They say the kitchen is the heart of the home. It makes sense then to ensure your kitchen looks and feels cosy and welcoming at all times. This article will help you choose the right tiles for your kitchen if you are sprucing it up a bit.
Many kitchens have tiles in them, whether they are on the walls as a splashback or on the floor as an eye catching and easy to clean floor surface. But whether you choose one or the other or both options, you need to consider the various types of wall and floor tiles available for you to choose from.
Quartz tiles are a good option if you want something that will look different depending on the amount of light in the room. They look particularly nice on the walls if you have down lighters mounted underneath the wall cabinets, as the light will catch the quartz tiles to good effect.
Alternatively if you have a more traditional kitchen rather than a modern one, think about getting more rustic tiles. Travertine tiles are very well known as having a wonderful surface that varies on every single tile. You have to treat and protect them as they are porous, but the effect is such that it is worth doing on a regular basis.
When you are choosing wall and floor tiles for your kitchen, it is a good idea to think about your budget. Some tiles, such as the Travertine ones mentioned above, are invariably more expensive than others. You also need to think about the space you need to cover the tiles with. If you are only covering a small space your budget may allow you to get more expensive tiles than you would be able to if you were tiling a splash back and the entire floor as well.
Shop around for your tiles too. There are lots of different outlets to try and you could find you can save a lot of money by looking in several different places. Make sure you consider the different types of materials and their effects on the overall look of your kitchen. Shiny quartz ones are very different from the flat effect of the Travertine tiles, but there are many ones in between these two as well.
As you can see, choosing your kitchen tiles isn’t going to be a job that is completed in five minutes. Unless you are really lucky to have no ceiling to your budget and you spot the perfect tile within minutes of starting to look, you can assume you will spend some time searching for some options. But you will end up with a nice choice – and a nice kitchen too.
