Painted Floor Ideas for the Kitchen

Dress Up Floors with Diamonds

Jazz up an otherwise traditional kitchen by painting the floor in a diamond pattern. If the original wood is in good condition, let its natural color provide half of the color scheme. In this kitchen, the choice of black for the other half was guided by the color of the countertops and the dark hue of the ceiling beams.

These diamonds are about 16 inches on each side, a bold scale that suits the 21x11-foot dimensions of the room. Use the width of your kitchen to help you determine the best dimensions for your diamonds.
