The looks & style
When it comes to making this tough decision between tile and hardwood floors, a lot of the time the looks are the deciding factor. Each option can present a solid case with a variety of reasons why one or the other, but ultimately you should select the type of floor according to your future decorating plans.
Maintenance & repairs
Tile floors, in general, can outlast wood floors. However, they are both resistant, require minimum maintenance, and repairs are rarely needed. In the long run, wood floors would require some sort of work done, especially if they are laid in a high-traffic area like the kitchen or stairs. On the other hand, tile can sometimes be a little more painful to replace if one of the tiles breaks.
Durability
The advantage of both floors is that, with the right maintenance and care, both types of floor can last decades without the need to replace or do heavy repairs. If you are looking for an outlasting material to install on your floors, whichever one of these options you pick, would be the right choice. If this is the one thing that’s stopping you from making the right choice, follow your design ideas and use the floor that matches those ideas the most.
Uses of the room
One thing is certain, you don’t have to go full tiles or full hardwood floors. You can start mixing different materials for your floors, depending on the use of the room. For example, if you want to keep your kitchen cleaner and avoid wear on the floor, tiles would be a great option. However, if you have a room like an office or a study room and you want to elevate the space, a rustic hardwood floor could make the space look more like a homey place so you can feel comfortable in it.
