Interior design tip/advice

I recently got new dark brown oak worktops for my kitchen and also brown oak effect tiles in my bathroom.

I'm now struggling to figure out what sort of floor to choose that will go in both bathroom and kitchen.

Would it be overkill to choose brown wooden flooring? Or is more advisable to use tile flooring or even white oak wooden flooring.

These are the tiles are got for the bathroom:

This is the style of kitchen worktop:

Whatever flooring I choose will have to go in both kitchen and bathroom.

OP, if it was me I'd go with a contrast which is within the same pallet of colours. Your first link didn't work for me, but the amazon one did. The work tops might be fine with a wooden floor depending on colour of your units. Not sure why you would want the same flooring in both rooms though.
We have some decent laminate flooring in bathroom - which is for bathrooms, presumably due to likely having more water on it than elsewhere. We have a lino floor in the kitchen which looks nicer than the wooden floor in the living room tbh, though we were a bit short of cash when we got it. Having said that, I think it's gonna last longer than the wood stuff, and probably the laminate.
You could try a few shops and see if they'll give you some samples and try and picture it in place, or try a bit of jiggery pokery with photos of your rooms, see if you can take a picture then change the colour of the floor in your pictures.

Thank you. I figured if I go with same flooring in kitchen as bathroom, then there’s one less thing to worry about.

That's fine if the floor goes with the items in both rooms. Otherwise it isn't really interior design, it's picking one floor to save time .

I can't see the tiles either but the worktop looks like a smoke grey colour, not brown.

There are samples available online of everything so I collect samples and put everything together to create a proposal for each room. Both texture and colour are important. In a kitchen that would be units, worktop, tiles, flooring, paint. Paint is always last.

I would not pick a lighter, more traditional yellow shade of oak to go with your worktop. In fact I would avoid anything with a yellow tone. I would probably pick a complimenting great shade of flooring or a much darker brown.

Thank you! Unfortunately I have zero creativity skills and probably should have given it more thought before I chose the tiles and work top.

Thanks for the information about the work top. I’ll avoid anything with a yellow tone.

Here’s another link to the tiles: https://vitraglobal.com/vitra-tiles/nature/ceramic-texture/45x45-elegant-tile-mocha-matt-sku-k832314

What are your thoughts on the tile?

My units are cream but have a very subtle pink hue.
