Another option for your home is tile flooring. Tile flooring is often used in bathrooms and kitchens, because of its durability and how well it does when faced with lots of daily water splashes and spills. Tile comes in all types of manufactured and natural looks, and many different sizes. Your grout choice can make a big difference in terms of how your tile floor will look long-term. In high-traffic areas, you may want to choose a dark grout color that won't show dirt so easily. Also some grouts have built-in stain resistance which can be very helpful for kitchen areas where food spills are frequent.
