Kitchen/Dining Room - Wooden or Tile Floor

9 years ago

We're getting our kitchen designed along the line of the attached pictures except that out kitchen will be cream/ivory/white. Trying to decide should we put wood flooring or ceramic tiles down. Any suggestions would be helpful. If timber/tiles what color would suit. Thanks

After having removed tile flooring in a gut remodel last year, I say to absolutely, unequivocally do wood :)

Wood can be refinished in the future but tile is permanent unless you want to have it power chiseled up and a fine layer of dust over every single item in your house. Plus, I HATE cleaning grout lines :(

100% Wood. I actually am installing for the second time wood flooring in my kitchen and dining area in fact the whole first floor. I did the second floor in Brazilian Cherry and just love it so much more than the oak that I currently have. However if I had to choose I would choose the oak floors over tile every time. They wear better look so much prettier. And like the previous poster pointed out I hate dirty grout lines.

You could do a look like this if you choose the right linoleum. Be careful or it could look cheap. The black & white pic is probably tile but could be done in linoleum. Second is marmoleum. Get the real linoleum (not shiny)

You mentioned 12mm laminated floor yet you are asking about 'wood'. These are often two different floors. Are you asking about an engineered HARDWOOD that is 12mm thick or are you talking about a 12mm LAMINATED floor (fibre board with a pretty picture of wood on the top)? Engineered hardwood works well in a kitchen (just like Oak & Broad points out). Laminated flooring normally DOES NOT do well in a kitchen. That means the answer to your question could be "yes" or "no"....depending on which floor you are talking about. Please clarify.

We will have oak trusses also. I want to have a lot of natural materials inside.

I would go with wood floors. Tile floors can look lovely but wood adds such a warmth to any room. Plus, it would look amazing with your white/ivory kitchen.
