Make your home look bigger!
Installing tiles in your kitchen isn’t that trendy anymore and it gives your home a “choppy” look making your home look smaller. If you already have hardwood or vinyl plank in your living room and hallway, installing it in your kitchen will give it a seamless looking, making your home run for miles.

Consider rolling out a small rug.
Vinyl plank flooring looks beautiful, but it may not be the best surface to stand on for long periods of time. Just like with tile flooring, I would suggest laying down a padded mat near the kitchen stink to help put less stress on yourself while cooking and cleaning dishes.
Vinyl plank flooring is less expensive!
Installing vinyl plank flooring in your kitchen is actually less expensive than tile flooring. Don’t be fooled when going to the store and seeing that tile flooring has a cheaper price. This is the cost for the materials only and not the labor. The labor costs to install tile flooring is much more expensive that vinyl plank flooring, and this definitely adds to the cost.
Your floors will be warmer.
Tile flooring draws heat away and actually makes your floors feel colder, especially in the winter. Tile plank flooring will be warmer on your feet and will make a big difference, especially if you spend a lot of time in the kitchen.
