PATTERNED FLOOR TILES

If you’re looking for fresh new ways to elevate your new or existing kitchen design, you might want to reconsider your options for the kitchen floor and think about going for one that offers personality, durability and style. These days, a wood floor is not the only option you have for your beautiful kitchen.

The tile options today are endless offering limitless designs in natural stone, porcelain, quartz, ceramic and concrete suitable for every style imaginable from modern to traditional and farmhouse to vintage. Although wood floors in the kitchen remain popular choices, there’s a growing interest in tiling the kitchen floor not only for practical reasons but to create a visually unique floor that will transition from the kitchen to adjacent rooms. By creating a stunning patterned tile floor you’ll add character and style to a neutral kitchen. Changing the flooring in an open-plan space will help to visually define cooking, dining and living zones in the space.

Here are some inspiring tile floor designs that can instantly change the mood of a room, create a focal point or add a final flourish that elevates your home’s design.

The classic checkerboard ceramic tile floor in charcoal and light gray to complement the Thermador stainless steel appliances, offers a classic French bistro look and transitions beautifully to a wood floor in the adjacent rooms. A practical tile floor can totally transform a space, especially when renovating period properties.
