Kitchen Wall Tiles

The kitchen is the heart of the home, but it is also where the maximum number of spills and splashes happen. Tiles can be used in almost all areas of the kitchen – from floor to walls to backsplash to even countertops! However, the wall area around the sink as well as the area behind the stove, is most likely where maintenance is higher. This is where kitchen wall tiles come into the picture. Kitchen wall tiles can save your walls from stubborn stains, smoke stains, and not to forget constant water usage.

Kitchen walls offer a canvas for the imaginative homeowner. Highlighter kitchen wall tiles can be used to create designs and patterns. Use a combination of different kitchen tiles shades depending on the light in your kitchen, or you can pair subdued shades of tiles to go with coloured kitchen cabinets. A unique use of kitchen wall tiles is on shelves, where newspaper is used to prevent stains.

Using glossy tiles is great in this area as they are easier to clean and do not stain easily. The kitchen wall tiles you use can be of any size, depending upon the space available – 200x300mm, 300x600mm, 300x450mm, 600x600mm, and 600x1200mm are some of the popularly opted for choices. While larger GVT tiles are preferred in muted shades, homeowners also prefer using ceramic tiles in all sizes for their kitchen walls.

Tips To Choose The Best Kitchen Wall Tiles For Your Need

Here are some tips to choose the best tiles for your kitchen walls:

1. Decide Where The Tile Will Be Installed

When you start designing your kitchen space you need to finalise what areas will be tiled. You may want a full tiled kitchen or a mix of tile and paint or wallpaper. Kitchen wall tiles can be used on the walls, backsplash, countertop, shelves, islands, etc. so decide which of these spaces you want to tile before you embark on your tile search.

2. Determine Your Budget

It is important to set a budget so that you don’t end up falling in love with a look that you cannot afford. Look into the average tile prices and calculate the number of tiles you will need for your space – you can set a rough budget according to that estimation. You can use the tile calculator tool on our website to know how many tile boxes you will need for your project and you can proceed accordingly.

3. Consider The Dimensions and Shapes

While selecting the tiles for your kitchen it is important to take the shape and size of the tiles into consideration. If you have a small kitchen space opt for larger tiles to create an illusion of more space since there will be less grout lines. If you want to give your unique touch, opt for smaller tiles to create an intricate pattern.

4. Take Your Lifestyle Into Consideration

While choosing the tiles for your kitchen it is important to keep your lifestyle in mind. While tiles are a hassle free material, the amount of maintenance depends upon the tile you install. Glossy wall tiles are easier to clean, while matte tiles may have crevices where food and dust can settle and may require additional cleaning processes – so take all these aspects into consideration before choosing a tile.

5. Choose A Design And Colour Scheme

Deciding on a colour or design scheme can help narrow down your options and set a direction for your space. If you are renovating your space it is best to keep the existing features, such as design and colour of cabinets, in mind while selecting the colours and designs. If you are a person who needs to re-invent or renovate their spaces on a regular basis it is best to opt for neutral colours so that you do not have to re-do all your tiles if you want a dramatic change of colour or design.
