In the past, the only real options for kitchen flooring were tile and laminate. With advanced technology, however, you have many popular choices for your kitchen floor. Take a look at the latest kitchen flooring trends below.
Terra-Cotta Tiles
Terra-cotta tiles come in a variety of colors and shapes. These design options will add a depth of color and beauty to a kitchen styled in stone and dark woods. Terra-cotta tiles can be used in any kitchen décor, but their rich colors will lend themselves best to a European or cottage-themed house.
Hardwood Planks
Hardwood is a popular flooring material for kitchens and other areas of the house. There are a variety of hardwood species that can be stained in other colors to match your kitchen décor. Ensure that you have a professional lay the planks and show you how to maintain your new kitchen floor. Hardwood may warp or split if it is not properly maintained.
Cork Floors
Cork flooring is a form of wood flooring, but it is less likely to become damaged or warped. Cork wood is also one of the most renewable flooring materials, and it provides a cushioned wood floor for your kitchen.
Concrete Slabs
Concrete has become a popular flooring material because it is inexpensive and can be stained or painted in different colors. Concrete floors are great for the desert, because they are easily maintained and will stay cool during the summer.
Ceramic Tiles
Ceramic tiles come in countless designs that can look like wood, stone, or decorated tiles. If you love the look of hardwood floors, but you do not want the maintenance, then ceramic tiles or planks may be the perfect choice. If you wish for a Mediterranean or Old World kitchen style, then you can install decorated ceramic tiles alongside your terra-cotta tiles.
