If you’re planning a kitchen remodeling project, you may be making decisions about the flooring type. There are more options to consider than ever before, which can make the process seem daunting. However, you can find the perfect choice for your home with the helpful guide below.

What Are Your Needs?

kitchen remodelingEach home has unique considerations to weigh when assessing kitchen remodeling. For example, if you have children or pets, you’ll need a durable flooring material that can withstand heavy foot traffic and stand up to scratches.

Parents with young children and anyone who does lots of cooking will also want to look for a style that can hold up to spills. If you entertain frequently, you’ll also want a scratch-resistant surface that’s easy to keep clean.  

What Are Your Options?

Once you’ve identified your needs, you can start on the flooring portion of your kitchen remodel. Compare the qualities of top flooring materials against your must-haves. Here are a few examples to consider:

  • Laminate: Laminate can withstand heavy foot traffic and is durable enough to outlast stains and spills. It’s also available in a broad range of styles to suit any kitchen aesthetic. It can even be designed to look like hardwood or natural stone.
  • Hardwood: A classic choice coveted by many homeowners, hardwood adds warmth and aesthetic appeal to any space. You’ll need to wipe up spills quickly and avoid wearing heels to prevent scratches, but refinishing can help to keep your hardwood floors looking their best for many years.
  • Tile: Tile allows for a significant amount of personal style. Wider ceramic tiles can be installed in virtually any color or pattern and can make your kitchen look spacious. It’s also well-suited for heavy foot traffic and is easily maintained with regular sweeping and mopping.  
  • Luxury Vinyl: With a protective upper layer, luxury vinyl is well-suited for home chefs and families with pets or children. Its nonporous surface resists stains and makes spill cleanup simple. Vinyl is also available in a number of different colors and patterns.
