How To Make Your Kitchen Special
By Darrin Reservitz
Looking to redo your kitchen flooring? Put aside boring thoughts of linoleum and consider a more unique choice. How about cork and bamboo? Curious? It’s not as strange as you think!

Cork – Not Just for Wine Bottles

Comfort with Each Step

Walking on cork is almost like walking on air, giving you an almost relaxing experience when you walk in your kitchen. Further, cork’s ability to absorb impact means you’ll end up with fewer broken plates if, like me, you occasionally drop one while emptying your dishwasher. (If you have young, accident prone children, this feature will serve you and your wallet well!) However, you don’t need to worry about your cork flooring denting as it always springs back to a flat surface.

A Wide Variety of Colors

Cork flooring doesn’t just come in brown, which is what you might think as a result of a life around cork bulletin boards. Rather, you can get it in a multitude of colors, including red and green.

Green Kitchen Flooring?

Cork is made from tree bark, so no trees are actually destroyed when producing it, meaning one step on your new cork floor is one step toward safeguarding the environment.

Looking for Peace and Quiet?

Cork doesn’t reflect sound as much as other, harder kitchen flooring. This means that it will fight noise pollution in your house, which, if you have kids, is a valuable quality!

Bamboo for Kitchen Flooring?

Another “Green Choice”

Bamboo is actually not tree wood. Rather, it’s a grass. Thus, it’s harvested in only 2 years, rather than in the 50 to 100 years it takes for a tree to mature, limiting its impact on the environment as reforestation occurs quickly.

Nature Will Make Your Kitchen Attractive

Bamboo has the color of really light beer, imparting a gold-like/yellowish glow to your kitchen. This will bring a warm, inviting feel to your kitchen with an exotic accent.However,

the coloring may clash with your existing kitchen colors, so make sure you are comfortable with the color contrast that would bring to your kitchen before purchase. In addition, the often comes in the form of planks with your choice of vertical or horizontal grains, adding a rustic look to your kitchen.

Not Just Beauty

Bamboo might look weak in the wild, leading you to believe it wouldn’t make a durable addition to your kitchen. However, believe it or not, is really stronger than oak. Thus, you don’t have to worry. is strong enough to stand up to the challenge of your family and furniture.

Should You Consider and Cork?

So if you want practical yet unique kitchen flooring, consider cork and bamboo. They each run about $5 per square foot, putting it slightly on the expensive side. But if you don’t mind the extra expense, you could have a unique kitchen you could be proud of.
