GET THE LOOK OF NATURAL WOOD WITH INNOVATIVE WOOD-EFFECT PORCELAIN TILES

We all love the warmth that gorgeous natural wood finishes and accents bring to our home. They instantly create enduring beauty and character in any style of home. Although natural wood is still a popular choice for our kitchens and bathrooms, due to concerns over potential water damage and daily wear and tear by the family and pets, natural wood finishes are not always the most practical options for these busy, high-traffic rooms. As designers continue to look for clever ways to design with innovative, low maintenance, sustainable products for our homes, there’s one product that’s getting lots of attention and growing in popularity, wood-effect porcelain tiles. This high-quality versatile porcelain product realistically mimics the look and feel of natural wood and is available in a variety of colours, textures and sizes. Because it’s moisture, scratch and dent resistant, and won’t warp or swell like natural wood products tend to do, they’re much easier to maintain making them a smart and beautiful way to get the look of wood in your home.

Here are some stunning examples of modern wood-effect porcelain floor and wall tile designs for the kitchen (or any room of the house) that will create warm and inviting spaces where you’ll love to cook, dine and live with ease.

Let this stunning kitchen by Dunbar Road Design inspire you to get the look of a natural wood floor in your kitchen with durable low-maintenance wood-effect porcelain tiles without sacrificing style. You can even install them over in-floor heating systems. The soft gray/blue painted cabinets and stainless steel Thermador dual fuel 48” range and ventilation are beautifully complemented by a classic herringbone floor design and dark wood free-standing island to create this exceptionally gorgeous family kitchen.

Available in 3 natural wood tones Ciot’s Treverkcharme 4'' x 27.6'' porcelain wood tiles replicate the look of real wood planks that can be laid in a traditional linear plank floor design or in a classic herringbone pattern. Look for wood-effect tiles that are made using recycled materials, making them a more sustainable option compared to traditional wood flooring.

I’m impressed with the versatility of Ciot’s innovative wood-effects porcelain tile called Barnboard Contemporary and how amazing it looks when used to create a unique easy-to-clean backsplash. Highly durable and resistant to heat and moisture, porcelain tiles are perfectly suitable for kitchen applications including floors, backsplashes and countertops. When used on the floor they add a classic tactile element that creates a natural wood look that can also be used with in-floor heating systems.
