Let’s start with the best kitchen flooring. Drum roll please. The best kitchen flooring material is ceramic and porcelain tile. It’s low-maintenance, water-resistant, stain-resistant, scratch-resistant, durable, and is available in almost any color and pattern.
It’s also priced in the middle range. If you have a large or endless budget, you may want to consider a solid stone tile such as marble, granite, or quartz. If you’re budget conscious, vinyl tile will provide a similar look and feel to ceramic tile at a fraction of the cost.
The best kitchen cabinets are built with hardwood. You can paint them, stain them, or even leave the natural wood untouched with the exception of a clear. wood sealer. The most popular wood choices are oak, hickory, pine, cherry and maple. You can choose from stock kitchen cabinets, semi-custom kitchen cabinets, and custom kitchen cabinets. Stock kitchen cabinets are typically used for kitchen remodeling if the budget is tight. Semi-custom kitchen cabinets are used if the budget is larger but not unlimited. Custom kitchen cabinets are used if money is not an objective.
Last but certainly not least, the best countertops for your kitchen remodel is natural stone. It’s resistant to cuts, scratches, stains, cracks, moisture and heat to name a few. There are a few options when it comes to natural stone kitchen countertops such as granite, soapstone and marble, however the best choice is quartz. If your kitchen remodeling budget doesn’t allow for natural stone, solid surface countertops, or porcelain tile countertops are a good choice. Although laminate countertops are on the lower end of the scale, and are typically regarded as an ordinary choice, they have seen a surge in popularity in recent years based on the numerous patterns, styles, and colors that are available.
