While most homeowners tend to concentrate their efforts on getting the perfect taps or sink, one design expert has argued that, when it comes to kitchen design, the issue of flooring shouldnt be overlooked. With growing numbers of people now looking to improve their existing properties rather than make a move in an uncertain market, many are opting to spend significant sums on their kitchen. However, according to Denver-based interior designer Melissa Brunk, forward planning rather than a large budget, is the key to achieving the dream kitchen design. Writing for the Denver Examiner, she advises homeowners to first of all come up with a definite image of what they want their kitchen to look like, adding that it is often a good idea to have the design complement other areas of the house. Whats more, when it comes to flooring, its crucial to match wood type to kitchen cabinets, while the current trend of opting for a bamboo floor is an excellent selection for modern homes since it is the new look and very green. You can have that designer kitchen floor you want, no matter your budget, Ms Brunk concludes. Just be smart and do your homework and you will be happy with your outcome.Bamboo flooring is made by steaming, drying, flattening and then gluing several strips of the material together.
