Why Should You Tile Your Kitchen Walls?

Not only does tiling a kitchen bring a stylish and sophisticated look to any kitchen but they also have a super functional element to them. There are several reasons why tiling is a hygienic, easy, and stylish choice for the heart of the home:

• Tiles are hygienic and easy-to-clean. You simply need to wipe them down with an all-purpose cleaner and a damp cloth to get best results. Tiles in general are resistant to chemicals and cleaners, so you can use cleaners – and even bleach cleaners – to give your kitchen tiles a hygienic clean.
• Tiles do not allow moisture in, meaning they are moisture resistant which will prevent nasty things like mould and bacteria growing on and around them.
• Most tiles for the kitchen are stain and scratch resistant, making them excellent choices for the kitchen area where lots of food prep and cooking take place.
• Tiling is one of the most cost-effective design elements you can choose for a kitchen, depending on the type of tile you choose. Once you’ve tiled, you literally just need to keep the tiles clean and they will last a lifetime. 

What Type of Tiles Are Best for Kitchen Walls?

There are a few different types of latest kitchen wall tiles which are great for use on kitchen walls. Ideally, you want a tile that can be easily cleaned, won’t retain moisture, won’t stain and will give you years of use out of them.

Ceramic tiles are a great choice for kitchen walls because they are highly durable. They don’t scratch or stain easily and are highly moisture-resistant. You can choose from a wide selection of modern kitchen wall tiles made from ceramics. You can choose between glossy or matt, and they are available in a range of colours, shapes and patterns too.

Which Colour Tiles is Best for Kitchen Walls?

The sky is the limit when it comes to colour in a kitchen. You can choose between neutral shades of white, cream or grey for a subtle, understated look. Or choose bright, colourful subway tiles or mosaics to add a pop of colour to the space. When choosing a colour for your wall tiles, always make sure you take into account the following:

• What is the overall design theme or look that you’re going for? Monochrome? Country? Rustic? Beachy?
• Consider the colour of your flooring and cabinetry and match your tiles accordingly.
• Choose a tile that is versatile and durable for a kitchen and is within your budget.

Tips to Brighten Up Your Kitchen With Wall Tiles

If you want to bring both beauty and bright creativity to your kitchen, using wall tiles can be the perfect place to start. Here are our top tips for brightening up your kitchen using beautiful kitchen wall tiles:

• Don’t be afraid to add a pop of colour with bright kitchen wall tiles. Many people think wall tiles have to be white or cream, which can be the case but it doesn’t always have to be. If you don’t want to tile a whole wall in a bright colour, consider doing a bright splashback or feature wall only.
• You don’t have to go monotone in the kitchen either. Modern kitchen wall tiles offer a range of unique, eye-catching designs which work really well in kitchens.
• Be brave enough to mix and match different colours as well as textures when it comes to wall tiles. If you are, you’ll be rewarded with a custom look that will be uniquely yours.
• Use wall tiles to tell a story. Patterned tiles and mosaics can add a visual story to your kitchen space
• Unless you’re going with a monochrome or monotone feel in your kitchen, don’t’ be afraid to get creative with colours and kitchen wall tile patterns. Playing with a variety of shapes – in how you lay the tiles - in the kitchen can work really well too. Think diamond, herringbone, stepladder and hexagon shapes when planning your kitchen design.
