I am drawn to the one on the right. It is difficult to advise from such a small sample and without the context of the whole space. I like the movement and figure in the grain which is more interesting to the eye.

I like the grey best for reasons stated above. The 'busy' look may also be a huge benefit in that it won't highlight every speck of lint or footprint etc. as much as a more solid coloured tile.

Hi Sheila What a great space! We see something a little more architectural for your kitchen.. given that you are having that amazing timber ceiling.. You could honestly have either tiles or timber.. but for a good compromise between the two, dont discount vinyl plank! It is virtually indestructible, water proof, great underfoot, and looks just like the real thing! Maybe steer away from the mirror under the breakfast bar.. not totally practical, and would drive you mad cleaning it! But you could use mirror as a splashback.. Heres a pic of what we see when we visualize your space.. Our Bodo suggested board for you is the Lavish Board, similar ply woods, a little hint of black, and truly unique..After all, you dont want to create a generic kitchen that you see in every second house! https://www.bodoboards.com.au/collections/kitchen/products/lavish-kitchen Our concept boards provide a shopping list of everything you will need to bring the look together, including options of both timber and tiled flooring :) paint scheme, and differing budget options We would love to see your project in completion.. so be sure to send a pic! Good luck from the team at Bodo :)

Hi Georgie Laminates are pretty ordinary... Essentially they are an mdf (medium density fibre board) with a print over the top and a wear coating over that. The focus of the advertising for these products is that the wear layer has so many years etc etc.... What they don't say is that MDF does not like water so every time you mop it the water gets into the joins and it swells right at the edges of each and every board..... just like the joins on those old orange/green benchtops from years ago... that is why 'hybrids' have been developed which instead of mdf use a blend of limestone and vinyl... to get a water proof finish... we don't have feedback on these yet to comment. personally, of the 3 you are looking at I would choose a good quality vinyl plank eg Karndean.. it's tough and will take a beating... I would recommend you do your research by going to a couple of different flooring outlets, hearing all the opinions/stories and then go with what you feel comfy long term and not what is on 'special'... Cheers
