Dining Areas & Eat-In Kitchens

Bon Appetite! Dining Areas & Eat-In Kitchens

The dining area is where we grab a quick bite and sit down together to catch up and share the news of the day. Whether used for everyday family meals, formal dining, or special occasions, dining areas and eat-in kitchens get tremendous traffic.

By virtue of its name, a dining area’s floor has to withstand dropped food and spilled drinks, as well as the movement of chairs across its surface.

If you hold dinner parties, it is nice to have a dining area that looks good with soft intimate lighting, as well as the bright light of day. Open concept plans, where the living, cooking, and dining areas come together as one master space, require forethought about whether or not the space will have one unified floor or harmonious individual floors that delineate functions.

Both fashionable and functional, Luxury vinyl flooring offers almost unlimited style, size, and color combinations. You can find contemporary colors, shimmering “stardust” and pearlized finishes distressed woods, colored concretes, fossilized stone, metallics, and exotic woods. And, that is only the beginning! There are all types of embellishments in design-centered collections, including borders, motifs, and sizes and formats that encourage custom concepts like herringbone weaves! ■
