Here, threshold separates gray tile from the wooden hallway beyond and serves to distinctly divide the two rooms.
Lighterwood cabinets, which are present in both the kitchen and beyond, maintain a sense of cohesiveness.

Here, terrazzo tile makes a bold statement when used on both the floors and backsplash.
The adjoining wood floor also boasts a decorative pattern yet one that is entirely different from this speckled design.
The traditional style pairs nicely with the original warm wooden flooring throughout the rest of the space.

The flooring here is a warm color that complements both of the shades used on the cabinetry and built-ins.
