"Large-format tiles are a good solution because there are fewer grout lines, and the floor reads as one clean surface."
"Straight lay is often the safest choice for small kitchens, especially when the rest of the design has a lot of details. It keeps the floor from feeling busy,"
"A diagonal layout can work well too. It makes the lines span across the room rather than straight wall-to-wall, which can soften the boxy feel of a small footprint."
"Rectangular tiles can change how the room feels. When they run in the direction of the longer dimension, the space will feel longer and less tight."
Large-format tiles reduce grout lines and create a seamless floor surface that visually expands and brightens small kitchens. Large-format tiles have one side 15 inches or longer. Installing large-format laminate or vinyl in a straight lay aligns tiles with walls and keeps the floor from feeling busy, helping the room appear wider and taller. A diagonal layout spreads lines across the room and can soften a boxy footprint. Rectangular tiles oriented along the room’s longer dimension make the space feel longer and less tight. Painting kitchen floors is risky in high-traffic areas, so select tile pattern and color carefully.
