hace 8 añosModus is right. The flooring is key. You need to consider your lifestyle - children, pets? Does the floor need to be regularly mopped? Do you want the on going maintenance that a wooden floor entails? How much daylight is there? Budget? Only then consider the counter top - there are other alternatives to granite but it is considered one of the best for stones for worktops. Watch how you treat the oak - you don't want it to end up yellowing over time so make sure the installer treats it with a hardwax oil like Osmo or Treatex. I have attached a picture of a kitchen that uses both a dark floor, dark worktop and dark painted cabinets so it can be done - it's a very strong look, and would certainly be different to your old kitchen BUT note there is a lot of daylight and the walls are white.

hace 8 añosThank you all for your comments. I've attached a couple of photos from OnePlan's design which was done a few months ago. Since then we've decided to place the ovens in the middle section of the full height cabinets and change the finish to oak. Also changed to oak is the appliance cupboard (the sliding doors which have also now changed to pocket doors). There's also a small study leading off the kitchen which will be IKEA oak furniture with a plain, pale green carpet (recycled from our dining room).
We have been very pleased with the Amtico flooring in our current kitchen and will go for Amtico or Karndean in the new kitchen. We like the warmth underfoot and it has always been easy to clean and is dog-friendly. Ease of maintenance is essential as we're both retired. But I'm not keen on fake wood in a room with so much real wood so it'll probably be a stone effect.
We'd like a glass splashback (again colour to be decided). A mid-tone granite worktop might be ok but I had fallen in love with Ivory White from Ivett & Reed whereas my partner loves a very dark black textured granite. The colour of the other units will be rather dependent on our floor/worktop choice I'd imagine. But not bright white.
I'd quite like a fresh, lively look to the kitchen/breakfast. The remainder of the house is mainly F&B golds/stone colours which tie in with the brass door furniture in those rooms. But the kitchen and utility is staying with chrome fittings. We have a separate dining room which needs new curtains and carpets too which I'd like to be more sophisticated as it has dark Victorian-style furniture.
Thanks for the tip about yellowing of oak. I'll check with the kitchen installers.

hace 8 añosYour two toned kitchen is really lovely, has a contemporary feel without being too stark.
If you don't like the white I would go for a warm grey colour and then a lighter work surface which tones in to the rest of the colours in the room.
I would try to have no more than 4 main colours in a room, floor, cabinets, walls and worktop, everthing else should be accent colours.
I've attached some photos to demonstrate this. A lot of the time the floor and work surface are similar in colour and therefore if adding a coloured backsplash this would suit no problem.
Hope this helps!
