The floor covering

Coating mainly appreciated for its ease of maintenance, kitchen tiling has been regaining its former glory for some time now. The models of different shapes, sizes, colors, patterns and renderings (matt, glossy) open up the field of possibilities in terms of decoration. The must-have is all the same to combine two materials for the floor of the kitchen  : tiles and wood, polished concrete and wood, vinyl floor and tiles.

STONE

Its range of colors also makes it easy to adopt regardless of the style of your kitchen. With this black ceramic, interior designer Guillaume Dunan plays with the contrast of lighter materials.

THE FENIX

The mat trend in the kitchen has forced research to innovate. For good reason, this finish is restrictive since it deteriorates quickly, every trace is visible, etc. The revolutionary material? The Fenix ​​with a very soft touch but still robust against daily stains. It adorns the door fronts of this kitchen redesigned by interior designer Miriam Gassmann.

MIRRORS

Generally seen in the bathroom, the mirror is now entering the kitchen. The interior designers of Kast Desing chose it because it brings depth and visually enlarges the space of a small kitchen. A reflective material, the mirror also brings more light into the room.

CORIAN

Corian is a synthetic material designed by the American company DuPont. In addition to its resistance comparable to that of stone, it is appreciated for its malleability in sizes and shapes. The architects of Lagom architectes have combined wood and the Koran for a natural style. The material has also received the “GREEN GUARD Indoor Air Quality Certified”, a label ensuring the reduction of indoor air pollution.

QUARTZ AND WOOD

Quartz has established itself in our kitchens due to its good resistance and ease of maintenance. Its choice of color makes it an ideal element for design enthusiasts.
