What tiles to place in the kitchen

Many people ask us for advice on which tiles are best suited to place in the kitchen. Our opinion is that the kitchen is a place where many elements coexist and of all of them perhaps the tile is one of the least important ones. Just as in the bathroom the tiles are the basis of their decoration and the choice of the other products is usually conditioned by them, in the case of the kitchen it is not usually so. The lining of the kitchen is usually done with white tiles for kitchen or at least light color and with hardly any decoration. In this way we will give more importance to the kitchen furniture that we will subsequently place. Today there are so many models of tiles that even among the white tiles we have many options to choose from. We see differences in measurements, textures and prices. Regarding the price of the tiles, it must be taken into account that some of the walls will be completely covered by the kitchen furniture, so we usually recommend covering the wall that is not going to be seen with a cheap white tile, and in this way reduce The cost of our investment.

On the other hand, one of the styles that currently becomes important in the catalogs of tiles for kitchens are the subway type tiles. They are small tiles, easy to clean and modern design.

A concept that we must keep in mind is that the kitchen tile has to be easy to clean. We cook many foods, some stand out for the ease they have to stain everything that is in their path, smoke, oils reside ... To help preserve the cleanliness in the kitchen we have to buy smooth tiles, especially in the cooking area . This also affects the format of the tiles, because the larger they are, the less together we will need. Cement joints are one of the elements in which dirt penetrates more and less easy is to return them to their original state. We also want to mention that if our choice of buying kitchen tiles is based on the cleaning of these, a gloss tile will always be preferable to a matt one.

Finally, there is an alternative to tiles to place in what we call the front of the kitchen, the space that is usually between tall furniture and the bench. The option to which we refer is to raise those centimeters with the material with which we make the bench (Silestone, Grantio, Porcelain). This is the most practical options for cleaning, as well as providing continuity lines in the style of our kitchen.

These are just a few examples to look for practicality in the kitchen, but obviously there are many more options depending on the taste of the consumer and the style of cooking we want.
