Popular Kitchen Tile Styles
Porcelain & Ceramic Tiles
Durable, easy to clean, and available in hundreds of colours and finishes – these are a go-to option for both floor and wall applications. Porcelain, in particular, is fully waterproof and ideal for high-traffic areas, such as kitchens.
Stone-Look & Flagstone Tiles
Create a timeless look with large-format tiles that resemble limestone, slate, or sandstone – ideal for kitchen floors or rustic-style splashbacks.
Decorative & Patterned Tiles
From Victorian black-and-white to Moroccan-inspired mosaics, patterned tiles can be used on the floor, as a feature wall, or behind the hob for a statement splashback.
Marble-Effect & Terrazzo
Add luxury and drama with prominent veining or colourful terrazzo designs – perfect for modern kitchen styles or to contrast shaker cabinets.

FAQ’s
What kind of tile is best for a kitchen?
Porcelain and ceramic tiles are the most popular choices for kitchens. Porcelain is denser, waterproof, and extremely durable, making it ideal for high-traffic floors. Ceramic is slightly more affordable and works well for splashbacks and walls.
Should kitchen tiles be light or dark
Both can work beautifully, light tiles help make smaller kitchens feel more open and airy, while darker tones offer warmth and hide marks better. It ultimately depends on the size of your space and your colour scheme.
Which is better for kitchen use, ceramic or porcelain
Porcelain is generally better for kitchen floors due to its density and water resistance. However, ceramic tiles are great for walls and splashbacks, where heavy foot traffic isn’t a concern.
What tile size works best in kitchens
Larger tiles (e.g. 600x600mm or 300x600mm) can make a space feel bigger by reducing grout lines. However, patterned or smaller format tiles work well as accents or in traditional designs. We’ll help you choose based on your layout.
Should kitchen tiles be matte or shiny
Matte tiles offer better slip resistance, especially for floors. Glossy tiles are easier to wipe clean and work well on walls to reflect light. Many kitchens use matte tiles on the floor and gloss tiles for walls.
What is the latest trend in kitchen tiles
Herringbone patterns, stone-look porcelain, and bold marble veining are trending. Many homeowners are also mixing wall and floor tile styles for a layered, custom look.
Are tiles in a kitchen old-fashioned
Not at all, tiles are timeless. From modern large-format porcelain to traditional patterned styles, there’s a tile to suit every kitchen design. The right combination of tile and layout can look incredibly contemporary.
