Just my opinion...

The tiles seem to me like they clash with the adjacent white wall to the left, although when looked at the kitchen separately, looks very elegant. How do you feel about a divider between the tiles and the wall which might help distinguish the two rooms more definitively?

The goal of the homeowner in this space was to open the kitchen to the dining space or not to distinguish the spaces with a division. There was actually a cabinet dividing the space that they requested be removed. It feels open and bright and has a beautiful view of the ocean now from the kitchen. The tile is a great blend of their favorite colors. Thanks for your question. Charmean Neithart

Is the flooring porcelain tile? I've attached a pic of my flooring which is porcelain tile that looks like wood.

Yes, it is. It's gorgeous and great for sandy feet at the beach.

I live in Florida and besides sand, I don't have to worry about wet bathing suits or towels. My concern is if anything heavy is dropped on the tile and maybe cracking it

It's possible, it is porcelain. The particular material I used at this beach house is very hardy, but it 's going to crack if you drop something heavy enough on it.

Can you please tell me who makes the tile flooring and the color? Love it!
