Kitchen Flooring Ideas

The kitchen really is the heart of the home. That's why the kitchen floor needs to be practical, hardwearing, stylish and echo your true personality. Many homeowners think that the floor in their kitchen is simply a practical choice, but it can also be a stylish statement. Below are some ideas to give you a little inspiration.

Wooden Luxury Vinyl Flooring

Deliver a modern contemporary appearance to your kitchen with the help of attractive, realistic wood-effect LVT kitchen flooring. Giving you the realism of a wooden floor with the water-resistance offered by luxury vinyl.

Trusty vinyl

Vinyl has long been a kitchen floor staple, but long gone are the days when vinyl was boring and brown. Today, vinyl is available in sheet and luxury tile, making it incredibly versatile. Vinyl is easy to clean, affordable, and waterproof, which is why many homeowners often opt for vinyl.

Stone

Stone has always been a popular option for the kitchen floor. This material is hardwearing but does require maintenance over the years. It also needs to be sealed, as stone is porous. The true beauty of stone is that it looks natural and is perfect for creating that country-style kitchen. An alternative to a traditional stone surface would be with some fantastic stone-effect laminate which retains the great look of stone while requiring much less maintenance.

Laminate flooring is one of the cheaper flooring options, so great if you are on a tight budget. It is durable, waterproof and warm to the touch.

Granite tiles

Granite tiles work well with all kitchen styles and will last a lifetime. If you are planning a family kitchen, then granite is well worth considering, as it will not stain, is waterproof, and is incredibly child friendly.

Get the parquet look

Paruet floors have come a long way from the old school hall look. Today, parquet flooring comes in a range of colours, shapes and sizes, allowing you to create fabulous patterns and themed floors. As with hardwood flooring, it will need to be sealed so as to be water resistant.

Hardwood floors

Many homeowners believe that they can't install hardwood floors in their kitchen, but this simply isn't true. Hardwood floors are a great choice, as they are durable and look fantastic when teamed with white looming walls, you just need to apply the right finish for you and seal them properly.

Paint those floorboards

If your floorboards are in good condition, then why not simply paint them? This will create a warm, contemporary and homely feel to any kitchen.

Porcelain tiles

When it comes down to choosing practical and hardwearing flooring, you can't go wrong with the modern porcelain tile. They will not stain, scratch, and are waterproof. Today you also have the luxury of being able to choose from many different colours and finishes.
