If you currently have chipped tile, scarred hardwood or (gasp) carpet in your kitchen, it may be time for a kitchen flooring makeover. The question is, what look will you choose?
Most kitchens are high-traffic areas prone to spills and stains. So, for lasting beauty, you can choose a durable, water-resistant material that's also aesthetically pleasing.
Arguably the most popular choice, tile has long been the king of kitchen flooring. When installed properly and sealed, tile can last for decades or longer. Ceramic and porcelain tiles come in matte or shiny, textured or smooth, neutral or colorful styles. From mosaic tiles in a variety of shapes to traditional square or rectangular tiles, you have endless choices with this material.
Another choice that’s growing in popularity is luxury vinyl flooring. Its square tiles or rectangular planks are available in a wide array of finishes that mimic tile, stone, and hardwood. It’s waterproof, allowing you to have the look of hardwood without the worry. It’s also less expensive than tile or hardwood. So, pick the style that appeals to you.
Hardwoods give kitchens a warm, natural vibe. However, this flooring choice is more expensive than other options. If you choose hardwood, you will need to have your kitchen flooring sealed to make it water-resistant. Laminate floors provide a cost-effective alternative to hardwood. However, like hardwood, laminate is not waterproof.
