Wood or tile floors in my kitchen?

il y a 10 ans

We are remodeling our 20 year old house and are debating about what type of flooring to put in the kitchen? I'm hesitant to put wood floors in since kids will be coming in from the pool.... thoughts?

Wood floors are easier on your body and on your dishes. They can be harder to keep up, but, if you use solid instead of engineered wood it will hold up longer. You might also consider using a tile surface at the doorway but not elsewhere?

I've had both, and prefer tile for the maintenance-free attributes. If you use tile, but sure to select a grout that will not show dirt, and seal it before use. My 10 year old tile looks brand new.

Need advice about less ugly flooring option--French rental apartment

I see your point, It does look ugly :) Since its a rental apartment, do you have the authorization to remove it ? Because unfortunately, you can't put down vinyle over lino, it will not work (and its not because of the uneven floor). You can remove the lino and put another one, less ugly. It can be nice actually :) http://designmag.fr/design-dinterieur/lino-sol.html You are speaking about sticker, its quite cheap, why not trying and see if it fits with an uneven floor ? Although Im not sure that it will look pretty. Last solution, you can paint the lino, it will not last forever but it could be nice. Ask for expert advice to by the appropriate painting pots.

Wall art idea needed

Hello Velvet Ninja You seem concerned with that one wall. I'm not trying to criticize, the space seems new, with quality materials and well-lit, but have you also noticed the other big white walls? and ceiling? Why just the wall with the mirror? You've got a majority of white, a good dose of black, some chrome / stainless steel details and an uninterrupted shiny pale wood floor. It's relatively astonishing that you have a white door and only one white window, but the other window is black? Everything is relativement anonymous, nice, but nothing too ground-breaking. Is this a rental or your own home? Are you sure that just some art on that one wall will make it cozy and beautiful? Have you thought about any window treatments? Store venetien? Rideaux? Store bateaux? Any type of rug under the dining table? A rug called Bolon, made of woven vinyl fibers, easily cleaned ant anti-allergy. Is the mirror not on the axis of the table on purpose? And why a dark wood? It adds to the "window types", a black one, a white one and the wooden mirror one... Some more information would be helpful. good luck, Lynn

Hello genevieve Lepine Personnally, I'm more concerned about the red wall. If it will be treated in white, that's already a great step. The fireplace, staying the way it is doesn't seem too much of an issue. I'm not really too fan of glossy paint, either, especially on fireplaces. Painting over tile takes somewhat of a technical mastery, otherwise any missed movement can cause a scratch. If you have heat coming from the flames, the paint should not budge. Keeping the wood flooring, beige "faux stone" tiles and white walls allows many style choices. Have you looked into the work of Studio McGee? They alway keep the space neutral and add contrasting details. (Of course in my reference images, the fireplaces are white...why not? but perhaps not glossy). I'd replace the recessed lighting fixtures with white ones, as well. good luck, Lynn

Probably no surprise which direction I'd recommend...
But in all honesty, the options in wood flooring nowadays make it a winner all around.

It never goes out of style, is easy to maintain, and is much more forgiving on your back & feet as well as anything dropped on it.

Sure... wood flooring may ding or dent... but tile chips & cracks.
Simple solution is to use a wood flooring that's conducive to high traffic, such as a lightly distressed surface with a GOOD quality polyurethane finish.

We, for example, produce tons of custom options in a wide variety of species, styles, colors, & finishes...
Our Aluminum Oxide polyurethane (which is a proprietary mix) can be chosen in any sheen level and is easy to re-coat at a later date if desired. Very wear & tear friendly as well as water resistant.

As I say REPEATEDLY here on Houzz... the key to making a sound decision in ANY format you choose, is to not let LOW pricing be the determining factor for your final decision. Problem is that it may ALL look the same to the untrained eye... but there is always the "you get what you're willing to pay for" aspect to consider.

Either is a beautiful choice but your lifestyle & taste matters most --- Go for the option you'll be happiest with -- If you love wood and will enjoy it earning history & patina then it's a great fit. If you want the least amount of change over time with the least amount of maintenance, tile may be right for you (just be sure you select something that will not be slippery when wet if your kids are running in from the pool!). The problems that arise with water & wood are usually due to water getting UNDER the wood -- so a floor finished in place with a quality poly & no surface cracks is the best defense.
