Kitchen Tile Trends
Designing your new kitchen can be daunting; there are so many factors to consider - from cabinets and appliances to tiles and accessories.
As the heart of the home, adding a touch of your personality with tiles will help you feel relaxed and mean you will love your kitchen for years to come. Feeling stuck? We’ve gathered up the latest tile trends to give you inspiration for your interiors…
Moroccan Magic
Designers take inspiration from across the globe, but it’s no mystery why they keep coming back to the brightly coloured patterns of Morocco. The intricate designs of Moroccan tiles will bring an exotic feel into your kitchen and, when combined, mean you can create a one-of-a-kind look that invokes the richness and warmth of its country of origin.
Pretty Pastels
Far from sickly and saccharine, pastel kitchen tiles are proving themselves to be sophisticated and stylish. If you want to dip your toe in, consider pairing white kitchen units with simple pastel metro tiles in a classic design, or go bold with metallic accessories and eye-catching geometric patterns.
Statement Patterns & Geometrics
This trend is less about which tile you use, and more about how you use it. Lay your tiles in an unexpected pattern and watch your kitchen go from ordinary to extraordinary with the swipe of a tile-cutter! Try hexagonal tiles in a honeycomb style, or lay your metro tiles vertically instead of horizontally and get a whole new perspective on life.
A Touch of Metallic
Adding a glamorous finish to your kitchen, metallic tiles are perfect for those that like the finer things in life! Pair with statement lighting, and matching metallic hardware across your kitchen for the ultimate in modern, luxury kitchen design.

Absolutely Marble-ous
The natural beauty of marble is a timeless classic, and marble kitchen tiles are the ideal way to include this natural stone in your interiors. From the sophistication of white marble, reminiscent of ancient statues and palaces, to the dramatic look of black marble, this material is a must-have for luxury kitchens that never go out of style.
Textured
Textured tiles are the perfect addition to your kitchen if you want to make a statement. Adding depth to any design, there any number of combinations of textured kitchen tiles to try - so let your imagination go wild! If you don’t want to go bold, try textured tiles in a neutral colour or combine matt and gloss tiles in tonal shades for a unique look.
Very Vintage
If you’re more traditional, the trend for vintage style kitchen tiles may be the one for you. Taking inspiration from the most fashionable times in history, vintage tiles will take your kitchen from basic to beautiful. Choose tiles that match the tone of your furnishings, and add some quirky accessories for a cohesive but playful finish.
Dark and Moody
The colour black has been sneaking its way back into interiors over the past few years, and it’s showing no sign of stopping! Black kitchen tiles are the latest in statement interiors, creating a striking backdrop for your culinary activities. Try incorporating different textures for a high-end look, or combining with warm wooden pieces and contrasting white tableware for a modern but homely feel.
Coloured Grout
Add a little something extra to your kitchen tiles with some coloured grout. Whether you’re giving your subway tiles a bit extra personality, or really letting your design flair come through with a unique combination of colours, this trend will make sure that your kitchen tiles really stand out from the crowd!
Industrial Cool
Last, but certainly not least, if you’re looking for a touch of urban cool to your kitchen, opt for industrial-style tiles. Concrete-look tiles or tiles with a distressed texture work well with this trend; keep it modern with metallic accessories, industrial lighting and open shelving.
