Polished floor tiles
Polished porcelain tiles are known for adding a luxurious element to kitchen floors.

Terrazzo tiles
Terrazzo tiles have been around for hundreds of years but they’ve recently undergone a style revival and are enjoying a well-earned moment in the spotlight.
Terrazzo tiles work brilliantly in modern kitchen designs and they can be used alongside all other tile types. We love the subtle use of terrazzo in this contemporary kitchen, it blends beautifully with the natural wood flooring, providing a practical and durable surface in the working kitchen area.
Terrazzo-effect porcelain tiles contain coloured chips of varying sizes and many have a neutral base colour, making them ideal for use in neutral colour schemes.

Tumbled marble splashback
The worn texture and smooth, matte surface of tumbled stone tiles make them an excellent solution in traditional kitchens.
Adding texture and cosiness, tumbled marble will make a beautiful addition to your kitchen. Because the tumbling process creates an uneven surface, you will need to seal marble tiles to prevent staining.

Are beige tiles coming back?
Beige tiles may be seen as dated, but buff-coloured tiles have always been in style. Although cooler neutrals like greys and whites have stolen the spotlight in recent years, there has been a definite shift to warmer tones.
Neutral-coloured tiles have many advantages; they’re timeless, go with everything, you’ll have the best pick when it comes to choosing tiles and they will look great in all styles of home.
What colours go with beige kitchen tiles?
Beige tiles are a brilliant option for kitchens as they sit well against all colours of kitchen cabinets and fit in with all design styles. If you like strong contrasts, pair beige tiles with black or navy blue kitchen cabinets. If you prefer a more neutral scheme, beige tiles look beautiful with cream, sage green, white and natural wood.
Top tips for beige tiled kitchens
There are many advantages to choosing beige tiles for your kitchen, not least that you’ll be unlikely to go off them and they’ll go with all other colours. If you’ve got your heart set on tiles in this gorgeous earthy tone, here’s what we recommend:
Combine textures – Neutral-coloured kitchens are among the most attractive but can sometimes lack interest. Use different textures and styles of tile to create an aesthetically pleasing space. We love the combinations of terrazzo and wood, glossy and matte tiles, natural stone and porcelain and rough and smooth textures.
Add colour – Beige tiles provide a neutral backdrop, against which you can introduce a wide
range of colours. Try beige and black, beige and white, beige and green and even beige and pink.
Get creative – If you’ve chosen a neutral colour scheme, why not get creative with your tile layout? Metro tiles in particular can be laid in a wide range of patterns from classic herringbone and brick bond to modern vertical stack and basketweave designs.
