How to Choose the Best Flooring for Kitchens

To help you narrow down your kitchen flooring options, we’ve put together some essential factors to keep in mind:

Water Resistance
Kitchens are the source and the scene of many a mess, from spilled sauces to dripping dishes. Depending on how much usage your kitchen sees, you may want to opt for a water-resistant or even waterproof floor. This can make for easier cleanup in the moment and maintenance over the years.

Maintenance
Some materials simply last longer than others, but a lot depends on proper maintenance. Hardwood floors can look beautiful for decades, but only if you care for them properly. If you have an active lifestyle or a large family, you may want to choose something like kitchen laminate flooring, which requires minimal maintenance.

Style
Our kitchen floors offer the best of both worlds when it comes to form and function. We’re here to help you get the look you’re envisioning with the durability and low maintenance requirements you’re dreaming of.

Cost
Do you have a small galley kitchen or a generous space with a gorgeous island? The total square footage of your kitchen will determine how much material you’ll need. The type of material you choose will also impact the final cost of the project.

Installation
Think about whether you’d like to work with a flooring professional for installation or DIY your kitchen floor. If you choose to tackle the project yourself, look for a flooring material that features easy-click installation.

Kitchen Ideas with Tile

We love kitchen tiles because they can be made to look like so many different materials, such as marble and even hardwood. At the same time, porcelain tile is low-maintenance and waterproof, meaning that it performs beautifully when compared to real stone or wood floors.

Waterproof Vinyl Kitchen Floors

Vinyl flooring is a sturdy, resilient material printed with ultra-realistic patterns. Kitchen vinyl flooring can give your floor the look of hardwood or stone without the associated cost. It’s also extremely resistant to scuffs, scratches, and stains, making it a wonderful choice for families of young children or pet owners.

Choosing the Best Floors for Kitchens is Easy

We can talk about special features and unique materials endlessly—but at the end of the day, the perfect flooring for your kitchen is the one that fits your unique lifestyle and your décor preferences. So, how do you hone in on what’s most important to you?

The usage and expected wear of your kitchen is a great place to start. If you know your kitchen floor will see heavy foot traffic and more than a few messes, for example, you’ll likely want to opt for a waterproof material that cleans up quickly, like kitchen vinyl flooring. If you don’t expect very much mess or heavy usage and you love the look of real wood, you might install water-resistant engineered hardwood floors in your kitchen.

Your style is another important factor to keep in mind when picking out kitchen floors. Whether you’re curating a minimalistic, all-white look or following a moody, dark jewel-toned theme, your kitchen floor should fit the atmosphere. Our wide range of colors and materials has something for every style, making it simple to find a beautiful flooring material that complements your countertops, cabinets, and overall aesthetic.
