To get started: how did you solve the kitchen floor in an open plan room? There is parquet in the living room, but I currently have parquet in the kitchen and find it difficult. When we cook, it splashes and gets dirty, and sometimes a knife falls, etc.

Tiles are visually difficult because of the open plan, but would be the most practical. Vinyl flooring? Other tips?

High-quality vinyl everywhere without joints, although I find tiles better except for the disadvantage of the cold feet. If the rest has parquet, I would tile the kitchen.

We have parquet throughout the entire open-plan room, including the kitchen. I wouldn’t want it any other way. Something different in the kitchen area would look very strange, as you wouldn’t know where to make a division. If something drips on the floor, you just have to wipe it up. Parquet requires care. And you have to live with it looking used. If you don’t want that, parquet is the wrong covering for you. You could also lay a suitable rug on the vulnerable spots that you can wash. With things like tomato sauce, though, that also becomes difficult. Tiles in the open-plan room is a no-go for me personally. It’s simply too cold, too hard, too uninviting. But there are different opinions about this and everyone should do what they want. We also have a lot of wood in the house.

I consider parquet (my opinion, not a fact) to be difficult in the kitchen. Tomato sauce, spilled glass of water, or red wine, all well and good, you can wipe all that up.

But what if you fry something in the pan with a lot of oil? That splashes onto the floor and immediately soaks in. At least with parquet that’s only oiled, right?

It’s like grilling on the terrace; there’s also splattering, and it soaks right in.

I haven’t really noticed that fat/oil soaks in immediately. If you re-oil the parquet, it doesn’t soak in immediately either. I also don’t know how visible these stains would be. I’d have to test it on a scrap piece.
