[quote=Anonymous]Look online at Lowe's or Home Depot to get a better idea of the costs of each type. Tile--most people like it pretty well, and it is not expensive, particularly in a small area. Costs vary widely by type of tile. It doesn't have to be expensive to look nice. Tile is easy to clean and doesn't get water-damaged. If you are going to be on your feet a lot in a kitchen, get a gel mat to stand on. Slate--more expensive, can flake over time. Linoleum and vinyl--I don't like these. Vinyl just looks cheap and ugly to me. Hardwood--I agree that it would be hard to match your other floors, and it would probably look a little off. Hardwood is not as tough as tile. Laminate/engineered wood--most of this stuff can't take the abuse of being in a kitchen. The previous owners put this in our kitchen shortly before we bought, and it's all dinged up. The layers can come apart if it gets too wet.[/quote]
