kitchen tiles

Wall tiles provide the finishing touches to a kitchen, completing any long-awaited period kitchen renovation. Once you’ve knocked out the necessary walls, constructed the cabinets, and positioned your worktops, you’re ready to make your final big decision: wall tiles.

Many people find the wall tile decision the most difficult of all; it’s often left until last and you want to make sure your tiles complement your other kitchen decisions and your period property as a whole. Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. Take a look at our kitchen wall tile ideas to give your kitchen the finish it deserves.

Go pink

Once considered a risky choice, pink is now a firm favourite amongst interior designers and it’s easy to see why; current trends of cabinetry in moody colours such as navy and dark green sit beautifully against a backdrop of uplifting pink tiles.

Don’t underestimate the impact of the grout colour when introducing a striking pink to your kitchen - you’ll find that different tones within the tiles are emphasised, depending on your choice of grout.

Choose classic

Impactful and stunning, a victorian-style tile can never look out of place in a period property. In fact, it’s often these patterned tiles that draw people to love period properties. The geometric shapes make victorian-style tiles practical and easy to keep clean.

Pick a hypnotising herringbone

The V-shaped herringbone pattern dates back to the Roman era and can be used to create an eye-catching focal point in the kitchen. Subway tiles lend themselves perfectly to establishing a distinctive look around the whole kitchen, or as a stand-out splashback.

Go green

Deep green tiles add a gorgeous elegance to neutral-coloured cabinetry. Lay your tiles vertically as opposed to horizontally for a bold, vibrant finish.

Why not go modern?

Having a period home doesn’t mean you have to choose a period style throughout your kitchen. As a matter of fact, an ultra-contemporary kitchen and wall tiles set against a backdrop of period home features make for a stylish, welcoming kitchen.
