Floor Tiles for a Kitchen Refresh
As it is one of the most used and high-trafficked areas in your home, choosing kitchen floor tiles is one of the most important design decisions you can make. With a rich array of colors, styles and finishes to choose from, it’s easier than you think to transform a dated kitchen into an inviting room that draws family and friends together.
Benefits of Ceramic and Porcelain Tile Floors
For a durable and versatile option, you can’t go wrong with ceramic or porcelain tile. These tiles are resilient enough to withstand high-traffic areas, and if you’re prone to the occasional cooking spill, you’ll take comfort in their low-maintenance, easy-to-clean qualities.
Durable and Easy-to-Maintain Luxury Vinyl Flooring
Luxury vinyl kitchen floor tiles are a cost-friendly option that offer the appearance of natural wood and stone with unparalleled durability and easy maintenance. Its waterproof and scratch-resistant qualities make luxury vinyl flooring a great option for the high-trafficked kitchen area. Luxury vinyl flooring is also easy to install, making it great for DIY projects.
Tile Styles to Lay Your Kitchen Foundation
When choosing floor tiles for your kitchen, you want to consider how the floor will complement the rest of the room. A more neutral floor look can ground a statement-making kitchen backsplash, while a bright color or bold pattern will add interest to a simpler kitchen design. Whatever your style, we have floor tiles that will provide a solid foundation.
Go Natural with Wood- and Stone-Look Tile
Wood creates a warm, rustic feel, while marble evokes a classical elegance. Natural materials look great in a kitchen, but if you’re looking for an option that requires less maintenance consider porcelain or ceramic tile made to resemble some of the finest marble and wood. These tiles will provide the look you want but with an easier level of care.
Classic and Classy Checkerboard Tile
A checkerboard pattern is a great way to add some playfulness to your kitchen floors without being obtrusive. A black and white tile checkerboard will give your kitchen a classic vintage look. Use white and patterned tile for a bold design. Or lay neutral colors like beige or stone-look in a checkerboard to add subtle interest to your floors. Shop our wide assortment of square tiles to create a look that is unique to you.
Your kitchen floor tile sets the stage for the rest of the room. Whatever design you’re hoping to achieve in your kitchen, we have a wide array of materials and styles to achieve the perfect floor to ground your kitchen. For more ideas and information visit one of our showrooms.
