[quote=Anonymous]We've hard hardwoods in all out kitchens over the last 10 years (3 different houses!) and much prefer it to tile. Visually and for walking on. I guess tile is easier to clean? But conversely, dirt shows on tile floors so much more. You have to clean it right away or it looks gross. The most important factor to be is the aesthetics. Most kitchens are open concept or semi-open concept these days, and it looks terrible - like seriously terrible - to have a sectioned-off corner of your main floor that has tile abutting all the rest of the hardwood. Basically is the household equivalent of wearing horizontal stripes. If the kitchen is standalone, I think tile is okay (but don't love). If it's open concept, please don't tile. Or if you tile, use wood-look tile that are a thematic match with the hardwoods on the rest of your main floor. they don't have to be an exact match, but should be same color family. [/quote]
