I was thinking about putting natural stone tile on my kitchen floor. Is this a good choice?
Natural stone tile is fashionable and gives a room a stylish look in Avila Beach, California. You might consider combining it with carpet - a newly fashionable approach. Put the tile where the floor is likely to get wet and the carpet where warmth and comfort are desired.
Is wood laminate flooring a good choice?
Wood laminate is increasingly popular because it looks like wood, but cleans up like vinyl. It's not as inexpensive as it once was, but it doesn't cost nearly as much as hardwood. On the other hand, it doesn't last like hardwood and when it wears out, it can't be refinished.
