The bathroom and kitchen are two of the most important rooms in any house. Without them, you’d be ordering takeout for every meal and using an outhouse! Because these rooms are so essential, you need to put a lot of thought into choosing new flooring for your bathroom and kitchen.
This post will cover a few of the top things to consider for flooring for your bathroom and kitchen.
Durability
In addition to being the most important rooms in a home, the bathroom and kitchen are also two of the most often used rooms. These rooms are the most likely to suffer water damage, due to the presence of plumbing infrastructure. Because they can experience so much wear and tear, your bathroom and kitchen floors need to be incredibly durable.
Hardwood, engineered wood or ceramic tile are probably your best bets in terms of durability. However, these choices are often expensive. For those on a budget, we recommend high-end vinyl, linoleum or even laminate.
Existing design
Unless you’re redoing your entire kitchen or bathroom, you’ll need to take their existing design into consideration when choosing new floors. Picking a flooring color or style that doesn’t match the existing cabinetry or countertops can lead to an interior designer’s nightmare.

Maintenance demands
Keeping your kitchen and bathroom floors clean is a must. It can also be a challenge, because both rooms are so prone to messes. Vinyl, linoleum or engineered hardwood floors don’t require much maintenance besides sweeping and occasionally mopping. If you want stone floors, go for multi-color slate or granite to hide imperfections in the floor.
Adaptability
Whether it’s a new coat of paint or some more expensive updates, you may want to renovate your bathroom or kitchen in the future. For that reason, it’s always a good idea to consider a neutral hue for your floors. Neutral tones like gray, beige, taupe or ivory will go with nearly any renovation you can think of, so your room will always look fantastic.
Budget
One of the most important things to consider for flooring is how much you’re able to spend. Vinyl is one of the top choices for those on a budget because it can mimic the look of other materials like hardwood, tile or stone. Another choice if you want the look of hardwood is bamboo, which is only a fraction of the cost of hardwood and requires very little maintenance.
