Tiles are so important to kitchen decor that they can literally make or break a kitchen. One of the reasons for such immense power is that tiles are very versatile. They come in such myriad sizes, shapes, colors and texture that millions of beautiful patterns can be woven out of them. If tiles are given a prominent role in kitchen decor then no two kitchens would look alike.

Some Tile Ideas That Could Come Handy

To give the kitchen a proper look, use tiles made from different materials like ceramic, stone or glass. It would be better if kitchen floor were of a color that contrasts with doors. That would make the kitchen look larger. Do not use coordinated colors between work surface, floor and walls. Rather, to create an impact, go for contrasting or accented colors. You should not forget the color of the grout while working on the tiles. A contrasting grout color can add to the appearance of the kitchen but reveal grouting faults. A coordinated grouting color will give a seamless look

Different kinds of tiles are used in different parts of the kitchen. Tiles that are easy to clean and take care are used for the backsplash. For flooring tiles that can withstand wear and tear and last long must be used. This is main reason why glass is used only as accents on floors. Tiles that become slippery like glazed tiles are also not suitable for the floor. Color of floor tiles is also important. Contrasting dark floor tiles make the kitchen look bigger

The place to have beautiful tile patterns is the wall. They have ample space for a complete work of art, if you can afford it. The tiles on the counter top should be strong, heat resistant, durable, easy to clean and non porous. - 24553
