All depends on what style and look your trying to achieve. But from a maintenance and long term value perspective always go with tiles or wood. The polished concrete look is very much a trend at the moment and I reckon it will age the property once it goes out of style.

One thing I love about the graphite cabinet color I want to use is that it is a stain - not paint. The stain is on maple (can also do cherry) cabinets so you still pick up some flecks of the natural wood color in the stain - which I think would draw in the light stain hardwood floors! I'm looking at Marsh Kitchen Savannah 1 cabinets in graphite - made in NC!! I am attaching a picture. This pic is actually the cherry cabinet because the photo is actually much more like the maple, graphite-stained cabinet as it looks in person. The pic of the maple one looks kinda cheap - doesn't do it justice.

Have you heard of quartz carpet? It is a composite of quartz aggregate and resin, uv resistant no fade, soft underfoot, seamless indoors or outdoor use and can be installed over existing concrete floor, ply etc so evening a miss matched floor is easy. Mid century have some stunning leftovers like large elongated space, timber detailing and panelling and innovative material application for their time. When we restore them today often in respect to them we more often upgrade these innovAtions while still feeling at home. Remember cork floors, they felt great, insulated well and laid easily, but look outdated now, Quartz carpet has that same feel, but much sexier! evolution surfaces website can help. Their polished concrete veneer is also interesting. Good luck. ML Design

Thanks for your comments Tribbletrouble, yes we are in Queensland, where most new houses have floor tiles. Tiles are great here, in our house we get the winter sun on the tiles all morning, so that really warms the whole space incredibly, so we don't even have to use a heater at night. I just want to update the look with big tiles, as part of the reno, and like the concrete look.

Hi, Choice of flooring would have to depend on the style you are looking to achieve. If you're going for industrial all three would be suitable but depend of the rest of the design. For something like a Hampton's home I would go with wood.

Wood is probably the kindest under foot out of the 3 surfaces and feels the warmest.

So I guess the answer depends on the design you are going for.

Hope this helps, MKG
