Kitchen remodeling is one of the most fun and exciting home renovations to complete because families tend to spend a lot of time in this part of the house. Busy families that have kids, love to entertain over a meal, or have friends over for a cup of coffee and a chat, see their kitchens getting frequent use. With so much traffic the kitchen floors can suffer a lot of wear, tear, and damage. However, there are many creative flooring options that will also stand the test of time that you should explore when pondering your next kitchen renovation ideas. 

  • Marble Flooring- If you want flooring that is guaranteed to last, marble is the way to go. Although this flooring is one of the more expensive options, the high-quality material looks exquisite, is ultra-durable, and super easy to clean. There are also many different variations and colors that can make your kitchen floors really stand out!
  • Terracotta- If you’re looking for stone flooring but cannot afford to have marble installed, terracotta is a wonderful choice that is also warmer and more inviting than marble. Terracotta is durable, and fits in well with nearly all home styles from rustic to modern. 
  • Hardwood Laid in Patterns- You don’t have to lay flooring in straight lines. Some of the best kitchen renovation ideas we have seen come from designs that arrange wood planks in attractive designs. A herringbone style is one of the most popular and easy to install patterns. 
  • Large Sized Tiles- 12 inch stone tiles are on their way out and larger tiles with minimal grout lines are being preferred. Large-sized tiles look best when they are more neutral in color. Matte finishes will also create warmth in the room. 
  • Patterned Tile: One of the trendiest kitchen renovations ideas is to pair all white kitchens with patterned tile to add pops of color and personality to the room. Patterned tiles have been traditionally used in backsplashes, but there are lots of ways to use patterned tiles, or create a pattern with tiles, that can greatly enhance the look of your kitchen. 

Creating your dream kitchen with creative flooring options is something that can be achieved easily, and even on a budget. Replacing flooring often requires the removal of appliances, so if your budget allows, go ahead and upgrade your stove, fridge, and dishwasher during the renovation too!
