Trendy v classic -- large tiles on floors
Comments (15)I agree with pbrisjar. If you want hardwood get it. I just went through this myself. I am going to continue the hardwood from the rest of my house into the new kitchen, and only do a small section of tile by the back door. II would suggest a nail down solid wood if you can, and finished on site. The prefinished is super easy to lay down, but overall an on-site finsih is so much more beautiful. Also, hardwood will really add to the value of your home- more than tile. Hardwood is also one of those "trendy and classic" at the same time materials. Another thought- it is much easier to stand on as it is much softer than tile....See MoreWindow Coverings - what's trendy? what's classic?

Comments (2)Any vinyl flooring directly applied to a basement concrete floor is a questionable idea, according to building scientists--no matter how much pooh poohed by your neighbourhood building supply outlet. That's because, unless the underside of the slab is insulated, there will be a constant moisture drive upwards though the concrete. With nine dogs running around, I would think durability would be more important than style. I've seen too many scratched-up floors from dog claws to think wood flooring would be a good choice. FWIW, I think the vinyl planking on an appropriate subfloor would be a stylish choice for a great-looking cabin....See MoreWood look tile, budding classic or trendy dater?
Comments (4)IMHO, since the tiles very closely resemble real hardwoods, I think they are here to stay Oh like faux finishing? (Was big in the 80's) Faux brick flooring? (Was big in the 60's) Mirrored walls? (The 80's) Wood paneled walls? (The 60's) Remember the white formica kitchen cabinets with the wood strip? Macrame hangers?
