Whether you're building a new home or renovating an old one, there's no doubt that the kitchen will need to be addressed at some point in the process. Kitchen flooring ideas can help you set the tone for your space and define what you want from your kitchen. Do you want a modest and easy-to-clean kitchen? Preference should be given to durable flooring materials. Want something comfortable for hours of meal prep? Maybe something a little softer material would be better. Are you not much of a home cook and consider your kitchen primarily a space for entertaining? Aesthetics should be your top priority. The questions you ask yourself about your flooring will undoubtedly influence every other part of your design.
Professional interior designers know better than anyone the importance of choosing the right flooring for your kitchen. “The floor is the first surface you physically touch, so the right choice of flooring will accentuate and accentuate the emotional impact you're trying to create in the space,” says Arthur's, a multidisciplinary design studio. Designer Nick He Spain says: “You have to step into the space before you can actually experience it, and the first thing you feel is how your feet feel against the floor. Is it hard, soft, raised, smooth? They can be fluffy, fuzzy, squishy, quiet, or noisy. All of these sensations can create vastly different first impressions in a matter of seconds.”
For designer Leah Ring, founder of multidisciplinary design firm Another Human, the kitchen floor is an element that helps express the style of the space. “We often look for kitchen flooring options that can inject more color into a space. We usually look for tile or linoleum because they come in a wide range of fun, rich colors and both materials are durable. I choose,” Ring says.
