If you’re looking for a simple way to add some serious style and class to your kitchen, it may be worth considering one of the many tiling styles that influence designers, far and wide.
While the idea of using tiling in the kitchen is fairly traditional, it’s certainly not an idea that has got old or gone out of fashion. With the wide range of tiling styles and designs available now, you’ll have the freedom to create a look that is as modern or traditional as you like!
Single colour simplicity – For a simple and classic look, why not choose one colour and tile backsplashes or countertops with the tile of your choice? One thing we love about this simple tiling style is that it can be easily tailored to your own style and personality – it’s all about picking the right colour and texture to reflect your needs.

Metallic luxe – For a dramatic effect and focal point in your kitchen, we recommend thinking outside of the box and opting for metallics. They’re a great choice for those seeking a modern, minimalist look and add a touch of luxury to your dining space too.

Perfectly personal– If you’ve got a love of all things fabulously floral, or you admire marvellous mosaic designs – why not incorporate your favourite design into your kitchen? There’s a whole range of great patterns available when it comes to tiles and opting for ones with a patterned design add that touch of beauty and fun!

Natural touch – You can find so many tiles inspired by natural materials like wood, brick and concrete, all available in warm earthy tones and neutrals. These are great for adding an organic, homely touch to your kitchen and help to create that rustic, farmhouse kitchen look.

Retro rules – Remember those terracotta and lemon infused kitchens, reminiscent of Mediterranean style? Well that’s exactly what we’re talking about!
There’s a wide range of retro tiles available in those rich, deep colours, featuring organic textures from years gone by. This look is great for homeowners looking to inject some warmth and Mediterranean style into their kitchen.

Creative colours– A popular way to style your kitchen tiles is by using a carefully selected range of colours that together form a complementary colour scheme.
For example, blues, greys and blacks work well together, as does the monochrome look. Alternatively for something more shabby chic you could opt for a range of pretty pastel shades.

AS SEEN ON GEORGE CLARKE’S BEAUTIFUL BUILDS: FROM DATED LAYOUT TO DREAM ENTERTAINING SPACE
When Katherine and Andrew purchased their property, they always knew a full renovation would follow.
With both the outdated kitchen and untouched garden requiring significant transformation, the project soon became part of Channel 4’s George Clarke’s Beautiful Builds – it was an opportunity they felt perfectly aligned with their vision for the property.
While searching for a local kitchen specialist, Kitchen Design Centre immediately stood out thanks to its long-standing reputation, glowing customer reviews and welcoming showroom experience.
The brief focused on creating a sleek, contemporary kitchen that would feel open, social and highly functional, while complementing the wider architectural renovation of the home.
The finished design delivers a beautifully balanced space that combines clean lines with luxurious detailing.
One of the standout features is the striking worktop design. The waterfall edge peninsula creates a bold focal point within the room, while the continuation of the material across the side panels introduces a seamless, premium aesthetic.
Functionality was equally important throughout the design process, with carefully considered storage solutions and high-quality appliances helping to simplify everyday living. Among Katherine and Andrew’s favourite additions is the Neff oven, praised for both its versatility and pyrolytic self-cleaning function.
The completed result is a sophisticated contemporary space that completely transforms how the home looks, feels, and functions, perfectly reflecting Katherine and Andrew’s original vision from the moment they moved in.
