One of the easiest ways to upgrade your home is by improving flooring. And, as any realtor worth their salt will attest, one of the best returns on home improvement investments is anything related to the kitchen. In this blog post, we examine various options available to homeowners who want to improve the value and appearance of their homes by upgrading their floors.
Flooring
Hardwood
Durable hardwoods add value to your home. If you don’t mind paying a premium, opt for this option, which features striking natural colors and richly-detailed grain patterns. Another benefit in hardwood is the neutrality offered by timeless design. From tropical to traditional, minimalistic modern to wide-plank shabby chic, if you install for one style today, hardwoods are versatile enough to work even when trends change down the road.
Luxury Vinyl
Once an oxymoron, this type of flooring helps homeowners achieve a high-end look without the associated price tag. Many collections capture the realism of beautiful, natural stone and ceramic, while providing a soft surface that’s easy on the feet. Luxury vinyl plank also subs for real hardwood, as it comes in a variety of colors and textures – all of which are waterproof.Vinyl sheet – Innovative print technology enables vinyl makers to capture the look of other more expensive surfaces such as stone and hardwood. These products are not only less expensive than their authentic counterparts but afford high durability and superior stain protection.
Laminate 
A far cry from sparkly versions made popular in the 1970s, attractive, low-maintenance laminate is durable and versatile. Laminate options today are also highly durable, offering the look of real wood and stone at a fraction of the cost.
Vinyl Tile
Easy to install vinyl tiles come in wide variety of patterns and styles. Featuring a long-lasting finish that resists scratches and scuffs, as well as a protective layer that guards against rips, tears and gouging, this option is good for do-it-yourselfers who don’t mind the extra effort required to keep moisture from settling in cracks.
Carpet
Okay, so carpeting kitchens are bathrooms is questionable. But myriad modern options exist for throw rugs, which are a wonderful way to warm a space while making sure it remains functional as well as stain resistant.
