Kitchen Tile Floor Opinions Please

2 months ago

We are remodeling our kitchen. The new Taj Mahal quartzite counters were installed last week. The cabinet doors are all being refaced and the boxes and all will be stained a light to medium brown. The appliances will be a combination of stainless steel and platinum glass stainless steel. We are now looking at a tile backsplash and a lapatto floor tile. We like the floor tiles we are showing in this picture, but we aren't sure it is a good idea. Do you think they will look nice with the countertop and the light to medium brown stained cabinets? Also wondering if we should just get a simple ivory or beige subway tile for the backsplash. I appreciate your opinions. Thank you.

TIle should have been in before the cabinets, now you need to sure that you do not block in the applianes and leave clearance all around honetsly. Figure the backsplash last after all else is done. Don't try and "match" the floor tile to the tops, will never match and always look like a miss.

We generally don't match flooring to countertops. That can make a kitchen appear rather flat and monotone. Will suggest a flooring that will provide some contrast and some depth.

We are looking for a 12x24" porcelain floor tile with a Lapatto (semi polished) finish. We havent seen too many yet.

I wouldn’t choose a floor tile so close to the counter especially since they both have movement (i also think the floor tile shown seems more like choice for a bathroom) i’d look at something much simpler, perhaps classic slate or a limestone look. I’d want something that recedes to let the countertop shine

maybe something like this? not sure with Taj but worth a look

I think you are limiting choices for floor beacuse of the finish. The one you show IMO looks like you tried to match the counter but missed. A nice plain 12 x24 porcelain tile is good but as for that particular finish I have no idea.I have no idea what was thre before but make sure the DW is still able to be installed in that spot after the tile is installed

Why tile in this room?

What flooring is in the rest of the house?

Are you using those white appliances with medium stained cabinets?
