If you’re planning to redesign your kitchen, one of the biggest and most visible elements you’ll need to replace is the flooring. The type of floor you choose has an impact on both the aesthetics and layout of your kitchen. Here are three options for attractive and easily maintained floors.

Kitchen Flooring Ideas

1. Luxury Vinyl

Vinyl flooring is durable, waterproof, and stain-resistant. Thanks to its nonporous surface, it’s easy to clean by simply sweeping and mopping. Vinyl compresses slightly underfoot, making it comfortable to walk on and ideal for a kitchen where you will stand for long periods while cooking. Best of all, it comes in a full range of style options, from attractive simulated wood to tile and other patterns.

2. Tile

For a classic look, many prefer ceramic tile. Like vinyl, it’s fairly easy to clean and isn’t damaged by water. The tiles are resistant to stains, although the grout is more vulnerable. Tile comes in a full range of colors, patterns, and sizes, and many no-slip options are available for extra safety.

3. Hardwood

Wood flooring is another classic look, and when well maintained, it’s resilient against staining and small amounts of water. However, don't let the finish wear down or moisture soak in. If the floors are damaged, it's inexpensive to refinish them—other options can only be replaced. To make your finish last longer, avoid dragging furniture across the floor, and wear shoes with softer soles when preparing meals.
