Looking For Kitchen Tile Ideas?
Whether you are refreshing your kitchen floor or redesigning the entire room, choosing the best floor and Wall Tiles is essential to the success of the project. Choosing both those that are practical and complementing your design can be a difficult choice for you, so here are some tips on what you need to know before making this important decision.
Choosing the right type of tile
There is a vast choice of tiles suitable for kitchen walls and floors. Natural Stone Tiles will look great, but will require more care and can be less hard-wearing, where man-made tiles are the best value for money as well as the easiest care.
There is a vast choice of porcelain and ceramic tiles that offer a vast range of patterns and textures that will help you see the essentials. As long as ceramic tiles can be a cost-effective option, porcelain tiles are made to wear even more tightly, meaning that you can also rely on them for longer and be used on the floor are best suited.
Creating a Feature
Mosaic tiles are often made of glass and are the perfect way to create a feature or add a little extra sparkle to the kitchen. With multicoloured glass mosaics and shiny quartz available in many colors, you can use them to create a truly stunning focal point.
Polished quartz tiles have a glossy finish, so in lighter colors, will brighten up the room, and also aid a small kitchen to feel larger. They are easy to wipe off, making them great to use as a splash too.
Country Kitchen
If you want to give your kitchen a more rustic feel, use wood-effect tiles on the floor. They also make the room appear very warm, having the practical advantages of a tile floor at the same time. Made of porcelain tiles will last for years, possibly decades – much longer than real wood. They will be easy to clean, you should not worry about sprinkling water on them, and those wearing stilettos will not be able to harm them.
Palatial Tiles
If you want to go upmarket, use marble-effect tiles to give you that lovely feeling that you’re coming back on vacation, or going somewhere warm in a grand palace. Again, made in porcelain, but much cheaper than the real thing! So you are the best of both worlds, as well as a kitchen with a huge wow factor.
Choose the Right Design For Your Kitchen
By using different Designer Tiles, colors and finishes, you can create a design that will be timeless and which you will never get tired of. Patterning the floor is a very large practice, and is usually combined with a plain Wall Tiles. Or there are patterns on the wall and plan tiles on the floor. This is up to you.
