Benefits of Having Matrix Leather Granite:

Present a Unique and Rustic Style:

Leathered granite has an immediate rustic appeal due to its rough texture and slightly dulled hue, making it ideal for use in historic homes. Leathering, which is commonly seen on exterior countertops and vanities, can give a unique, antiqued, and seemingly traditional look to a typically standard type of countertop. While a polished finish can give a stone a high gloss and sheen, leathering gives it a more natural look, as if it were quarried that day from the side of a mountain. Leathered granite adds a natural element to an otherwise unnoticed surface.

Wonderful Texture:

The way leathered granite feels is one of its best features. Leathering can achieve a super-texturized to almost perfectly smooth feel depending on how far you go with the finish. This customization is not accessible in any other type of honed finish and is heavily dependent on the desired and perceived natural texture of the cut stone.

Stain Resistance:

Leathering granite is known to tighten the natural pores of the stone, reducing spillage damage. Because of this phenomenon, stains, the great enemy of all countertops, will not be able to coalesce as well as they would in a polished or honed surface, making leathering an excellent choice for a stain-resistant surface.

How to Match Your Cabinets with Matrix Granite Counter:

Cabinets in White

The bright white cabinets not only separate the kitchen but also add a modern touch to the space. Combining it with steel accents and other neutrals will truly make your kitchen stand out.

Dark Grey Cabinets

Grey is yet another neutral colour that evokes modernity, minimalism, and contemporary elegance all at once. While black can be combined with any shade of grey, the use of subdued grey cabinets in this one gives the kitchen a sleek and layered appearance. It also adds depth and the illusion of space, making everything look more cohesive and upscale. Incorporating steel elements is another excellent way to make it appear more expensive.

Off-White or Cream

If you don't like bright white, cream or off-white is a great alternative for black granite countertops. This combination is well-known in rustic or farmhouse kitchen aesthetics. The cream colour softens the bold, dark tone of black. The complementing wood flooring and stainless-steel appliances in this kitchen add to the modern, farmhouse feel.

Cabinets in Dark Brown

The stained hardwood cabinets, white sink area, and black granite countertop for the kitchen island are opulent symbols. The dark brown cabinets, in particular, add warmth to this transitional kitchen design. The combination of elements is also refreshingly contemporary. Everything in this kitchen is on point.

Vivid Green

Aside from blue undertones, you can also cook in an apple green backdrop for your kitchen cabinet. Green and black are an underappreciated colour combination. They have a sublime, organic appearance, and the jet black granite really grounds everything. The gleaming effect of stainless-steel appliances adds to the chic and modern appearance of this bright kitchen.

Maintaining the Black Granite

Although black granite is stunning and makes excellent countertops, there are a few things you should know about it before installing it in your home. Depending on the type of stone you select, its treatment will differ from that of other types of granite.

Granite should be sealed once or twice a year, depending on the finish and the type of use. This keeps it stain-free and looking good.

The Fear of Crowley (G)

A look at Crowley’s treatment of his houseplants from their point of view.

It had been a few days since he had been around, but the plants knew better than to let their guard down.  He would show up again and there would be cullings if things were not up to his strict standards.  They reached towards to the windows, stretching towards the sunlight that would keep them the best shades of green as only the healthiest colours were allowed.

One or two of them let their leaves lower just a little bit.  While they obviously needed to be at their best when he was in the flat, they did relax sometimes when the coast was clear.  Lately he had not been around much but when he had, he was in a foul mood. They kept what passed for ears in plants tuned to the front door.  Once it slammed shut, they had about thirty seconds to look their best before he entered the plant room.

He chose this room because of the floor-to-ceiling windows all along the west that provided them with as good of light as you could get in the middle of London, supplemented with grow lights hanging from the ceiling.  Terror alone couldn’t make a plant bigger or greener.

But even with light, water and the occasional shot of fertilizer, the onus was on them to always look their best. Many a fellow plant had come and gone, succumbing to leaf spots, wilt or lackluster growth.  Failure to thrive was not an option here.  Nobody would nurse you back to health.  You were verdant, luxurious and healthy-looking or you were unceremoniously shredded in the garbage disposal while the remaining flora was treated to one of his temper tantrums.  If that was your fate, at least you could thank your lucky stars plants did not possess nerves.

The door opened than slammed shut one early afternoon following a several days’ absence.  The terror in the plant room became palatable. Suddenly everyone from the smallest African violet to the tallest Kentia palm immediately perked up.

Must be green!  Must be tall!

One began to tremble. Its neighbors quickly shushed it. They stood at attention but a recently added flamingo flower broke down in the plant version of anxiety.  It had been the target of their owner’s wrath last week because it had yet to produce blooms.  It had a month to grow at least three and was reminded every misting that the clock was ticking.  It was doing its best to produce flower stalks and had managed a small one.  

Footsteps.

Must be green!  Must be tall!

“So.  How are we doing today?”  He stood there in a deceptively casual stance, plant mister held at his side. Yellow eyes darted from plant to plant, inspecting each for flaws.

He caressed the leaves of a rubber plant, the plant doing its best not to recoil in fear.  Close inspections were never a good thing and this particular plant had been warned before.  Its untouched leaves visibly raised; if it had been possible to make itself greener instantaneously, it would have.

“Didn’t we already have discussion a few weeks ago about your poor growth rate?”  he hissed in a soft, menacing voice to it.  “You have one week to give me five centimeters of growth or I’ll throw you off the balcony.  You can rot slowly on the pavement for all I care.”

The flamingo flower was addressed next as he misted them.  It tried its best to shrink to an unnoticeable size in its pot, but that trick was well known by their owner.  Many a plant had tried such a tactic and failed.

“You’re running out of time.  I only see one pathetic bloom stalk.  I want flowers.  That’s the point of you, isn’t it?  Remember what happened to peace lily that wouldn’t bloom?”

The flamingo flower remembered all too well.  He had scooped it up in a fit of anger, showed its lack of blooms to everyone in the room, then left for an hour only to return with an empty pot he set in the middle of the floor.  The plants endured horror-filled thoughts of what happened to their former friend until he decided to remove it three days later.  

They lost another of their friends during that dark time.  A pothos could not endure the pressure, breaking down in a nervous wilt that earned it a trip to the garbage disposal.  Their owner did like a plant that would tremble nicely when threatened, but completely nervous wrecks were not tolerated.

He put down the mister, picked up the watering can and stalked around checking each plant’s soil, occasionally watering one here and there.  A few others received some fertilizer.

“Well.  What do we have here?”  He eyed a small English ivy with one brown leaf tip.  

Its neighbors recoiled, getting as far away from the chosen target as they possibly could.  Its pot was yanked off the shelf it sat on with surprising speed. Those unforgiving yellow eyes examined it while a sneer formed on their owner’s mouth.

“What have you been told about leaf spots?  I will not tolerate anything less than perfect foliage, do you understand?”

The room filled with the sound of rustling leaves as the entire collection of greenery trembled violently.  One could almost hear the offending English ivy crying in fear.  

“Oh dear, there is going to be one less plant in here now, isn’t there?  I suggest the rest of you start putting in some effort before you share your friend’s fate.”

He stalked off down the hall to the kitchen, a room filled with pristine grey granite counters and unused stainless steel appliances.  Flicking on the garbage disposal, he let it run for about thirty seconds while conjuring up a pot identical to the one the plant was currently residing in.  

If foliage could look confused, this one would have as it sensed its owner walking back to the plant room, leaving it by the sink.

“Grow better!”  

The angry voice drifted back to it along with the sound of a ceramic pot clanging hollowly as it was placed on the tile floor.  Footsteps followed as the plant’s owner returned to the kitchen.

It found itself grabbed up, taken out the back door, out of the building and into a car where it endured a bit of a nerve-racking drive before the car was parked in front of colourful buildings along crowded pavements.

Carrying it into one, its owner set it on a counter next to an old-fashioned till in a room filled with books and cluttered with antique items, everything here looking as if it existed because it had special meaning to whoever owned this place.

“Angel!”

“Oh, hello, Crowley.  I wasn’t expecting you for another half hour,” a voice called from somewhere in the bookshelves.  Quick footsteps approached.  There was a pause.  “Culling the plants again, are we?”

“I can’t have leaf spots in my flat.  It just won’t do.  Just a dried tip.  Cut off that leaf, water it when it starts to dry out and put it in indirect light.  It should be fine.”

There was a sigh.  The plant assumed it came from the one called “Angel.”

“That’s the second one this month.  I’m running out of room for your rejects.  You need to learn to live with a few imperfections for once, my dear.”

“Would you rather I really threw them away?  Besides they brighten the shop up.  I think the rest of mine’ll fall into line now so I won’t have to get rid of any more. They were cowering quite nicely while I was lecturing them.  Anyway, lunch?  I’ll be waiting in the car.”

“Lecture?  I do believe terrorize would be a better phrase for what you do.”

“Oi!  Five minutes or I’m leaving without you.”

The door slammed.

The plant, in a state of utter confusion, found itself being inspected rather closely by Angel, who smiled at the terrified thing as he looked it over.

“Hello.  You are a beautiful one, aren’t you?  Such grand foliage, indeed.  And don’t worry; I don’t make it a habit of terrifying houseplants.  Really, he does have a bit of kindness in there somewhere otherwise you’d be compost. I’d better go because he does get dreadfully impatient, but it’ll give you a chance to settle in.  Later today we’ll find you a nice place to sit and soak up sunlight. Does that sound good?”

As the door closed for the second time leaving the plant alone there on the till counter, it relaxed its leaves a bit, thinking it was going to enjoy living here in this shop with the nice Angel who called it beautiful.

Some shitty old writing I will never touch again so I may as well share PART 3

  Meredith slipped through the door, flicking on her flashlight and shining it around. There were tracks left on the floor, no doubt that of the girl. Meredith steeled herself and ventured in, following.   Just a few cobwebs and dusty, dark ripped portraits and their staring eyes… and she was arachnophobic.   Well there were no spiders yet. It wasn’t that bad…

  She found herself regretting thinking that.   Especially standing in the middle of what seemed to be the main room. There were stains of something on the floor and the place stank of decay.   Meredith shuddered, looking around. There was nothing really out of place for a creepy old mansion. Dusty mahogany furniture, antique trinkets and treasures, that cobwebbed chandelier hanging above...   Except that lone candle at the foot of the stairs. It looked as if it had recently been used, the wax all melted and still slightly warm when she went to touch it. It didn’t have a layer of dust on it either.   Who even still used candles?   Meredith mused on this as she went on. The tracks stopped halfway up the stairs. She could see slight signs of a scuffle maybe, a bit of a struggle. Then hoof prints.   “Not scary….” She muttered, looking around and choosing a way to go.   Maybe she should back out? Like a normal person? But then the girl…   Meredith shook her head and straightened up. She came here to find the girl and make sure she’s safe. That’s what she was gonna do. So she steeled herself again and continued up the stairs.   The spectral whinny of a horse echoed more in the memory than in the physical world.   “Not scary at all…”

  Strange. Her flashlight was faltering. She was sure she had changed the batteries that day. And she didn’t have spares on her.   Hmm. And there was always this horse sounding in the back of her mind. It was kinda unsettling. Especially with that creepy monster she saw earlier- Meredith paused mid step.   “Horse…”   Her hair stood on end. There was a… presence behind her.   “Noises….?”   Slowly she turned. And nearly screamed.   It stood behind her, broad shoulders shrouded in white cloak down to the ground. It had a white head and glowing red eyes, granite-grey mane off to one side. Just about 8’, it towered over her, a bow and quiver across its back. It had the legs of a horse and a belt on which a folded bladed weapon was attached.   She screamed and ran, racing down the hall further into the house.   The only sounds she heard were her feet pounding against the carpet and her ragged breaths as she turned a corner and went deeper into the labyrinth of halls. Sometimes the ghostly call of the horse echoed in her mind, spurring her on until she reached a room with no other door. Desperately, she looked around for a hiding place, scrambling into the closet.   She panted slightly, holding her breath when she thought she heard footsteps.   The muffled thump of hooves came closer then went past.   Meredith looked out of the crack in the closet door, eyeing the room door.   Had she lost the monster? Had it gone ahead and missed her? Maybe she could hide out here until daybreak and be safe?   These thoughts came to the forefront of her mind, her heart still beating so hard she expected the monster to hear and fear fuelling her very being. She didn’t like this situation at all.   Then the door opened. The horse-headed monster entered. It stood in the doorway, looking around, then spoke, its mouth moving as if forcing its jaw to open wide enough.   “Child, I know you’re here. I request you please leave.”   It’s voice was sort of two-toned, bordering on masculine with a sort of child-like girl? Teenager? It was a man’s body too so naturally she assumed it was male.   He spoke softly, almost gently, as if it wasn’t his intention to scare. Oddly he had an Australian accent.   His eyes met hers, red clashing with grey-blue. The red gaze was unwavering, a glare that was terrifying but hid a layer of some unreadable emotion.   “Come out please. Allow me to walk you out of this house. It is not safe for you here.”   Meredith whimpered, unable to tear her eyes away.   He didn’t move, waiting for her to do as he asked. It seemed as though he had all the time in the world. His ears were cocked up, alert.   Finally, the human pushed open the door and stepped out. The horse-man’s ears turned to the sound but his eyes didn’t move though she had moved her head. Strange.   He outstretched a hand in her general direction, eyes still fixed on the spot she had been earlier.   Reluctantly she took the offered hand.   He started slightly then started to lead her to the exit silently. The horse man seemed nice.   “B-but what about the other human…?” Meredith asked at the doorway.   He cocked his head as if in thought.   “The other? Escaped to the forest. Now go.”   She didn’t need to be told twice. She fled to home.

  Once at home, Meredith slunk into her room. Her heart was still beating from the encounter and her hands shook. She sat on her bed, thinking about the man.   How odd that he simply wish to get her out safely and not to harm her. She thought monsters were meant to- Wait the girl was still in the forest. She should go-   There was a knock at the door. Her mum opened it and she heard hushed voices.   After calming down, Meredith went downstairs to see the girl quite unharmed and sitting on the couch with her phone out, typing away without a care in the world. Meredith breathed an almost inaudible sigh of relief and turned to go upstairs only to be stopped by the other.   “Hello.”   She turned to the girl on the couch who was now looking at her.   “Um… hi?” She awkwardly greeted her guest.   The other put her phone in her pocket, her full attention on the blonde.   “My name’s Alyssa.” There was a pause and a slight wince when she said that name. “Pleasure to meet you.”   She had an Australian accent.   “The pleasure’s all mine.” Meredith rubbed the back of her neck awkwardly, stepping to sit on the couch beside Alyssa. “I’m Meredith.”   The two sat in silence for a bit, neither sure what to say. Alyssa got out her phone after a few minutes and continued typing. From what little Meredith could see, it was a blog she was working on. Meredith studied the girl more.   Alyssa was filipina and had olive skin, pretty dark brown, almost black, eyes and black hair. She wore glasses, a baggy pair of pants and a large black t-shirt with a horse-headed warrior printed on it under a big white jacket. Wait-   “You don’t happen to have a Skype, do you?”   The question was out of her mouth before she could stop it and Alyssa looked up, a small grin on her face.   “I was wondering how long it would take for you to notice. The punslinger’s in USA.”   Meredith promptly tackle-hugged her amidst laughter.

  Alyssa’s parents returned to pick her up the next morning, chatting away in tagalog as they went next door. It made Meredith happy to know her friend was now her neighbour. Especially when her family were previously the only ones in the street.   Well that wasn’t true there was also the family down the road she guessed. But they were a weird bunch and did wacky things like seemingly walk through walls and up stairs that don’t exist. They said they were magicians.   Maybe they were ghosts.   Meredith chuckled as she watched the new family fully check out the house. It seemed they’d be doing most of the repairs themselves. Wonder how that would turn out.   The girl got dressed and went downstairs to go over and join them. She had nothing much to do anyway. May as well help out.   Alyssa was watching her sisters when Meredith approached. Both were younger and one was on her phone while the other skipped. Alyssa looked up at the arrival.   “Heya Meredith.”   “Yo.”   “Ate made friends with the locals?” The youngest stopped skipping to bounce over. What a cute child. “Who’s your friend?”   Alyssa chuckled.   “This is Meredith, our neighbour.”   “Hey there.” Meredith grinned at the child who squeaked and quickly ran to her   parents. Hmm.   “She’s just shy.”   “Hope so. I’m not that scary am I?”   Alyssa laughed at that. It was nice to have someone amused by her. At least one of her friends was in walking distance.   They spent the day running around helping fix things and find exactly what was where.

  Me: Hey you saw the horse-headed dude too right?   Punslinger is typing   Meredith sat back from her computer later that night. She had forgotten to ask in her excitement earlier that day but now…   Punslinger: Why do you ask?   Meredith looked out the window at the mansion. The man didn’t seem to be there or at least not where she could see.   Me: Your family is moving into a haunted house. I saw a horse-headed monster there last night.   There was no response for 5 minutes straight.   Punslinger: Nah I’m the monster.   Leave it to Alyssa to make a joke in this situation. It left Meredith smiling too.

How to buy the best kitchen flooring for you

What types of kitchen flooring can you buy?

Natural stone

This includes limestone, travertine, granite and slate, is a popular choice thanks to its unique veining and available colours. Finishes can be tumbled, for a more aged, antique look, honed, for a modern matt surface or polished for a light-reflecting shine. Some stones will be more hardwearing than others.

Limestone, for example, can be etched by acids, such as fizzy drinks and descaler, so it’s a good idea to seal it initially then reseal it regularly to protect the surface. On the plus side, it’s durable, easy to clean and is UFH-compatible. However, if you’re standing for any length of time, it can make your legs ache. It’ll be cold in the winter without UFH, while softer stones may scratch and textured surfaces harbour dirt.

Timber

It’s best to avoid using solid wood in the working areas of a kitchen as the boards can shift and warp with humidity and UFH. Blocks, such as parquet, are more stable but should still be cleaned with a damp, rather than wet, mop. A better option is engineered boards – made with a core of HDF or plywood with a layer of real wood on top. These are more stable structurally and usually UFH-compatible as well.

Other options include naturally bacteria-resistant and eco-friendly cork and bamboo, but like all such woods, they’re easily dented. In most cases, wood can be repaired with gentle sanding and refinishing. Check if your boards come prefinished or if they have to be oiled or waxed on a regular basis.

Vinyl

Vinyl has come a long way since it first appeared in the kitchen and its new-gen hard incarnation, LVT (as opposed to sheet vinyl on a roll), is easy to clean, water-resistant and comfy underfoot. In some cases, it can even be laid straight over an existing floor. Most tiles and planks replicate wood or stone with a digital print and faux grout lines but you can also find coloured and patterned tiles. Choose a good-quality version and it’ll have a thick wear layer so it protects against damage and scratches. Many are UFH-compatible but check with the supplier.

Laying it properly is key to its longevity – the sub-floor will need to be even and you may have to fit underlay first or glue it in place, depending on the system. Be sure to add pads to stool or chair legs to prevent damage over time.

Laminate

If you’re choosing laminate, it pays to invest. While there are several budget options, they may not be especially hardwearing or water-resistant. Good-quality versions, however, come with realistic-looking designs and planks that can survive the odd spill. Laminate is made from a melamine back, an HDF core and a high-resolution image of wood, stone or tiles protected by a transparent wear layer. This makes it resistant to scuffs and scratches, although damage can’t be repaired.

Laminate can also sometimes feature a textured finish for extra realism. Even at the top end, it’s still a relatively affordable flooring option that won’t stain and won’t need sealing. Check its UFH-compatibility though, as not all of them will suit dry systems, and some require underlay.

Tiles

Ceramic, porcelain or terracotta tiles are another popular option. Porcelain is a harder version of ceramic, meaning that it’s low maintenance, hygienic, easy to clean and incredibly durable. It’s also UFH-compatible and is often available in covetable marble or reclaimed timber effects. Porcelain tiles are usually more expensive than ceramic. They’re cold without heating and can be uncomfortable for long periods of standing.

More affordable ceramic and terracotta tiles have many of the same qualities but can crack and chip more than porcelain. This is worse for ceramic tiles, as any chips will reveal the white base – terracotta is, at least, solid-bodied.

Lino or rubber

Lino – or under its brand name, Marmoleum, is a mix of linseed oil, cork, wood and resin as waterproof sheets or tiles. It’s durable, warm underfoot and hygienic but needs to be sealed once it’s laid. On the plus side, it’s easy to clean and UFH-compatible. On the negative? It can fade over time or develop a yellowish tinge.

Rubber tiles or sheets are equally comfy underfoot, and have the bonus of being water-resistant and robust. It can even be designed with studs for extra grip. On the downside, it can dent over time, and smooth finishes can be slippery. Rubber tiles need a smooth subfloor and you’ll need to check if your version is UFH-compatible.

Concrete and resin

Poured floors are ideal for creating a seamless finish but require more complex, and often costly, installation. Concrete needs sealing once it’s set to be water and stain-resistant, but it’s otherwise easy to clean and UFH-compatible. It’s resistant to chips and cracks. Resin is warm underfoot, waterproof, easy to clean and UFH-compatible but again, will need to be sealed to help protect it from scratches and stains. However, it can be refreshed with sanding and resealed if damaged.

The best kitchen flooring to buy

1. Aqualock 12mm Laminate Flooring French Grey Oak: The best flooring for speedy installation

Price: £27 per sq m | Buy now from UK Flooring Direct

If you’re fitting your flooring yourself or are simply pressed for time, then these laminate floorboards from Aqualock come with a DIY friendly click-in system that makes them super simple to fit. They’re guaranteed for 35 years and remain water-resistant for up to 48 hours, so you won’t have to worry if you’ve got leaks (at least, not about your flooring).

Another appeal of this flooring is its mixing of different tones of grey; this creates a dynamic look, unlike the flat, repetitive uniformity of other laminate floorboards. This colour mixing makes it easy to match with any kitchen colour palette and there’s also a UV-resistant coating that helps to prevent colour fading. The floor’s scratch resistant textured surface follows the ‘grain’ of the planks meaning that you can drop pretty much anything on this floor and it won’t get damaged, or lose its realistic appearance.

Key specs – Size: 138 x 19.1 x 1.2cm (HWD); Type: laminate; Features: 48 hour water resistance, UV resistance, scratch-resistant, textured surface, 35-year warranty; UFH-compatible: Yes (water only)

Buy now from UK Flooring Direct

2. Karndean Da Vinci CER13 Eisen: The best for family kitchens

Price: From £38 per sq m | Buy now from Flooring Hut

Inspired by weathered steel, Eisen LVT flooring doesn’t just tick the box for style credentials, it’s also perfect for a family kitchen. It’s super low maintenance, requiring a simple sweep and mop to stay spotless, plus it’s waterproof so there’s no need to worry about spills; just wipe and go. Should any part become damaged, individual tiles can be replaced, while its K-Guard+ PU coating creates a non-porous surface that gives germs, dirt or bacteria nowhere to hide.

Meanwhile, the blend of dark tones and subtle patterns ensures that it’ll complement a range of kitchen styles. You can personalise it with borders or light or dark grout strips, or have it laid in a staggered pattern. It’s pricier than some LVT, however, so if you’re covering a large space, you may want to opt for it in just in the working area.

Key specs – Size: 30.5 x 45.7 x 0.3cm (HWD); Type: LVT; Features: 0.7mm wear layer, bevelled edge, lifetime guarantee; UFH-compatible: Yes (if insulated)

Buy now from Flooring Hut

3. Topps Tiles Woodeves Grey tiles: The best kitchen flooring on a budget

Price: £20 per sq m | Buy now from Topps Tiles

Embodying all that’s great about modern ceramic flooring, the Woodeves range of timber-effect tiles comes with a tactile surface and a realistic grain pattern, giving it a premium look far beyond its price tag. This mellow grey colourway is ideal for mixing and matching with encaustic-style tiles or co-ordinating with a simple Shaker kitchen in a deeper tone.

The tiles need very little maintenance once installed, and aside from not using highly alkaline or acidic cleaners, can be kept spotless with a simple sweep and mop.

Key specs – Size: 57 x 19 x 0.9cm (HWD); Type: ceramic; Features: also available in Oak; UFH-compatible: Yes

Buy now from Topps Tiles

4. The Natural Wood Floor Company Oak Aged Parquet Oiled: The best flooring for a classic kitchen

Price: £63 per sq m | Buy now from the Natural Wood Floor Company

Parquet wood flooring is a great way to introduce subtle pattern, but while solid blocks will be less prone to warping than planks, they’re still not recommended for use with underfloor heating. This engineered parquet floor is UFH-compatible, however, thanks to a ply backing with an oak veneer glued on top – giving the appearance of a solid wood floor but with greater stability.

Tumbled edges and a reclaimed appearance means it’ll look like it’s been part of the fabric of your home for decades, while its pre-oiled finish enhances the natural beauty and knots of the wood, and it can be stuck down to a concrete screed or ply subfloor. This one will take a little maintenance – It’s a good idea to re-oil it regularly in high traffic areas, and the kitchen always qualifies.

Key specs – Size: 40 x 10 x 1.9cm (HWD); Type: engineered wood; Features: tongue and groove profile; UFH-compatible: Yes

Buy now from the Natural Wood Floor Company

5. Beswick Stone Keynes Mix Limestone: The longest-lasting floor

Price: £41 per sq m | Buy now from Beswick Stone

While kitchen floors tend to become worn and fade with age, a hard-wearing stone floor simply improves to last a lifetime, making it the best value for money buy. This Keynes Mix limestone is a great example, featuring tiles in two neutral shades – a warm honey beige and soft grey – for a unique multi-toned floor that blends well with different kitchen styles and colours.

It’s available in 40cm widths and random lengths as well as an opus pattern that comprises four different sizes for an interesting layout. However, it’s worth noting that the tumbled edges can mean thicker grout lines that attract dirt. It’s essential to seal this floor and use a cleaner designed for natural stone products. You might also want to pair it with UFH for comfort, as limestone can be very cool to the touch.

Key specs – Size: [four tile sizes for opus pattern] 60 x 40 x 1.5cm, 40 x 40 x 1.5cm, 40 x 20 x 1.5cm, 19.7 x 19.7 x 1.5cm (all HWD); Type: natural stone; Features: chalky matte finish; UFH-compatible: Yes

Buy now from Beswick Stone

6. CRL Stone Ceralsio Calacatta Gris Polished tiles: The best low-maintenance floor

Price: From £67 per sq m | Buy now from Ceralsio

For those who love the look of marble but not the sealing and care that comes with stone, there are Ceralsio porcelain tiles. Sintered at a temperature of more than 1,200°C, these are hard-wearing, non-porous, scratch and stain-resistant and even UV stable, meaning you can continue your floor onto a patio for an inside-outside living feel.

What really sets these tiles apart, however, is the surface. It’s printed using a ‘Full Digital’ system, which means the pattern is unique and unrepeatable from tile to tile. This sets it apart from other marble look-a-like tiles, which can appear suspiciously similar to each other when viewed en-masse on the kitchen floor. You might need to budget a bit more for this class of flooring, but given its easy cleaning credentials and general imperviousness to everything, it’ll save you plenty of time in return.

Key specs – Size: from 150 x 150 x 0.6cm (HWD); Type: porcelain; Features: natural or polished finish, impact-resistant; UFH-compatible: Yes

Buy now from Ceralsio

7. Kahrs European Naturals Collection, Oak Hampshire at John Lewis: The best flooring for natural character

Price: £67 per sq m | Buy now from John Lewis

Despite a slew of lookalikes, real wood is the only choice for some. Warm, comfy underfoot and with a wear layer that’s sliced from a single piece of oak, these matt lacquered engineered boards have a soft-polished sheen that’s designed to make the most of the grain, knots and cracks, not to mention the lovely light to dark brown colour variations. However, these boards give you more than just a clever construction – each has been specially shaped so it locks into the next, allowing it to be installed quickly with strong, glue-free joints.

This floor will need a bit more maintenance than some floors, requiring oiling once in place and spills wiped-up straight away. It also needs a well-wrung mop rather than a wet-cleaning, along with an annual re-oil. The effect is worth it, though, when you see how good these look.

Key specs – Size: 242 x 18.7 x 1.5cm (HWD); Type: engineered wood; Features: 3.5mm wear layer, 30-year warranty; UFH-compatible: Yes (with moisture barrier)

Today we had a meeting with Michelle Tracy, for the next show, TomorrowLove. It is a chance to work with another designer and see how she works with our departments. The play has a futuristic aesthetic so a lot of modern construction and mostly working on a greyscale. The big projects are creating faux marble for a kitchen island, painting about 29 boxes that can act like a seat or a riser, and the Paris Portal which is a door in the shape of a solar eclipse. The designer was also passionate about reusing resources we have and sustainability is a growing topic that should be addressed in our industry. 

Before the design meeting, Aya and I took down the canvas frame we used in Pandora as it was made for the size of the wallpapers. We used a chisel and a mallet to take out the straps attached to the wood and canvas as well as pliers to take the staples out. I developed a blister by doing this without a gloves first because I was not thinking about my safety and had to take a break before going back in to not risk it popping.

We spent the day making a sample and learned different techniques to paint the marble streaks. Knowing the characteristics of the marble is useful as we can replicate it better like the coming and going of the veins and the randomness of the stone. The first step was to draw the first layer of the marble. Tools like a feather, a small paintbrush, and a long strand of yarn is used to draw and a wet rag is on hand to subtract.The designer also wants a green undertone so we also used a dark green and made it look like a sea foam as a second layer. An average faux marble could have 3 or more layers depending on the look. The third layer was a mix of black and steel grey metallic paint that to also add black streaks and remove the defining features of the streaks. I used my knowledge from paint class as we did antiquing and it used a lot of water which was also the case for this project. Afterwards, we put on a mixture of water, and a 1:1 ratio of flat glaze and glossy glaze for a semi-gloss result. However, I was not satisfied with my sample but then again it was the first time I was doing it.

A lot of the work for this show is different from the Pandora because the designer wants subtle techniques like the eclipse backdrop has a pink streak that is almost a gradient and the making the granite. I want to improve on this making faux marble by doing more but I am switching departments. I hope I can use the skills I worked on in this department in future endeavors. 

Notes on Photos:

• How to draw marble veins on a dry surface vs. a wet one

), and with interiors by Tyler Colgan, this Modern English Farmhouse comes to detox our minds of cluttered spaces, and I don’t say that only because this home was just completed and it’s still unfurnished, but mostly because its empty spaces will allow you to imagine how you could decorate it and, most importantly, it will allow you to notice the architectural details in a way that you might not have had if this home was already furnished.

Take notes on the sources shared such as paint colors, lighting, countertops and notice the inspiring kitchen and bathrooms details. I hope you have a really good time!

Modern English Farmhouse

  Hello, my friends! How are you feeling today? I hope you’re feeling good, in good health, and are able to take a few minutes to enjoy this house tour I have prepared for you. It’s truly a pleasure to share such a beautiful home!

Recently built by Macallan Custom Homes, designed by TS Adams Studio Architects (also featured here, here, here & here – yes, I do love their work!

), and with interiors by Tyler Colgan, this Modern English Farmhouse comes to detox our minds of cluttered spaces, and I don’t say that only because this home was just completed and it’s still unfurnished, but mostly because its empty spaces will allow you to imagine how you could decorate it and, most importantly, it will allow you to notice the architectural details in a way that you might not have had if this home was already furnished.

Take notes on the sources shared such as paint colors, lighting, countertops and notice the inspiring kitchen and bathrooms details. I hope you have a really good time!
