What do you have on your kitchen floor??

Optimisticpair

We have a Victorian cottage with a later extension on the side so we bought reclaimed Victorian 'red' quarry tiles and made a pattern with yellow ones. It doesn't matter which way you look the pattern is on a diagonal and makes the space seem bigger. The main practical reason is that the kitchen door leads onto the garden and is used as our "front" door, they are non-slip, hardwearing and don't show up every mark. The cost worked out the same as buying new.

We have lino and I think it looks alright. Wasn't particularly cheap though..

Very nice, but the oven glove and tea-towel looks a bit Hilda Ogden though, dear.:D

We've got natural stone travertine tiles; we got them from one of those big discount tile warehouses and they were around £18 per square metre - not bad!
Once they're properly sealed they're very easy to clean etc. and look really good.

We've got natural stone slabs,we had them dressed and then cut into three different sizes so that they could be laid in a random design to look old fashioned to match the kitchen.
They're a lovely light brown colour and as they're almost an inch thick are realy solid.
They've been in place four years now and I never tire of them and you can drop anything on them and they don't mark or crack.
We got them to last and hopefully they will as they were rather expensive.
