We're about to start a major bit of work on our kitchen/family room, by
knocking the two together, then building on a large sunroom. All
together
it will be an area of around 45m^2.

We're going for an Arosa gloss wood kitchen from Bauformat with 80mm
black
granite worktops, and reckoned that 30x60cm black porcelain floor tiles
would look stunning.

However, looking at pictures of similar kitchens (magazines, online etc)
we haven't seen one that doesn't use a light coloured floor, making us
think that the black floor would be too dark.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Does anyone have a black tiled floor
with a dark kitchen?

Any advice would be gratefully received!

Umgall.
Beware...
Friends of mine have glossy black ceramic tiles... wow, they seem to
highlight the tiniest of marks/grit/crumbs.
Also black worktop, but not noticed it to be a "dark kitchen" though.


Did my kitchen last year with black granite effect worktops and black
granite effect tiles (3 rows high). Black glass hob. Unit fronts are
off-white. Floor teracotta tile vinyl.
Really that's about a much black as I would want. Looks very good, but
no more!
Oh and the worktops show up crumbs and smears and the like really well,
while hiding things like gravy splodges!


Use matte granite..cheaper and less prone to showing up stuff.
