What flooring is in abutting rooms?

You would want that flooring to be removed first. If you installed a floor over top of what is there, the level of the new layer would be a problem. Should an appliance need to be replaced, it could not be pulled out. Even just for cleaning behind the 'fridge would not be possible.

Then is the issue of another layer meeting a different floor.

Hopefully, some one here has a suggestion for you.

Meantime, consider a good grout washing and maybe some rugs. I don't mind the floors. I do think new hardware would make a big difference.

Thank you for replying! The adjacent rooms are dining room that has wooden flooring and the family room has white porcelain tiles. had white tiles,

If you choose tile look at epoxy grout for light colors.

Thank you for the tip!

Please show the kitchen from all four sides so we can see windows, doorways, adjacent rooms and flooring.

Based on your limited photos, I would change the counters and backsplash before the neutral floors, which harmonize well with the cabinets and wall color. The background color of this counter would harmonize well with your floors and greatly brighten the kitchen.

Add a kitchen rug if the floor bothers you.

What is the reason for the change? You already have tile that looks good in your kitchen.

You do know all the tile you have will need to be removed and of then they are under tha cabinets so thta can ope a big can of worms for sure > I too want to know the reason for changing those tiles for another tile . The back splash a much bigger issue for me, that needs to be lighter and maybe some under cabinet lighting too all of which will be less hassle than changing those floors

Reason for change - tiles are matte finish and always look dirty because of dust getting stuck in the grout and it’s too ahrd to clean it!

It would have been helpful to know your reasons when you posted. You can get the tile floor regrouted then have floor professionally cleaned for as long as you own the house for less money than tearing up the floor and replacing it.

For anyone following this thread, this is how to post a Design Dilemma.

Here is how to post a Design Dilemma to get the best results. (Post only one thread on same Dilemma. You can add photos to original thread.) You need to show the whole space—all four sides of an entire space—even if it’s about one specific Dilemma. Commenters need to see doorways, windows, closets, finishes throughout the space to make informed suggestions. In open spaces, Commentors need to see adjacent spaces like living, dining, family room areas that adjoin a kitchen. This is so finishes like cabinetry, paint, and flooring harmonize in the whole space.

State right at the beginning what the room will be used for and who will use it and the reason for wanting a change. State the non-negotiables at the beginning, what has to be kept. Give some idea of the budget. And provide approximate measurements

Keep in mind that you're inviting some design pros and people with a design eye into your home via photos. If they walked into your actual space, they would take in all of it: all four sides, doorways, floors, windows, ceiling, built-in fixtures, lighting, trim--the "givens"--then the features that can be changed--furnishings, paint, art, rugs, decor items, etc. It's all one first impression. Same thing with photos. That's why it's important to provide well lit photos of the entire space, taken from all sides of a room regardless of the size of your problem.
