Whether you are purchasing an existing home, remodeling your current residence, or in the process of constructing a new place to live, examining flooring options (either existing or soon to be) is an important step in the process. As one of the most important components of any property, the age, style, type, color, connectivity, and upkeep are all critical parts of understanding exactly which option is best for you and your family.
With so many home flooring ideas and options to choose from, finding an exact pick can be tricky - especially in open concept floor plans. The rise of this design style has led to some questionable transitions when it comes to flooring, as some prefer hardwoods but not in kitchens or bathrooms - making choosing two different materials hard to coincide with the freestyle flow of an open home. Fortunately, there is at least one material which serves its purpose throughout any area of a property - wood look tile.
Kitchen
There are definitely risks associated with installing natural hardwood floors in kitchens with water exposure and damage ranking at the top. In addition, the possibility of wearing out certain areas (i.e. front of sink, stove, around a bar or island) due to repeated use could also cause the natural stain to discolor leaving an unsightly finish. One way to avoid these concerns is to install wood look tile which is both resistant to water and extremely resilient.
Bathroom
Another area with maybe even more concern is the bathroom. While many homeowners may elect to utilize a completely different flooring option here - wood look tile can be just as beneficial. Even though these areas of a home will be isolated from other places, installing the same materials throughout a property can really help to magnify the flow and design style of a residence.
Living Room
In open concept homes, typically the kitchen moves into a dining area and living space. If hardwoods aren’t installed throughout, then flooring materials often break up each area into its own separate room. Defeating the open concept, even in the absence of walls, wood look tile allows for all of these spaces to coincide together under one roof.
Bedroom
Similar to bathrooms, in that these spaces are likely isolated from other common areas in a floorplan, the utilization of wood look tile works just the same. Continuing the same flow and feel designed throughout the remainder of a home, extending this use into the bedrooms creates a sense of connectivity to other areas and between each separate bedroom itself.
