Floor tile effect that isn't tiles

[SlimDogMillionaire]

What can I use that won't look naff? High quality lino, and if so which brands are good? Can't have actual tiles.

It's for kitchen and bathroom, want a geometric design, something a bit like this

Amtico (no idea how to spell it) is what most people are using these days. Otherwise you can get plain kink andyse a tile stencil to make 'old fashioned tile' look.

vinyl is fine in a bathroom,though unless the floor is perfectly flat and smooth it needs 4mm ply underlay, or the defects will cause wear points

I'm not convinced it is so good in a kitchen. Chairs leave foot dents, a dropped knife will puncture it, dragging an appliance over it will leave a scar. Maybe OK for a couple of years before it gets too marked.

You can get a special hard version as used in commercial kitchens, it is much more durable and expensive, and usually fitted so it turns up the walls like skirting.

Thanks for the tips. What should I have in the kitchen if not tiles or vinyl? Bare boards are a no go as we have a downstairs neighbour to consider. Obviously not carpet!

Would amico be a better choice for kitchen? It is vinyl? Better quality though?

We have Marmoleum in our kitchen. Lots of colour choices and easy to maintain.

Thanks, I'll look into that
