When I bought my house it had 2 layers of carpet in the kitchen. I replaced it with hardwood because I didn't want to stain the carpet.
Carpet in the kitchen is almost as nasty as fur on your fridge.

IMO the best flooring for kitchens is cork or real linoleum (not vinyl).
Same people install white or cream carpets just before they decide to have kids or a party.
I have never seen a wooden floor in a kitchen, where do you live? May as well use a carpet floor lol
Hey, it's better than carpet.
Though I do get your point, ceramic tile is probably best, but to each their own ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Yeah, but drop a pot on hardwood you might get a scuff or dent, while dropping a pot on tile might crack or shatter the tile.
You make a good point ๐
We happen to have that cheap lick and stick tile stuff. Came with the apartment. ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Mostly I have seen it to have seen it with cheaper floating options and even in the bathrooms to have a seemless consistancy throughout a condo. Never seen it done in a house.
Peacocking.
