4. Floor Cloths
We know what you’re thinking: “Why have I never heard of floor cloths before?” It’s a good question since this is an old method of beautifying ugly floors. In 18th-Century England, this was how most people covered their kitchens. While this option is definitely cheaper than re-tiling, which your landlord may not allow you to do, there is a sizeable cost here: $1,000 to $2,000 to cover just one small kitchen. For many, however, these canvas floor cloths are well worth the price.
