Main benefits of choosing hardwood floors for your kitchen
1. Hardwood flooring is usually has a more accessible price than tile.
When you go to a store and compare the prices for tiles and hardwood floors, you can be misled by the prices. Remember that you still need to add the labor rates to that price. The installation labor for tile is much more expensive than the labor for hardwood. Of course, this depends on which hardwood and which tile you are comparing.

2. Hardwood Floors are more comfortable on your feet:
Comfort is of particular importance when you spend considerable amounts of time in the kitchen, whether it is cooking, entertaining, or both.
Also, tile floors feel colder, especially during the winter. However, wood tends to be warmer, thus producing a cozier feeling and contributing to your health.
3. Hardwood floors can improve your space appreciation:
When you use the same color and surface on different adjacent rooms, it makes the space more cohesive, allowing your eyes to flow from room to room easier, producing the illusion of a wider space.
Plus, hardwood is currently trendy for kitchens. This is why you may have seen them featured on decorations sites and magazines.
4. Hardwood flooring is better in the long-run.

Hardwood can scratch and dent over time. It may need to be refinished every ten years or so. Tiles, on the other hand, can crack, and once they do, there is very little you can do to repair it.
Wood and come to life again when you refinish; they can even look like brand new again. Unlike tile, you can change the color of your hardwood floors when you refinish it.
