways. I love that you’re willing to be bold, just make sure it’s a worthy tile.

Thanks everyone! FYI- The dining room is 13’x10’, the galley kitchen space is 16’x 6’ (once cabinets are in)

Would love to see photos when finished!

It’s next to impossible to “date proof” design choices. And that’s totally okay! Pick what you love NOW, and when the time comes to refurbish pick what you love THEN, too. (Personally I‘d have a really hard time living in a space devoid of bold colors and patterns.) 😑

1. I wanted a brass bridge faucet from Newport Brass for the kitchen but have read some terrible reviews. Any ideas for alternatives? ( I love the vintage feel of it)

I bought a NB faucet (haven’t installed it yet😬) because of their reputation for superior quality.

2. Unsure about range hood: Wall mount chimney in SS to match Range, fridge and dishwasher, or do an insert hood built into a cabinet? Will be ducted either way. Any pros/cons between the two?

How about a painted metal hood like this one that @Maureen posted:

@Sammy cool idea on the range hood. I’m considering Kingston Brass for my faucet now, as it’s less expensive and they do have some positive reviews. Both Newport and Kingston seem to have a mix of both + and -, so I guess you just cant always tell.

The NB faucet is so gorgeous though- I hope yours is trouble free!

If you can find a faucet that will work in Delta, Moen, or one of the Kohler lines, you're more apt to have a solid forever faucet. That said, I had a NB Chesterfield in a vintage powder room for many years. Install was easy, support was good, and it proved to be very reliable. I loved it. If budget permits, Waterstone has some great vintage looks and is American made.

Consider this tile for the wall or backsplash
