The kitchen is often the hub of the home; a place not just where we cook, but also where we tend to gather and eat, drink, and chat over a cup of coffee. Therefore we need a space that is not only well designed and functional, but is also a pleasure to be in. A key element of a beautiful kitchen is the right choice of tiles. Here’s a look at the latest trends for 2023.
If you are thoroughly bored of the clinical all-white kitchen, then you will welcome the trend for bold patterns. Go for geometric patterns, abstract botanical designs, hexagon shapes or herringbone patterns to create a style statement.
Patterned tiles work well for floors and walls, but you could also use them more sparingly to create a focal point. This could be a splashback or a feature wall for example.
Colour is back in a big way, so if you’ve always secretly longed for an uplifting colourful kitchen, then 2023 is the time to go for it! Mint greens and sky blues provide a brilliant mood-booster whatever the weather outside, helping us to feel happy and optimistic. Pink and magenta shades are also an increasingly popular choice for the kitchen.
Another big trend for kitchens is to mix lighter and darker colours for a pleasingly harmonious effect. For example, you could choose a strong navy blue for your kitchen cabinets, combined with a lighter shade of blue tiles for the walls. This enhances the feeling of space by helping everything to flow together, so it works very well in smaller kitchens.
Another option is to tone classic colour combinations together, such as blue and green, or grey and green. Choose one colour for your floor tiles and a contrasting colour for the walls or worktops.
The biggest trends may be towards pattern and colour this year, but there’s still a place for quiet understatement. If you prefer your home to be a serene sanctuary from the outside world, then neutral coloured tiles could be the right choice for you. Look for subtle textures to add some interest.
Neutral colour such as light beige and soft greys contrast perfectly with natural wood cabinetry. Add some greenery for the perfect finishing touch to make your kitchen feel like a wonderfully calm and relaxing space.
If you find the raw urban industrial look appealing, then tiles that can replicate the texture and tone of concrete are an excellent choice. These contrast perfectly with stainless steel fixtures and fittings and areas of exposed brickwork and piping.
For a more glam take on urban chic, you could opt for tiles with a brushed metallic finish. These tiles will help to reflect the light and are perfect for creating a stunning focal point for your kitchen.
