Of course, if you aren’t going to replace your floor, you can skip this step. However, if you do want a change, you have a wide variety of options to choose from. There are many different types of flooring available today. If you love the look of ceramic, but don’t want the additional expense or work, you can find vinyl tile that looks almost identical to ceramic. Many of these vinyl tiles are peel and stick. You simply decide how you want to lay them, cut them to size, and peel off the backing. Most of these can also be placed down on existing flooring, which saves you even more time and work! Be sure and take your paint chips along with you when choosing a floor in order to coordinate your colors.
Hardwood flooring is also beautiful, but it can be quite expensive. However, there are many laminate wood floors available at a fraction of the cost, and most of these are very durable, as well as attractive. Many of these also feature peel and stick backing. You should be able to find beautiful flooring that is affordable, too.
Choose Your Backsplash
You can also customize your Tuscan kitchen by adding a tile backsplash. The size of your backsplash is really up to your preference, your budget, and the area you will need to cover. You can buy mostly inexpensive pieces that echo the warm colors you’ve already chosen for your paint, rugs, curtains, flooring, etc. If you want a little added personality, you might invest in a few hand painted pieces to intersperse among the other tiles. Because you may have places on your wall that call for smaller pieces, why not buy a few coordinating or contrasting small pieces of tile? This will eliminate a need for a ceramic tile saw.
