Tile

Comment
Beth H. :

a black slate looks beautiful next to oak, and would work w/white cabinets. Or, why don't you just do the entry way in a tile. like the black or some of these other choices, and then do the rest of the area in a similar engineered oak? Or do you want tile throughout? do not get a wood look tile because unless you spend some money on the very nice quality, it's going to look fake next to your real oak. another option is large format porcelain tiles. These are a 30x30 (Arkim, persian black. tilebar.com) they also have more of cement look. (when matching grays w/your honey oak, it has to be the right gray. usually a warmer tone. cool blue/grays won't work) Basic cement silver porcelain , also tilebar. top lift is Linden in a soft white, Tilebar,,, next to that is basalt tiles. then a slate in a herringbone, and bottom is also porcelain, tilebar, call Cavatina Bronze. It's a warm, larger tile that would look nice w/all your wood tones. d take a look over here. you get 5 samples for $5. https://tilebar.com/browse-by-project/floor-tile.html or think about painting your railing white and then just do the same type of oak flooring throughout. (painting it white would break up all those golden tones)

Cheryl, that tile your'e holding is a vein cut travertine. natural stone. you have to seal it and use a special stone cleaner on it. You want a porcelain tile. Plus, those striped patterns may not be the best for the kitchen if you're going with a busier countertop If you want a tile that looks like limestone (travertine), then get it in porcelain. (it's a little bit more, but a lot less care when cleaning) and it won't stain. https://tilebar.com/basic-limestone-grigio-12x24-matte-porcelain-tile.html also comes in this size in the Ash color. I like this format home depot is the middle man, so of course you'll be paying for that. do you have a local stone yard/tile place you could visit? they have many, many more options, slabs, countertops, tiles, etc. You'll save money going that route. I posted quite a few 24x24 tiles. you'll get less grout lines and the look will be more modern. I've never liked that 12x24 size. I love all of these. this one is a lighter, warmer gray tone that would match cabs. Touchstone Misty Gray, Tilebar. (they do have it in a 12x24 if you'd rather have that size) https://tilebar.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=touchstone%20misty%20gray Cavatina Corda This dove color would actually be a great match w/your cabs. I'd at least get a sample of this, the 3 above, and one other one https://tilebar.com/estia-dove-12x24-porcelain-tile.html https://tilebar.com/marbella-perla-24x24-porcelain-tile.html
