One of the most important design decisions you can make is whether or not to change the flooring in your kitchen. A focal point of Ireland designs and ideas or an edgy modern style can be achieved with colorful or patterned tiles.
A conventional tile floor can lay a timeless foundation for the rest of your kitchen that won’t date and can recede, allowing other components to take center stage, such as kitchen backsplash tiles.
Decorative floor tiles can give a small kitchen presence or offer a minimalist area personality. Installing ornamental tile can help give a galley-style, U-shaped, or open-concept kitchen a feeling of distinction, depending on the layout.
Look at these kitchens, which come in a variety of shapes and sizes, and which give character, individuality, and functionality to the busiest room in the house by incorporating both traditional and novel uses for floor tiles.
Determine Classic Checkerboard.
A traditional black and white marble checkerboard flooring is always a good choice. These marble floor tiles from Floors of Stone, which have a tumbled edge to give them the appearance of reclaimed stone and create a timeless vibe that will never go out of style, are used in this English Victorian villa kitchen from deVOL Kitchens.
Moroccan-style additions
Black-and-white Moroccan-style floor tiles in a star pattern contrast sharply with the cabinetry and central island, which are painted in International Klein Blue in this clean, contemporary Parisian kitchen from Space Factory.
Terracotta maintains the tradition.
For people who value the traditional and classic and are drawn to earthy finishes and Tuscan-style design, terracotta is a tried-and-true material to use for kitchen floor tiling. Terracotta tiles from Floors of Stone are used in this traditional English kitchen design by deVOL Kitchens. For a traditional high-contrast design, white-hued walls and cabinetry match the dark rust of the floor tiles.
Maximize Your Graphics
From the zigzag floor tiles to the black-painted, wall-to-wall cabinetry with a bright white accent, this colorful Boston Victorian home renovation by NYC-based Michelle Gerson Interiors offers a dramatic story.
Support Flower Power
A floor with patterned tiles in vivid colors of blue gives this all-white kitchen from Hamsa Home a boost of feel-good flower power energy.
Mona Ying Reeves, a San Mateo, California-based graphic designer, should be added. A Spanish bungalow from the 1920s in San Bruno was recently modernized, giving the dingy, gloomy interior a fresh, coastal feel. A royal blue range and hood bring a splash of color to the kitchen, and Clé Tile flooring with a black-and-white pattern adds a geometric element.
Improve the mood
Penny tiles can be used alone or arranged in any manner you like. This daisy chain floor defines the kitchen from Blakes London in an open-concept layout. The lively pattern is depicted in white and green tones to match the kitchen’s color scheme, giving the beautiful design a fun touch.
Make Cutbacks
In a one-bedroom apartment in Paris created by Neva Interior Design, a striking floor tile serves to define the small L-shaped kitchen that is squeezed into the corner of a small open plan living, dining, and kitchen area. The visually distinct, bright tile patch breaks up the room’s long, linear shape and visually divides it from the surrounding region. The room’s white walls and navy cabinetry are the perfect complement to a vast abstract geometric pattern in white, black, and blue. This pattern also gives the interior design a unique and unforgettable vibe.
Enjoy Patterning
A looping pattern on the black-and-white graphic tile in this kitchen by Caroline Andréoni Interior Design Studio resembles fish scales, roof tiles, or anything else you may see in an ink blot floor design. The backsplash tiles are glossy and textured white, yet the tile gives the kitchen’s straight lines and dark wood cabinets some life and some curves without competing with them.
Review a Classic Color Combination
This modern wet bar from Jean Liu Design features a fresh spin on a vintage pink and black color scheme that is set off by stylish stainless steel appliances.
Build a zigzag border.
Red and white tile flooring with a huge abstract geometric pattern defines the kitchen space in this eye-catching English kitchen from Blakes London. Open to the rest of the house, the tile is neatly inlaid with the adjacent wood floor in a zigzag pattern that contrasts with the tile’s freeform nature and effectively divides the space into other spaces.
Put Down Some Bricks
This We Are True Home kitchen renovation’s thin brick tile floor was inspired by traditional European flooring. The herringbone pattern and variety of white and terracotta tones provide a splash of color and complexity to the brick tiling.
Use Pastel Penny Tiles A penny tile floor with both white and peachy colored tiles that are a hint to the copper of a real penny, and match the sage green cabinets, is used to define the kitchen area in this small Paris studio from Neva Interior Design.
Give it a clever spin.
The small-scale tiles in this Paris studio kitchen floor installation by Neva Interior Design provide a creative touch by being arranged in a haphazard pattern that spills into the surrounding oak floors like a few dropped pennies.
A timeless approach
The ground-floor English kitchen from deVOL Kitchens is open to the outdoors and features a traditional diamond-shaped kitchen floor that complements the traditional and timeless design while letting the color accents in various hues of green stand out.
Incorporate Soft Texture
This eat-in kitchen from Caroline Andréoni Interior Design Studio features a delicate terrazzo floor in neutral colors that gives a sense of texture and a tonal difference from the rest of the room. You can choose to go as flamboyant and colorful or as subdued and classic as you’d like because terrazzo is a versatile material that is available in a variety of hues and designs.
Give the pantry a unique character.
Many homeowners decide to install hardwood floors throughout the kitchen to create a seamless appearance with the rest of an open-plan home. Patterned floor tile defines and adds decoration to a pantry off the kitchen in this Orange County, California makeover by Mindy Gayer Design Co.
In a Mini Loft, add Clarification.
A modest open kitchen is located in this miniature apartment from the Paris-based Space Factory on a platform that is slightly elevated to make room for pipes and wires. In contrast, the shiny white cabinets, white subway tile backsplash, and OSB kitchen island, a softly patterned tile floor with an airy diamond-shaped pattern help define the area.
