Break away from traditional flooring materials and consider floor ideas like carpet tiles or rubber.
Want a twist on traditional kitchen floor ideas? Consider these other options.
Rubber. For contemporary kitchens, rubber floors
are a good option. Choose from sheets or tiles in a wide variety of
colors, textures, and patterns. The soft and springy surface is
comfortable for those who spend hours in front of the stove. Rubber
withstands water and won't burn, and it's easy to clean. DIY
installation is fairly simple. Some floors are made from recycled
rubber; rubber-cork blends are also popular options.
Carpet Tiles. A fun and practical addition to the
kitchen, carpet tiles can create customized rugs to add softness to work
spaces or highlight eating areas. Choose from a variety of colors,
patterns, and styles to produce any look. The backing inhibits mold and
bacteria, and the tiles can be easily removed, rearranged, or replaced.

Concrete. This urban-chic kitchen floor offers the
look of stone at a lower cost. Concrete can be dyed, textured, and
scored to produce virtually any look imaginable. Along with its good
looks, it's easy to clean and water-resistant. Concrete contributes to
air quality, as it inhibits mold, mildew, and odors, and can be finished
with zero-VOC sealers. Because the material absorbs heat, it can cut
energy bills. And concrete floors are the absoluter best choice if you
have pets or children. They can stand up to lots of abuse. You can even use a concrete slab as finished flooring
.
