If we are talking about any other room except the kitchen, there are usually no issues with flooring.

According to the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, designer Yulia Tychino , the most common floor covering for a bathroom is tile, while linoleum or laminate is used in a bedroom or living room.

But what to do with the kitchen?

Let us tell you what you definitely shouldn't do here, thereby making your choice task easier.

So, laminate that belongs to a low wear resistance class is not suitable for a "food block". And vice versa, it is allowed to use a coating with marks 33 and 34.

Natural wood also made it onto the list of unsuccessful options. The reason is that such material is very difficult to maintain. But even if you manage to cope with the difficulties, the coating will swell due to constant water ingress.

But tiles can rightfully be called what is needed, because they have such qualities as durability, practicality and versatility.

True, there is one downside - if you accidentally drop a cup or plate on the tile, you will most likely have to say goodbye to the dishes.
