The kitchen is one of the most important and regularly-used rooms in the home. In total, we spend lots of time in our kitchens – preparing and eating food, or just socialising with a cup of tea. To many of us, the right decor in our kitchen is important and tiles are often part of the decor in a kitchen. So here we are going to look at some kitchen tiles ideas, to inspire you to create a room you’ll love to spend time in.
Kitchen Tiles Ideas: The Advantages of Tiles in a Kitchen
Due to all of the food preparation, cooking, eating and family time which happens in most kitchens, they can be humid at times and require regular cleaning. In some areas, a wide range of temperatures and all kinds of food and cooking splashes can be inflicted on the walls.
So it makes sense to decorate these areas of kitchen walls with tiles, which are durable, long-lasting, water-resistant, cleanable and able to withstand a range of temperatures.
Kitchen Tiles Ideas: Beautiful Kitchen Wall Tiles
At Floral Tiles, we like our tiles to be colourful, detailed and decorative – adding interest and beauty to an otherwise plain area of wall. Our tiles are fully cleanable and water-resistant. In independent EU safety tests they were shown to be capable of dealing with high temperatures and safe in terms of the release of metals such as Lead.
The images on the tiles are permanent and UV resistant – they won’t fade in the sun. An advantage they have over tile stickers is that they won’t peel off when exposed to humidity or are cleaned.
Kitchen Tiles Ideas and Inspiration
So, on to some kitchen tiles ideas and inspiration! We will look at some traditional garden fruit designs, berries and herbs, as well as some flowers. Whether you are a keen gardener, a whizz at growing and making your own home produce, a fan of healthy eating and home cooking, or just want kitchen wall tiles which are a bit more decorative, we have some kitchen tiles ideas for you.
Kitchen Tiles Ideas: Fruit Tiles
This green apple design is based on an antique illustration, giving it a traditional look.
With a similar traditional design, these green pears could work well scattered here and there among plain tiles.
These deep red ripe cherries add a little colour to a fruit-inspired tiled wall.
Another popular British garden fruit – a purple plum, based on an antique botanical illustration.
Of course kitchen tiles don’t have to be food related! This pink Hydrangea was originally a watercolour painting and has soft colours and lots of detail.
Another design which started out as a watercolour painting, this delicate Lavender flower design adds a subtle hint of colour. Scattered here and there, they can be a great way to break up a plain tiled kitchen wall.
This wonderfully detailed Lily flower adds a bright and cheerful splash of colour to a kitchen wall
Another Lily flower, this time in white. Based on an antique illustration, the design has a vintage look and could work well in a period or country kitchen.
Kitchen Tiles Ideas: Patterned Tiles
Patterned tiles can also work well in kitchens. This tile has vintage style roses on a pale green background and could work well with vintage style or ‘shabby chic’ kitchen decor.
Patterned tiles can work well when used in a checker pattern with plain tiles.
An alternative way of creating a checker pattern is to choose several different designs and alternate with plain tiles.
Tiles with a seamless pattern – such as these grey roses tiles – can be placed together to create a larger pattern. This could work well to create a statement kitchen splashback.
For those who want to create an eye-catching feature wall in their kitchen, mixing and matching patterned tiles to create a patchwork wall could be one way to do it.
