Porcelain tiles

In the matte / natural finish:

They sent a load of free samples that I had on the floor for days. I was looking for a mid-grey which looks natural and is on the light side during the night, and on the dark side during the day, which doesn't reflect the ceiling lighting too much, and looks good with all of the dark wood bits.

The idea is that the floor is neutral, that future changes in colours of the cabinets or walls are not affected by the floor colour at all.

The tiles I've opted for are 60cm squares, and will be laid out as a grid with the grout pattern centred to give an even distance to the bottom of the units on all sides. The tiling will be wall-to-wall under the cabinets and appliances, and we're setting the radiator into the wall so that there's no drilling of tiles needed. All pipework is being set behind skirting boards, etc.

The real money has gone into the worktop though... the floor is along the lines of "posh flagstone" but the worktop is the feature.

I've yet to choose the slab of granite for the worktop. The quarry have a whole load they're photographing for me.
