We have decided that we are going to stay put in this house.
So kitchen needs big overhaul and I'm finding it all very daunting.
The boiler is being moved in february to the utility and having bigger kitchen window to allow more light. Unless I can convince DH to knock through into dining room where there are french doors and thus more light.
But first we have to consider what I consider to be huge problem the floor!
At present it is large cream ceramic tiles on a concrete floor that are the problem. They have been chipped over the years. We can't lay more over the top as they butt up at the same depth( or height not sure which) as flooring other rooms
So any suggestions would be much appreciated regarding floors or kitchens in general.

A coincidence, I have had a plumber round today for a price on a downstairs toilet under the stairs. I have been on e bay and amazon looking for tiles and flooring. I found glittery vinyl, which looks really snazzy and will be good for a small space and perk it up a bit. More glitter the better in my opinion! grin

Amtico in my house. Hall and porch look like oak floor boards, kitchen and bathrooms look like marble tiles. So easy to keep clean.

Ceramic dark slate tiles in my kitchen and utility room, and I love them. They're easy to keep clean and look good. We also have cream ones in the hallway, again because they're practical and look smart.

Wood flooring and tile are popular choices for the kitchen, which may be affected by liquids hitting the floor during cooking. Using ceramic tile in the kitchen, adds weight and thickness to the floor, which can cause clearance issues with the refrigerator or stove areas. You can research for more options through this page to know more about flooring style.

We have both Amtico and Karndean in various places. KArndean wonderful and we love it. a tick has scratched in one or two places over the years but still looks good in most areas. Both get heavy traffic ++++
