ᐅ Which type of flooring suits Jura marble?

Created on: 14 Jan 2023 20:21

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...

Empty room with beige tiled floor, hanging lampshade, window with curtains, and wooden furniture.

You can get Jura marble in any thickness and size you want. I would only fill the gap created by the demolition. Especially in white, the floor looks very nice because it doesn’t appear too sterile but still remains understated.

Yes… by now I also think that might not be such a bad idea. At least we would have the same flooring everywhere and no break in the kitchen. Which countertop would you choose with white? Wood-look or would grey also work?

I would remove the baseboards and replace them with white wooden trim. Classic country style or modern... depending on the look you want. The baseboards made of Jura stone make the room feel somewhat dated.

If the floor is going to stay, then the current trend of white might not be the best choice for the kitchen.

When renovating, I wouldn’t go 100% new. Why not highlight the gap where the wall was with a contrasting color? There’s probably going to be a beam above there, right?

I actually think white goes very well with the beige floor. I’m just unsure again about the color of the countertop.

There probably won’t be a beam there; the wall will be completely removed.

Oh, interesting idea. I hadn’t really considered that before. However, it would be quite a big job to do throughout the entire ground floor. For cleaning, the current setup is actually quite practical. But thanks for the suggestion.

Here are two pictures for inspiration on how it could look. We also have natural stone (travertine), similar in color to yours. A wooden baseboard is very durable and easy to clean.

Bright bathroom with glass shower, sink, windows with curtains, and plants.

Bright hallway with white sideboard, lamp, and wall art; view into living room with sofa.

Wow, thank you so much for the pictures! They look great. We really need to consider this (or see what the budget will allow in the end ;-) ).
