The kitchen is often considered the heart of a home and the place where family comes together making it an important space to feel comfortable. Whether considering a renovation or just a refresh, the right tile can transform this essential room into a functional and stylish area that reflects your personal taste. We have outlined a few trends to consider below.
Bold Colours and Patterns
Neutral palettes have been popular for their ability to match any interior changes, but bold colours and patterns have been making a statement this year. Rich greens, deep blues, vibrant colour palettes are being embraced as kitchen accents. Geometric and floral designs can add character and visual interest to floors, backsplashes, or even a statement wall.
Large Format Tiles
These tiles continue to gain popularity due to their sleek and modern appearance. Ideal for both walls and floors, they can provide a more spacious feel, especially in smaller rooms. Creating a seamless look with fewer grout lines also makes them easier to clean and maintain. A wide variety of finishes and textures allows for versatility in your design choices.
Natural Stone
Natural materials are always a popular choice for their luxurious feel and the uniqueness of their appearance. Marble, slate, and limestone tiles add an organic touch to kitchen spaces. The beautiful veining and natural textures bring depth and character, making every space one-of-a-kind. Combining these elements with wooden elements such as countertops of wood effect tiles can create a warm and inviting atmosphere.
Subway Tiles
Traditional white subway tiles remain popular with people for their clean, sleek appearance, but they are being reimagined in new colours, shapes, and sizes. Staggered layouts and herringbone patterns are breaking away from the classic grid look, while bold colours like deep azure blue allow for a fresh take on a timeless design.
Add dimension and interest to a space by using raised patterns or undulating surfaces. 3D patterns can create a stunning visual effect with their ability to reflect light and enhance overall ambiance. A textured backsplash or feature wall behind a table can create a central point to a kitchen and draw the eye, making a bold statement.
Matte Finishes
Glossy kitchens have always been popular for their ability to look polished and clean, but they do require a lot of cleaning! Matte finishes are gaining popularity for the sophisticated and contemporary look. They are also less prone to show fingerprints and smudges which makes them a more practical choice for busy kitchen. Their understated elegance can compliment many design styles and makes them a perfect choice to mix with other visual elements.
Mix and Match
Can’t decide on just one style of design? That’s ok too! Combining various colours, pattens, and textures can result in a visually stunning space that reflects your personality.
