What are the important tiling considerations for open plan kitchens?

If you are designing an open plan kitchen and living room space, with a tiled floor, there are a number of important factors to consider. These include:

  • The material choice
  • The size of the tiles
  • The colour and pattern

Choosing tile material for open plan kitchens

There are a range of tile material options for open plan kitchen including  ceramic, porcelain. Each of these material options bring unique characteristics and benefits. For example, ceramic tiles are affordable and available in a wide range of colors and patterns, but they may not be as durable as porcelain. Porcelain tiles are more resistant to scratches, stains, and moisture, making them a good choice for kitchen and living areas.

Choosing the size of the tiles for open plan spaces

The size of the tiles themselves can have a visible impact on the space as a whole. For open plan kitchen and living areas, large format tiles, such as those measuring 24 inches or more, are popular for their modern and seamless look. These use fewer grout lines and can be used effectively to achieve stylish results.

Choosing the colour and pattern of the tiles for open plan kitchens

Colour and pattern are also important tiling considerations for open plan kitchen and living areas. Light-colored tiles can make a space feel brighter and more open, while darker tiles can add warmth and depth. Neutral colors, such as beige, gray, and white, are popular for their versatility and ability to match any decor. Bold patterns and colors can add interest and personality to a space, but it is important to consider the overall design and color scheme of the room.
