Trends in Kitchen Floor Tiles
November 28, 2023Floors are the heart of any kitchen and selecting a tile can make a big difference in its atmosphere and functionality. There is an expansive array of styles and materials from which to select.
Manmade tiles are more cost-effective while natural stone has more character and elegance. If you have children or are prone to accidents, smooth surfaces are recommended over pitted stones which may collect dirt and be slippery.
Hexagon Tiles
Hexagon tiles are an eye-catching tile shape that adds an eye-catching geometric aesthetic to any space. Their six-sided polygon shape takes inspiration from nature’s honeycombs, organic molecules and snowflakes for its balanced yet symmetrical aesthetic.
Hexagon tile comes in various materials such as ceramic, porcelain and natural stone. Elongated hexagon tiles make a room feel bigger by creating less grout lines; white hexagon tile combined with light grout gives a timeless classic aesthetic.
For rustic charm, choose wood-look hexagon tiles which evoke the natural aesthetics of rich oak, vintage chestnut or weathered barnwood. Wood-look hexagon tiles add warmth, earthy elements and natural charm into kitchens, living rooms or bathrooms alike.

Blue tiles can add an elegant maritime ambience to your home. Pair them with earthy tones like green and brown for an organic vibe or add brightly colored accents for an energetic vibe.

Patterned Tiles
Patterned tiles are an eye-catching interior design choice that will draw the eye to any room they grace. Available in an array of colors, patterns and textures – making them versatile enough for use in any setting – these bold tiles come from porcelain ceramic and natural stone materials for you to select from.
Geometric tile patterns are a trendy trend, often featuring bold contrast of colors for an eye-catching effect. Encaustic-style tiles, inspired by traditional cement tile designs, also are often utilized to add vintage or retro charm in any given space.
Other patterned tiles made of vinyl offer cost-effective alternatives to marble and granite flooring, making it easier and cleaner. Their variety of patterns and colours also makes cleaning simpler than with marble and granite floors, and when selecting one it is important to keep in mind the rest of the room’s color scheme; otherwise a boldly patterned tile could become overwhelming when the rest of it features neutral tones.
