The kitchen, as you know, is one of the rooms in which we spend more time, and often at the exact same place, in front of the countertop to cook for example. So, wood on the floor is inappropriate as it tends to sag. Moreover, it doesn’t hold out against humidity contrary to ceramic.

Lastly, you can create a nice backsplash with small format tiles or mosaics. Very trendy!
