Choosing between bamboo and cork flooring
So we are currently in the process of remodeling the kitchen and are having a debate on what kind of flooring we should use. I personally like bamboo flooring whereas Karla is all for cork flooring. To me, the bamboo style of flooring has a more natural feeling about it and to be honest, it kind of puts me in a relaxed mood. I don’t dislike the cork flooring, it’s just that I don’t like it as much as the bamboo.
Karla on the other hand is a big fan of the cork flooring. Similar to me, she doesn’t have any problem with the other option (in her case bamboo flooring), it’s just that she really likes the cork. So far we’ve only seen pictures online so I guess we’ll probably have to go in and see what the different types actually look like when they are actually in use before we make a decision.
As always, another factor will be the price. We are already breaking the bank by remodeling the kitchen right now, particularly since we just bought the house, but I guess when you are taking on projects like this that improve your home you can’t really waste money by upgrading because it just increases the value of the house overall… that’s my theory and I’m sticking to it, at least as long as we keep spending so much money on ‘home improvement’ 
.
If any of you reading have any tips on which option is better, please post a comment and let me know. We will be doing our research and even plan on setting up a little chart listing all the pros and cons of both bamboo and cork flooring, so feel free to contribute by letting me know anything I might be missing in the comments section here…thanks!
