The kitchen is one of the most important places in our home. We cook, feast and even relax in this space. Therefore, its decor must be not only functional but also appropriately beautiful for us. Tiles can be the main factor responsible for both of these areas. They are also our most common choice both as wall and floor coverings because they are safe to use, rather easy to install compared to glass, which has recently become fashionable and cheaper than alternatives. So how do you make the right choice of tiles for the kitchen? Depending on the surface, these will be different types, so let's divide this choice into two separate sections: what for the wall above the countertop and what for the floor? What to choose for the wall: ➡ we can use both wall tiles and stoneware, but it should be remembered that in the case of stoneware it will be much more difficult for us to drill/cut various holes, e.g. for sockets; ➡ in the case of surfaces, a glossy one is recommended because it is easier to wipe off splashes because they do not settle in holes or perforations, but it is more difficult to remove streaks from them, which is an advantage for matte tiles; ➡ when it comes to size, we have complete freedom limited by the size of the wall, large tiles that can constitute one surface are becoming fashionable, such as those up to 120 cm and larger, but also brick formats arranged in various patterns, e.g. herringbone.; ➡ in the case of kitchens, color has a definite meaning not only aesthetically, but above all functionally, and here white will immediately highlight any dirt or splashes, so depending on what we care about, it is worth taking this into account; ➡ the last issue is the grout, or rather its thickness, it is definitely better to choose rectified tiles for the wall because then we can lay them with a 1 mm grout, thanks to which its dirt will be less visible. What to choose for the floor: ➡ here you should definitely choose stoneware, which are more durable than regular floor tiles, and in the kitchen it is easy to drop e.g. a plate, so to avoid chipping during use, let's definitely choose stoneware; ➡ as for the surface, unlike what was recommended for the wall, we definitely advise against shiny surfaces, because every drop or streak will be perfectly visible on them and cleaning them will keep us awake at night; ➡ the size should be chosen based on the total area of ​​the room so that the cuts are large enough in relation to the whole; ➡ the color, similarly to the wall, has great optical and functional importance, a light floor can enlarge the space, but any dirt will also be visible on it, on the other hand, dust will stand out much more clearly on a dark floor, e.g. black; ➡ the pattern of a tile, e.g. wood-like, is one of the most common choices recently, because not only does it give the interior a natural look, is easier to clean, and also blends perfectly with other rooms, especially when the kitchen is connected to the living room. In our stores you will find a huge selection of patterns, colours and shapes that will be perfect for the kitchen space of your dreams.
