We have planned an open living-dining-kitchen area. In the living room, we are installing oak-colored laminate flooring in Fattoria style, and the kitchen is finished in a matte Fango color with small orange accents. The kitchen tiles will directly meet the laminate.
We definitely need tiles in the kitchen (we have dogs who often spread water generously around their bowls). I’m completely unsure about which tile color would suit this combination.
The kitchen consultant suggested that darker colors are usually preferred. Originally, I had light gray in mind, but my husband isn’t very keen on that.
Does anyone have a specific idea of what would work well here?
Thank you very much!

Hello Jeanette,
But you know during the selection process that it is one room!
The floor has a mix of brown tones, while the kitchen in the same room is more taupe... At least that’s what the online pictures tell me.
I’m already having some mental difficulties guessing that your furniture will have a completely different tone (patterned sofa, wood, birch…?)
Anyway, here’s a suggestion without having drawn anything…
White tiles and then use the darker laminate wood tone as the kitchen wall color (to create a harmonious overall look). Then use the white from the tiles again as the wall color in the living area, possibly with an accent wall in fango 😉
Or what about those orange accents? Could they come from the color scheme of the laminate? If so, then that color—orange—would be quite a bold choice 😉
Unfortunately, I rarely saw a good area of the fango in pictures, maybe you should upload some photos or even the floor plan of the room.
Otherwise, here’s a tip: try coloring the plan with colored pencils for the colors. There is a parallel thread here about bathroom tiles that explains the best approach.
Colors shouldn’t compete in the room: one main tone, then an accent color… Or multiple colors from the same palette.
For connection, use the neutral white.
