Which Ceramic Tiles Suit Almost Every Kitchen and Bathroom Style?

Ceramic tiles now offer looks for every indoor and outdoor space, rather than only the wet areas of the home, and stand out as a key backdrop material. With different textures, colours and thicknesses bringing them into a versatile world of design, they are favourite companions to many styles. Why not choose tiles together that will remain harmonious even when you want to change your style?

The use of ceramics to cover floors and walls, from terraces and bedrooms to kitchens and bathrooms, grows every year. Ceramic tiles enter our homes through designs that sometimes imitate other surfaces and sometimes express their most natural character. Adaptable, dynamic and long-lasting, they can take on different roles in different spaces.

Yet installing tiles is not a change we make frequently, which encourages practical choices. Selecting tiles that will suit new tastes when we decide to change our interior style, keep pace with its changing character and complement different trends requires careful thought.

This article is therefore about choosing tiles that work harmoniously with as many different looks as possible. Naturally, we want to start with kitchens and bathrooms, the two areas where tiles are used most extensively. Here are timeless tile solutions for the wet areas of our homes!

Start by identifying a few favourite colours, anticipating that you will continue to follow the same palette in future style choices. If beige, navy blue and pale blue are your favourites, for example, you could choose beige tiles. In other words, select the most neutral, complementary colour in your palette and set aside the others for the tile choice.

You can also narrow down the choice between matt and glossy surfaces according to the size of your kitchen. In a spacious kitchen, glossy tiles can provide a good balance as you experiment with bold colours and patterns.

For a small kitchen, large-format matt tiles with calm colour and texture transitions will create a complementary foundation. Colours drawn from nature can add depth without overwhelming the space.
