Popular kitchen tiles according to Tileflair customer purchases and enquiries in store, plus popular internet and free tile sample orders, seem to follow a variety of trends.
Using a bolder coloured tile is a popular choice – stimulating bold reds are enquired about which add a splash of colour and personality to the kitchen wall.
Moving away from the safer neutral tones towards a more confident and fun colour that matches your personality can add life and zest to the heart of your home.
Some people prefer blue, yellow or lime green. Bold colour doesn’t need to cover the entire room though – you can add subtle hints on the tiles in a splashback to match other surfaces in the kitchen.
When choosing your tiles, colour is an important factor that will help create the mood and atmosphere in the room, plus it shows your creativity.
Kitchen tiles and bathroom tiles can help you to create the ambience you want. Don’t be afraid to show your true colours! Different colours can determine whether your room is fresh and airy, energising, peaceful or even mysterious and dramatic! Always remember that you can add an accent or a hint of colour as well to complete the look you want.
This brief guide will help steer you in the right direction for choosing the right colour tile…. It’s a big decision!
RED TILES – can be exciting, dangerous, passionate, associated with love, adventure and heat. Too hot some for people, stimulating for others!
BLUE TILES – fresh, airy and cool, associated with summer skies and happiness. There are many shades of blue ranging from bright and energetic to paler shades with tranquil and calming qualities.
PURPLE TILES – depending on the tone, purple can be moody and gothic or the lighter shades closer to lilac can be feminine and sophisticated. Purple evokes creativity, magic and wealth.
STONE EFFECT GREY & BEIGE TILES – neutral and complimentary tones add an air of calm and relaxing feelings with inspiration from the natural world. Texture may also be added through the finish of the tile and additional accents of colour (such as in border tiles) will celebrate the majesty of neutral tones and shades.
GREEN TILES – depending on the shade, bright greens are invigorating and associated with freshness and new life, whilst paler greens can be relaxing and peaceful. Green dominates the natural world and breathes new life into your room with an uplifting sensation.
BROWN TILES – a very grounded and stable colour associated with security, dependability and feelings of trust. Comfortable and cosy browns help relax the body but too much brown can be drab and depressing! Be sure to strike a good balance with other complimentary colours such as blue, gold or orange. Remember that many mosaics will add creativity and colour to your walls.
Kitchen Tiles need to be easy to clean, durable and last for many years to come, plus be attractive of course.
Tiles can introduce style and colour to your kitchen walls and floor. The kitchen is the heart of the home, where a lot of activity takes place on a daily basis so you need to look at what they are made from.
Kitchen tiles can be ceramic or porcelain. Both of which are more than adequate for domestic use in your own home. Glass mosaic tiles are also suitable for use in the kitchen as a decorative border or stylish splashback.
Kitchen wall tiles are usually 100 x 100 mm, but it depends on your own taste. Another popular kitchen wall tile size is rectangular such as 100 x 300 mm, which can be fixed to the wall in a brick pattern. Kitchen floor tiles range from 333 x 333 mm to large format 600 x 300 mm, but there are many different sizes available.
