Hello everyone,
we are renovating a house built in 1986. The entire ground floor has yellow/beige Jura marble flooring, which will remain since the underfloor heating was installed as a floating system within it. However, we want to remove a wall to create an open plan living and kitchen area, so there will be a section of floor missing in the kitchen.
We now want to tile the kitchen (9m² (97 sq ft)). What kind of look would you choose? We are leaning towards gray tiles with a concrete appearance, but I’m unsure if that will match well. Also, the stairs going up are located opposite the kitchen and will need to be redone. Ideally, they should have the same tiles as the kitchen to avoid having too many different floor coverings, right?
I’ve attached a photo of the dining room – the wall on the right will be removed, and behind it is the kitchen where the floor would be tiled.
Do you have any ideas? I’m really struggling at the moment...

But it would have to be completely smooth without speckles in the pattern, right? That could actually fit quite well...Matt! And rather kept small. No competition between each other.W

And rather small. No competition among them.Okay, I can definitely imagine a matte finish as well. But in terms of size, I was thinking more along the lines of the same dimensions as the marble... or larger, like 60 x 60cm (24 x 24 inches)?
I think we really need to get some samples and see them in person to determine what might work. I find it quite difficult to find something that suits the white kitchen fronts.
The easiest option would probably be a wood-look, with the kitchen countertop matched accordingly. But unfortunately, my husband doesn’t like that.
I would have also recommended wood.
No, Bertram already explained it quite well: competition.
And doing something similar right "next door," meaning touching or within line of sight, often conflicts with the other.

I would use the same material.That’s exactly what I would do as well. Jura marble should be available in the same color.H
hanghaus202315 Jan 2023 08:26Do I understand correctly that you want to lay a tile on top of the marble?
I can’t really imagine that height difference looking good.

I can't really imagine such a level difference looking good.Yes, exactly, that's the plan... we would conceal the level difference with a transition strip.
