Selecting new flooring for your kitchen can be difficult. With so many options out there, how is it even possible to make the right decision?! Well luckily, our team of experts have come up with two solid upscale flooring options for your kitchen plus one obvious flooring option that you should absolutely never try!
Tile
Tile flooring is an affordable, versatile, and stylish option for any kitchen. When it comes to tile, you have the option of laminate, which is a cheaper tile, and stone tile. Stone flooring is an extremely attractive and durable flooring option for any home. Tile and stone flooring is easy to clean, and its range of colors will accent nicely with any kitchen hardware.
Hardwood
Perhaps the most popular kitchen flooring option of all is hardwood. According to recent surveys, approximately 90% of homeowners choose hardwood or tile for their kitchen flooring. And even though hardwood is more expensive, approximately 54% of individuals are willing to pay more for hardwood because of its durability and beauty. For the most part, homeowners like hardwood floors with wide planks, that are about 7 or 8 inches wide. Back in the day, however, the preference was a 6 inch width, only a slight difference.
Do Not Try: Carpeting
If you have ever even considered putting wall to wall carpet in you kitchen, then we are mildly concerned for you. Kitchens are high mess, high moisture environments, where a great deal of wear and tear can take place. If your sink overflows or your dish washer leaks, or heaven forbid, you drop that precious casserole on the floor, the moisture and grime gets mashed into the carpet and will likely remain there until you replace your carpet. And area rug or a runner isn’t the worst thing, but anything beyond that, you might want to forget that carpet.
