If you are planning a new look for your old kitchen then the best and easiest thing you can change is the floor. It's a simple project that can make a world of difference on the overall looks of a drab and dreary kitchen. Plus you can easily change it back and with all the options available today, all you have to do is make up your mind with whichever you think goes great with your kitchen.
Usually, if you've decided to put a new floor, it can be placed over your old kitchen floor as long as the old floor is in an acceptable condition. The problem with this is if your kitchen is adjacent to another room, the kitchen's floor would appear higher than the other rooms. If that's the case, you can just go with removing the old floor altogether.
If you're thinking of vinyl for your kitchen, the best thing to do is buy it in sheets. Make sure that the adhesive that you are going to use it with is the one recommended by the manufacturers of the vinyl. This would ensure optimum results when you're putting them down. Try laying down the sheets first using a template made of paper or cardboard. Plan it all out before you start sticking the sheets on the floor.
Another great floor idea for a modern kitchen is polished concrete. It's easier to install and it's cheaper to maintain. It looks great too. It's more durable than marble and less cheap than granite and stone floors. Plus it can come in a million different colors just by adding a few pigments to the cement mixture. - 15252
