Default Laminate / Real Wood Flooring Choice

Hi,

I'm replacing my laminate for some new lam/real wood (pref choice) my kitchen is maple and so are my doors / Hall Cupboard, the question is would this floor go with Maple ????

If not can you recommend a colour that would? want to have a darker colour than whats down at the mo...

This is a link to see what my current floor looks like;

Personally I wouldn't put wood or laminate in the kitchen. Laminate can be damaged by water spillage. Tiles would be better and if well laid should last a lifetime. Also with tiles you won't have issues of the two different kinds of wood (ie floor and units) clashing

imho!

There are laminates out there that are designed for kitchen / bathroom use, we laid some a few weeks ago. Not a fan of laminate myself, I would say a decent hardwood would be ok as long as there are no moisture problems / slow leeks.

But personaly I'd would always tile a kitchen / bathroom floor.

PS: I have a solid white oak floor in my living room and hallway, looks fantastic!

I do like this look, but would it go with maple and would it look odd in a city cetre apartment (ie is this an old look )
