Popular Colour Shades for Kitchen

Every wall has a story to tell. What’s yours?

popular colour shade for your kitchen

The Kitchen is probably the most used area of a house. Most of us spend a good amount of time there, whether it is cooking for our loved ones or making a cooking video for our subscribers. We all have some fond memories attached to it. Some of the popular colours in the kitchen include but are not restricted to white, off whites, beige, grey, and neutral shades like pastel green, pink and oranges.

They are also available in many sizes, some of them including 600×600 mm, 600×1200 mm, 800×1600 mm, 145×600 mm, and 195×1200 mm. All kitchen tiles at Orientbell Tiles are segregated into different finishes – matteglossysuper glossysatin mattemetallicrocker, and sugar/lapato.

You can choose from germ-free, forever, highlighter, vitrified, ceramic, digital, nano polished, satin and super gloss are some of the materials available at Orientbell Tiles’s kitchen collection. Popular highlighter tiles colours are an eclectic mix of best selling colours including white, beige, red, yellow, off white among others.

Though we cherish these beautiful memories and try to capture them forever, cleaning after preparing food is a struggle. Cooking spills, stains, smoke, and foot traffic are inevitable. The tiles for walls and floor must be strong enough to sustain these and still last long. Sometimes, the colors you choose can make all the difference.

Keeping in mind the high activities and other aspects like stains, smoke, and spills, you can go for a little darker colors and can cover these by being quite evident.

Here is a list of colors for kitchen tiles that are best for your kitchen walls.

Green Tile – Restful Color for the Eye

Green, the color of nature and tranquillity, is one of the most popular colours for kitchen tiles. Ideal for busy households, different shades of green tiles on kitchen backsplashes can be a great way to mask the marks or stains on the walls, unlike lighter colors like white, beige, and ivory. You can use sage green, mint, olive, and avocado green to complement the Kitchen.

Blues and White Tile – Freshness & Calmness

Blues and White Tile - Freshness & Calmness

Blue is a royal colour that goes extremely well with any space. Although we do not recommend blue for the kitchen, if you love the colour blue you can install tiles that are in combination with the colour blue. For instance, blue details over a white tile. You may not just limit it to kitchen wall tiles; you can extend it to cabinetry and furniture. The same goes for kitchen spaces; you can incorporate blue to bring in an element of royalty and classic.

Blues and White Tile

It is best to pair blues with light shades, either with mosaic tiles or light shades on the walls. For a more calming environment, you can use pastel blue shades for a more playful aesthetic. Orientbell Tiles offers different shades of blue tiles that you can choose from. Some popular ones include the germ-free SPH Geometric Floral highlighter tiles, GFT SPH Cosmos Flower Blue HL, Square Blue, and Plain Ocean Blue.
