DESIGNWALI: If you HAD to pick...

If you HAD to pick...

Thursday, July 12, 2012

On of things on my dream house list is to invest in quality kitchen floors (currently I have rough textured beige blah tiles). Floors can make such a statement. Here are a few I spotted that were making a statement in their own right. So if you HAD to pick, which one would it be?

Black and white Hexagon love? Traditional Kitchen design by Los Angeles Architect Tim Barber LTD Architecture & Interior Design featured on Houzz.com

Or go with au natural wood floors? Contemporary Kitchen design by Kitchen And Bath Glenvale Kitchens featured on Houzz.com

Keira said... [Reply to comment]: I love traditional hexagonal tiles (and this pattern is really nice with the wide bands) but I have to go with #2 since this is pretty much what we are aiming for in our new kitchen ourselves. I prefer a more minimalist style.; July 12, 2012 at 6:29 AM
Gaby [The Vault Files] said... [Reply to comment]: Both are stunning, but I think I would go with the first one, is more industrial, which I love ;); July 12, 2012 at 6:49 AM

Amberly said... [Reply to comment]: As much as I love the tile ... it's exactly what I have in my bathroom right now (original to the 1920s building) so... I have to go with the hardwood floors. Probably not that color though, I'd want some a little more rustic, or even whitewashed!; July 13, 2012 at 1:23 AM
Veronica @ Design Style said... [Reply to comment]: I would definitely go with the hardwood floors, they are gorgeous.; July 13, 2012 at 1:44 PM

Milynn luong said... [Reply to comment]: Maybe I'm being biased because I LOOOOOOOOVE how kitchen #1 looks, I have to choose that one! Although I really do love hardwood floors too. :)
