One of the most wonderful aspects of kitchen tiles is that they are not only very practical but also exceptionally versatile when it comes to using them to frame and shape a space. A good seller of Italian porcelain tiles will have a huge range of designs to suit every kitchen.
However, one of the most interesting upcoming kitchen trends involves the backsplash, a tiled space behind the hob which can easily be wiped clean after cooking and has had considerable untapped potential for making truly personal and vibrant kitchen designs.
Typically, backsplashes are a subway pattern, but the next major trend might have come from, of all places, a cooking video by actors Zooey Deschanel and Crystal Kung Minkoff.
The video itself about making dumplings did gain some interest in itself, but designers were immediately drawn to the unique mosaic-style blue and green tiled backsplash, with a frame of cream rectangular tiles.
The look itself is rustic-inspired and has captured the eye and interest of many interior designers, who gushed over how Ms Deschanel’s tile choices have added a lot of her unique style and personality to the space.
Because tiles have such a long and rich history in kitchen design, they can be an easy signpost for the particular design period that a homeowner is aiming for, and tiles add a level of artistry you cannot get with a stone backsplash.
Historically, the cooking space is the centrepiece of a kitchen and using mosaics and patterns turns a kitchen into a place to gather around, like the fireplace in a living room.
Beyond this, there are the practical benefits of patterned tiles, which is that it is much easier to hide dirt and stains on a pattern, and cleaning is just a matter of wiping away the dirt with a damp cloth. It also helps to protect the wall.
