Kitchen Floors Ideas 2012: Light and Bright

2012 is in full flow and all the magazines and interior design blogs seem to be talking about pale flooring colour schemes in the kitchen. Everything from light wooden laminate to porcelain tiles. We seem to be moving more away from the traditional style country kitchen to ultra modern, clean lines and minimal clutter. Small colour injections are now being added using creative splash back designs and very vivid coloured wallpaper inside cabinets and around islands.

Here at Door and Floor Store all our laminate flooring ranges are FSC or PEFC approved and choosing an engineered floor over a solid floor saves 25% of the lumber required while retaining the same overall look. To keep up to date we have brought in some beautiful tile effect laminates and lighter wood floors. In the tiled range we have 3 different styles with large cassette tiles featuring an authentic U-groove grout, for an exceptionally realistic finish. Our lighter wooden laminates have the most exquisite features of premium quality timber to give your floor a natural look and feel.
