Floor tile to go with kitchen?

i pulled up the timber laminate to address some water damage and the builder recommended laying tiles down instead. At the moment I’m thinking of just putting down polished light grey/beige tiles but I have no idea if it’s going to look good or clunky.

This is the kitchen before I pulled up the floors. Anyone have any suggestions on which type of tile I should put down?

Walls are light grey, cabinets are beige, counter top is hard wood, splashback is white.

 

Shame about the beige cabinets. Light grey with matching light grey grout will look good. Choose a large format like 600 x 600 to minimise grout lines.

 

Vinyl strip flooring in a similar grey/limed oak.

 

I can always put the timber floors back down, they are in good condition and only a year old I’d just epoxy seal the concrete floor to prevent moisture issues. but I was thinking polished tiles could enhance the kitchen.

 

My friend who’s helping me is a cabinet maker, i’ll see what he can be done about changing the cabinet doors and bench top. The price of flat pack kitchens is too much (2-5k).

 

Was gonna make this suggestion actually, hopefully you do.

 

We put timber look tiles in our IP

 

SPC floor board. They are 100% waterproof and have the timber look on the top.

 

I think your cabinet doors are an ok look but if they were crisp white it would be better.

A grey concretey look tile would like fine but I wouldn't go too polished. Look for a more matte look.

I figured the boards got damaged by a dishwasher leak but you're saying they are fine? if they are fine then I'd just replace them and save money to do something like a new bench top and splashback tiling.
