what can I do to smarten up my kitchen floor? old lino at the moment

quite a small kitchen, units/oven/fridge/dishwasher down both sides
I don't realy want to pull the whole kitchen out to do the floor
was thinking of self-adhesive tiles, could lift one leg up at a time on all the units etc, but are they just a bit crap?

click-together laminate possibly in the same manner, could I just go straight over the old lino, using it as the underlay stuff?

obviously I'm not a company director, otherwise it would all be granite imported from Nepal

how about ceramic tiles? you can lay them with the cabinets in place. fairly cheap to do as well.

As long as you have plinths at the bottom of the base units, you only need the flooring to go upto the legs and not under them. Where you have a fridge or washing machine, take them out so you can run new flooring under them or you'll catch the flooring whenever you try and get them out afterwards.
There are a lot of decent looking vinyls and laminates around and if you have a decent sub-floor, as said you could do a ceramic tiled floor.

nothing at the bottom of the units, just shiny chrome legs

maybe i'd be as well putting that panel in, then just moving the other stuff out while I tile around everything else, keeping the worktops in place

Well, you decide what you want on the floor, then figure out how to do it. Anything can be done if you plan.
