For all of us, the kitchen is primarily a practical space.
However, it is important that it is also aesthetically pleasing and fits with
the rest of the home, which is why every detail matters and must be chosen
carefully.
In the kitchen, even more than in other rooms of the house,
it is important that all the elements are unified, that they blend perfectly
and create a certain continuity.
When choosing wall tiles for the kitchen, you must take into
account a few essential details. It matters how large the kitchen is, because
depending on the available space, there is an ideal size of tiles and how they
will be mounted. The color is also important, because it must be in line with
the color of the furniture. Space organization can also influence how you
choose the wall tiles, because you will have to consider the size of the large
appliances and kitchen furniture.
Why are floor tiles recommended for the kitchen?
In general, we tend to choose ceramic tiles for the walls in
the kitchen, and this is extremely practical. Wall tiles are by far the best
choice we can make, because they are easy to clean, extremely durable over
time, do not change color and come in a large number of shapes and patterns.
Moreover, there are ceramic tiles for all budgets, so it is almost impossible
not to find the right model for your kitchen.
Types of wall tiles for your kitchen
The shape of the wall tiles, typically square, rectangular,
or octagonal, depends on your taste and preferences, given that what matters
and really makes the difference is how they are combined. In small kitchens, it
is preferable that the joint be as invisible as possible, to give continuity
and make the space look visually larger, while in those with a more generous
space, the separation between wall tiles can be visible and will add elegance.
How to choose the color of wall tiles for your kitchen
The color for kitchen wall tiles is chosen primarily based
on the space you are going to decorate and its total surface area. White and
light colors are the best choices for a smaller kitchen. If they are glossy,
even better, because they will reflect the light. In a large kitchen, colored wall
tiles can be chosen, as well as those with a matte finish or in different
combinations of textures and colors. In this case, the rule of elegance says
that you can use at most two or three colors.
The size of the ceramic tiles is extremely important, as it
can completely influence the aspect of the space you are decorating. The rule
is simple: the larger the space, the smaller the size of the ceramic tiles can
be. In small kitchens, the first choice should be for large tiles, which will
give fluidity to the space and make the room appear larger. In contrast, small
tiles are a good choice in large kitchens.
Wall tiles can be installed symmetrically or asymmetrically,
with lines and shapes playing off each other, and the choice should take into
account the style of the kitchen decor. Symmetric variants are perfect for
minimalist, modern kitchens, and very small ones, while games, patterned tiles
and asymmetrical solutions are useful in a classic kitchen, those with a
vintage feel, or those where the overall effect is the main focus, rather than
necessarily the style.
Wall tiles and floor tiles are available in numerous sizes,
textures, and colors, making it relatively easy to find products that suit your
taste. Their popularity is due to their durability, as well as the ease with
which they are maintained.
Floor Tile for your kitchen
If you are not familiar with interior design, it is very
possible that you do not know what to think of first when it comes to choosing
the right floor tiles for your kitchen. Moreover, the generous offers on the
market can be overwhelming.
Well, it is important to start by understanding that
interior tiles can be divided into various types, which differ based on the
material they are made of, the method of manufacture, and their durability. For
this reason, it is essential to pay attention to the materials we use and make
sure they are suitable for our living space.
Porcelain floor tiles are ideal for both outdoor and indoor
use. They are extremely durable, whether in residential or commercial spaces.
Porcelain floor tiles are an excellent choice for those who prefer a
natural-looking material, such as wood.
Kitchen Wall Tiles – Trends for 2022
In recent years, more and more people are choosing to
renovate or decorate their living spaces based on trends, and 2022 is no
exception. If you are interested in these aspects, it is good to know that this
year, according to designer forecasts, dark shades, such as navy blue, green,
or gray, are in fashion when it comes to kitchen design. However, if you don’t
like this style, experts recommend choosing light oak-colored sets.
Moreover, designers advise us to use dark colors, even when
designing small kitchens. For spectacular decor, interior design experts use
finishes and furniture in dark colors.
The big downside of kitchens with dark-colored furniture is
the difficult maintenance.
Porosity of Tiles
Porosity is defined as the ratio of air gaps to the solid
mass of floor tiles. It influences the percentage of water absorbed by the
tiles. Therefore, the denser the tile, the less water it absorbs, as it has
fewer air gaps.
Porosity is crucial when it comes to selecting tiles for
bathrooms and kitchens, as these rooms require walls and floors that are
resistant to moisture. Porous tiles are not recommended for use outdoors, where
rain, snow, and ice can damage them.

ceramic, which are ideal for indoor spaces, and their offers can be consulted HERE.
