By: General Flooring Canada

If you’re wanting to remodel your kitchen floors but don’t know what aesthetic to go for, we got you covered.

Below we highlight 22 must-see kitchen floor ideas and looks trending today.

Let’s get right into it!

1. Opt For A More Contemporary Look

When we are thinking of dark floors, we usually think of something that would close up the space and make it smaller.

This is not always the case. In some cases, it can achieve the opposite effect.

If you know how to blend some other shades into the scene too, then you might end up with a result you are going to love.

The kitchen space can feel contemporary and unique, but most of all sophisticated.

You can incorporate some white and textured design so you can make your kitchen look open, spacious, and airy, if you want to add a more inviting feeling, add some neutral tones too – they can do just the trick!

2. Look At A Marble Option

Whenever you are looking for a timeless option that can take your breath away, remember that the marble floors can turn your kitchen into a timeless miracle.

You can have some large format tiles or small format tiles – either way, the effect will be grand.

If you want to take things a step further, you should know that these tiles can be incorporated into various kitchen styles.

Depending on the material you have chosen for your countertop, you can either make these two complement each other or contrast each other.

This is an easy way to elevate the design of your kitchen.

You can even use it for a smaller kitchen, the effect would be the same.

3. Think About Adding A Rug

Most people do not associate rugs with kitchen space, but in this case, we advise you to think outside the box.

If you start looking into some design ideas, you will notice that there are plenty of patterns and colours for you to go through until you choose the one that is most up to your liking.

If you are planning for an open-concept kitchen space, then you might need something to tone things down.

One of the ways you can do this is by adding an interesting rug that will give a bit of an inviting feeling to the space.

Adding some character and colour to a room never hurt anybody!

4. White Flooring For A Dreamy Look

If making the space feel bigger and brighter is one of the key aspects, then you should look into the option of having the floor white.

This is an ideal colour for all those who enjoy a smaller kitchen space.

This is one of the ways for you to prepare a calming, clean, and airy space in a high-traffic room such as the kitchen.

You can easily complement it with a white kitchen countertop and white elements for a completely pure look.

Or go the other direction and add a deep shade of a calming colour so you can add depth to the space as well.

5. Terracotta For A Traditional Tone

If you’re looking for a warm and textured feeling, incorporate terracotta into your kitchen floor.

This is one of the materials from the past that are still deeply appreciated today.

They can be perfectly incorporated into a modern and a traditional kitchen too.

People tend to go for this option because it is not only a visually pleasing look but a durable option as well.

They are also great for creating some wonderful country kitchen styles.

6. Invest In Some Real Wood

There is a certain kind of warmth that comes with the installation of wooden floors in your kitchen space.

It is often recommended to install a wood kitchen floor due to numerous reasons, one of them being that the area is always filled with people.

It is a sturdy solution and you can always wipe it clean within seconds after a dirty disaster.

Also, wood exudes timeless beauty, especially when it is combined with some wonderful wooden countertops or shelves too.

The only thing you need to keep in mind is that the wood can be easily scratched and damaged.

So, if you find yourself to be a cautious person, then this is the solution for you.

7. Herringbone Wood Kitchen Look

Taking this a step further, we are coming to the herringbone wood kitchen look.

This has always been a popular style, especially when it comes to dining rooms, living rooms, and even bedrooms, but somehow it has been avoided when it comes to the kitchen.

We are here to tell you that you should embrace this option with your arms wide open!

Just think about it – there is so much to consider in terms of the wooden flooring option, that we are only scratching the surface with this one (not literally of course!).

You can choose a delicate parquet if you like to give your floor that extra feeling of warmth.

All you need to know is how to properly maintain the floor and avoid any humidity from making it damaged.

8. Real Wood Is The Way To Go

When you are opting for a warm and welcoming look, real wood is an excellent way to go.

The catch here is in the maintenance bit.

You need to know that careful treatment and maintenance are the only ways to preserve wood so that it’ll last for many years.

Without maintenance, it will damage, scratch, and become less resistant to water.

But, if you are looking to create an open-scheme kitchen where there is a lot of space and plenty of space for visual manipulation, then this is the perfect option for you.

9. Combination Of A Floor With The Cabinets

There have been many people who have designed kitchens in the world, and there is no better way to describe the experience other than by making different elements complement each other.

It only makes sense that the cabinets are the first item to be chosen, however, the flooring should be the next item.

If you don’t feel like hiring a professional, then this is something you should have in mind.

Bring a sample of the cabinets when you are choosing the flooring and see which shade will turn out to be the best pick.

Take it from there and enjoy the results!

10. Laminate Or Vinyl For A Wonderful And Practical Solution

The installation process is so easy, you can even do it yourself.

It is a perfect alternative that is considered a sustainable one!

11. A Wood-Effect Porcelain Tile

The reason why they are so popular is that they are pleasant to the eye, and introduce a sense of movement and character to the space.

In the past, people have avoided using these types of tiles because they give out the look that they are not very good and they are a bad copy of a wooden option.

However, nowadays, they seem like the perfect option!
