VinylIt used to be that vinyl's main advantage was price — it wasn't exactly considered chic. But that's changed: Nowadays this material comes in a sophisticated range of designs and finishes. It's available in sheets or tiles that mimic stone, wood, ceramic tile and more, embossed with textures that look and feel surprisingly realistic. Pros: One of the most inexpensive flooring options on the market, vinyl can approximate the look of pricier materials at a fraction of the cost. It's a snap to clean, easy to patch if a spot gets damaged, and comfortable underfoot. Plus, you can usually install it on your own, which eliminates the expense of hiring a pro. Cons: Vinyl can dent, bubble or curl over time. Sharp objects may tear it, and grit and dirt can scratch and dull its finish. It also can fade in strong sunlight. Compared with other flooring materials, its life span is shorter (it will begin to show wear after five years or so).Cost: About $1 to $5 per square foot, uninstalled.

Take an artistic approach. This kitchen also belongs to an artist, this time from the Netherlands. "It's a very poetic approach to a contemporary kitchen and very much focused on the client's artistic sensibility," Hanl says. "The mango-colored island with a water-driplike textured glass counter sits on a 'sea' of white pebble-in-resin tile. The flooring throughout is commercial-grade vinyl in a somewhat shimmering concretelike finish. It's very soft underfoot and easy to maintain."The Italian laminate cabinet fronts are slightly textured and offset by the high-gloss island; the colors are united by an iridescent glass-stick tile backsplash. There's also a "really beautiful zebrawood tabletop that accentuates the bay window and offers a great spot to eat breakfast," she notes. "I also love the special door I had made that leads into the kitchen. It has an overheight stainless steel frame with a magnolia-leaves-in-resin panel."

An island on legs also works well if you’re trying to fit an eating area in a smaller kitchen. Additional furnishings bulk up a space in general, but they'll work if you choose leggy pieces.

The glossy orange island with the light toned wood cabinetry. This works so well with the contemporary, clean lines of the design. This is very design oriented.
