What are the most popular ideas for kitchen wall tiles?

Popular ideas for kitchens change with the seasons as well as the different design trends the ebb and flow. The most popular wall tile ideas are those that are practical to implement, not too costly to buy, and that will allow you the room to allow your own creativity and personal style to shine through. 

Whether you love the classic subway tile look to trendy hexagons, at CTM you’ll find a variety of styles that will fit any taste.


Here are some of our Kitchen Wasll Tiles

Five kitchen wall tile ideas you need to try:

1. Kitchen wall backsplashes will never go out of style

Backsplashes are the best way to showcase your personal style in your kitchen. They will never go out of style because practically, you always need a tile behind your oven or stove because they are easy to clean off the cooking splashes and messes that inevitably will happen. Mosaics, decor tiles, subway tiles and hexagon tiles, allow you the ability to bring colour and vibrant design to any backsplash.


2. Mix plain tiles with colourful kitchen tile designs

If you want to create a neutral palette in your kitchen space, that’s absolutely fine. Consider mixing a plain, neutral tile in with a hint of colour and texture by mixing it with a colourful tile for a feature wall or feature area. You can even consider spotter tiles to add a bit of fun to the space.

3. Match tiles with the kitchen countertop or contrast it

When it comes to matching your kitchen countertop with your tiling, you have two choices. You can either match it or contrast it completely. For example, if you have a white, quartz countertop you can choose to add a light marble look tile to match the look and feel. Alternatively, you could choose a colourful subway tile in a contrasting colour to make the countertop stand out.

4. Use a contrasting grout colour to create a unique colour fusion

The old-school way of thinking was to always match your grout colour to your tile. Trends in 2022 are suggesting that you can go in the absolute opposite direction by contrasting your grout colour with your tiling to create a fused, standout look. Consider dark grey grout against light, white tiles, or white grout against dark, black tiles?


5. Create a timeless style with modern kitchen wall tiles

The key to any home renovation is to create a space that is both modern and contemporary but that has longevity to it too. Modern tiles can be beautifully worked in to create a timeless space that is both personal in style and look but still offers great resale value at the end of the day.
