Pavements ceramic or porcelain stoneware they are the most popular in the kitchen. They are, therefore, due to their aesthetic and practical qualities; They offer great hardness and easy cleaning thanks to their low water absorption capacity. Its advantages are numerous compared to wood in this type of space, but why give it up?
If we have used wood for pave the floors of the house, it can be attractive to create a certain continuity between the rest of the spaces and the kitchen. The solution, then, is not to choose between one material or another, but to combine them, using ceramic in workspaces.
When kitchen and living room converge in the same space, wood is the material chosen to pave the floor more frequently. Thus, in addition to achieving greater aesthetic coherence, we increase the value of the home. It is for many the most sensible option, but is it the only one?
Choosing between one material or another is not the only option; there are alternatives to all or nothing. Combined soils They are increasingly common in kitchens open to the living room for practical reasons. Let's not forget that a living space such as the kitchen, in addition to responding to aesthetic demands, must be projected as a practical workspace.
Which are the more difficult areas from the kitchen? Those most punished and / or that accumulate more dirt? The first one is the area for the stoves; the work zone so to speak. The second, the dining area; the one that welcomes the whole family for lunch or dinner.
In both areas it is very practical to bet on a ceramic floor, cleaner and more resistant to changes in temperature and water. We can pave those areas with porcelain stoneware in plain tones, but also bet on traditional mosaic designs, my favorites!
