The kitchen is the heart of the home, but it is also where the maximum number of spills and splashes happen. Tiles can be used in almost all areas of the kitchen – from floor to walls to backsplash to even countertops! However, the wall area around the sink as well as the area behind the stove, is most likely where maintenance is higher. This is where kitchen wall tiles come into the picture. Kitchen wall tiles can save your walls from stubborn stains, smoke stains, and not to forget constant water usage.
Kitchen walls offer a canvas for the imaginative homeowner. Highlighter kitchen wall tiles can be used to create designs and patterns. Use a combination of different kitchen tiles shades depending on the light in your kitchen, or you can pair subdued shades of tiles to go with coloured kitchen cabinets. A unique use of kitchen wall tiles is on shelves, where newspaper is used to prevent stains.
Using glossy tiles is great in this area as they are easier to clean and do not stain easily. The kitchen wall tiles you use can be of any size, depending upon the space available – 200x300mm, 300x600mm, 300x450mm, 600x600mm, and 600x1200mm are some of the popularly opted for choices. While larger GVT tiles are preferred in muted shades, homeowners also prefer using ceramic tiles in all sizes for their kitchen walls.
