Is it possible to have ceramic tiles and hardwood floor in the kitchen?

Yes, you can have both of them and if you combine with style they can look extraordinary. In addition to this the kitchen will gain a totally special charm, the hardwood floor is a warm and pleasant material which makes any space seem like home. And because the kitchen is the soul of the house and the most used of all the house’s rooms, a kitchen with ceramic tiles and hardwood floor is the ideal solution.

Hardwood floor with rustic texture

Do you want hardwood floor in the kitchen but you are afraid of humidity, water and of the risk that it may get stained? Try a bold method to differentiate the work areas and to combine the ceramic tiles and the hardwood floor.

Near the worktop and the kitchen stove you can choose two rows of ceramic tiles and in the central area and near the table you can apply hardwood floor.

To make the connection between the hardwood floor and the ceramic tiles you can apply a metal line like the one that is used as doorstep.

This line is fixed in concrete with clamps to give resistance to the assembling and to avoid creating oscillations between the hardwood floor and the ceramic tiles during time.

The lines that separate the hardwood floor from the ceramic tiles should be chose according to the material of the already existing hardware in the room and the colour of it: silver, stainless steel, gold, platinized metals or antique metals, crude iron.

If the kitchen is in a shade of natural wood or stone and you are not conditioned by the hardware material, you should choose the lines also in natural shades.

You can match them to the colour of the ceramic tiles or to the hardwood floor.

Choose from the onset a hardwood floor that is waterproof and resistant to the moisture. There exist such solutions.

Additionally, choose a layered hardwood floor that resists to traffic and which can withstand easily repeated cleanings.

Obviously since we are talking about hardwood floor, even if it is a durable one, it must be carefully maintained because the secret lies in its appearance which must be impeccable.

If you choose this combination of ceramic tiles and hardwood floor, you should choose a hardwood floor to fill the kitchen space and also to contrast with the ceramic tiles. In addition, a dark colour of the hardwood floor will increase its resistance to “aggressions” from the “hostile” environment of the kitchen, but also it will give a touch of elegance to the area which will become a proper room, not just the kitchen.

Do not cover the kitchen floor and if you still feel the need to do this try to use small carpets as rugs that can be easily washed, changed or lift it anytime it is necessary.

The last thing that you need to consider is what type of hardwood floor you will choose.

A solid oak hardwood floor for example is suitable in a traditional kitchen and can be integrated with the hallway and the living room. This will create the impression of a uniform and airy space.

The house where black prevails

In a classic kitchen, a laminated hardwood floor which mimics the natural wood is a good choice. Made of several compressed fiber boards covered by photographic image of wood and a protective layer, this one is easier to maintain and it is looking the same as the hardwood hardwood floor.

Hardwood floor and ceramic tiles in the kitchen

The hardwood floor from processed wood lasts longer over time and it is affected by the moisture in the kitchen which is created by the steam. With this type of hardwood floor in the kitchen, you can use two colours of wood which leads to a visual effect of enlargement of the kitchen. A solution for the kitchen hardwood floor is the one that mimics the antique pine wood and which is suitable for an open kitchen. For a modern and elegant kitchen, the hardwood floor of the beech wood with a light colour represents always an inspired choice.
