Cooking in style: top flooring choices for your kitchen
The kitchen is the heart of your home, a place for cooking, socialising, and making memories. But with all that activity, your kitchen floor endures a lot of traffic and needs to handle daily wear and tear while still looking great. Here’s what to consider when choosing the perfect kitchen flooring.
Durability that stands up to everyday life
Your kitchen floor goes through a lot, from constant foot traffic to spills and scratches. That’s why it’s important to choose a hard-wearing, easy-to-maintain option.
Our Mineral Core Boards are designed for heavy use, featuring an extremely durable TEKTANIUM® surface protection that resists scratches and stains while being effortless to clean. Whether you prefer the natural warmth of StellarCraft or the timeless elegance of StellarElements, both offer a long-lasting, practical flooring solution for busy kitchens.
Choose a waterproof floor for the easiest maintenance
Because Mineral Core Boards are waterproof and watertight, they are very easy to live with and require far less upkeep than a real wood floor, especially when it comes to the kitchen. Both StellarCraft and StellarElements also feature enhanced R10* slip resistance, which is particularly useful for cooking spaces where errant oil spills and water splashes are a regular occurrence.
No matter which style you choose, wood or stone design, the maintenance of mineral core board is super simple, a quick wet mop is enough. Check out our care and maintenance guide for extra cleaning tips.
*R10 refers to a flooring’s slip resistance rating, meaning it provides moderate grip and is safe for residential use, including kitchens and bathrooms.
Kitchen style meets function
Floors contribute a lot to the overall impression of the room, so choose a kitchen floor that suits the style you want.
Our StellarCraft wood-effect floors feature a wide range of beautiful designs, whether you like dark woods with deep rustic knots (such as our Oiled Super Oak planks) or elegant and bright light wood designs (like Malbork Oak Spring).
Meanwhile, the StellarElements collection features a huge range of elegant stone designs, from creamy tones and sandblasted finish of Marfil Marble to the fine-grain texturing and unique wave patterning of Maris Granite, and the deep grey, decorative movement of our Halo Dark design.
With durable, waterproof, and stylish options, finding the perfect kitchen floor has never been easier.
Pro tip – look to your kitchen cabinets for inspiration
If your kitchen has coloured cabinets, consider choosing a neutral wood or stone-effect floor to create balance. A light oak or lightly coloured stone offers a soft contrast; options like Parkway Oak in Merino or Natural, as well as Maris or Ceppo stone designs, work well. If you're aiming for a more contemporary feel, a warm grey stone could be the way to go - check out our Tonale Grey or Halo Dark designs.
For kitchens with wooden cupboards, selecting a floor in a slightly darker or lighter wood tone can add depth. Opting for a stone-effect floor will also keep your spaces fresh and timeless.
For more rustic-style kitchens, embrace textured wood designs with a natural grain to create a cosier atmosphere. Our Super Oak design in Smoked or Rustic would make a great choice.
