1. Porcelain tile kitchen flooring is a winner.
The first trend that deserves your attention has to do with the material of manufacture of kitchen tiles. In this sense, porcelain stoneware is the real star at present. Here are the reasons why:
- It is tremendously resistant. Not only to the blows, which are very common in this room of the house. It is also resistant to wear and tear. After more than 20 years of use, this type of kitchen floor looks exactly as it did at the beginning.
- It does not require maintenance. In other words, it does not need to be polished, as is the case, for example, with marble or other types of natural stone.
- Easy to clean. Porcelain stoneware is not a porous material and, therefore, does not absorb moisture or dirt. This means that you can clean it quickly with a simple mop, water and a specific product.
- It does not slip. This is mainly due to the fact that it is treated before sale with products that give it anti-slip qualities. Don’t forget that the kitchen is, after the bathroom, the place in the house where most domestic accidents occur due to slipping.
- Variety of designs. Undoubtedly, its main aesthetic quality. Porcelain stoneware can imitate the aesthetics of any other type of floor. From those made with wood to those made with stone or cement.
As if that were not enough, porcelain stoneware kitchen floors are available in a wide variety of formats. In our catalog you will discover square, rectangular, small or large tiles, or even hexagonal and octagonal tiles.
2. Tile carpets to delimit spaces.
There are many interesting tricks and ideas when it comes to renovating a small kitchen. One of the trends that is attracting the most attention is to create a carpet of tiles with which to visually delimit the space.
Usually, these rugs are placed in the place where the kitchen table will be placed. They are formed with tiles with a design different from the rest and that attracts attention. Undoubtedly, the hydraulic imitation pavements are the most demanded for this purpose.
3. Retro and vintage is more fashionable than ever.
Since we just made reference to faux hydraulic kitchen tiles, we can’t let any more time pass before talking about this trend. The reason? They go hand in hand.
We cannot forget that, until well into the 1960s, hydraulic floors were the protagonists in most Spanish homes. However, the emergence of new trends and materials caused them to lose a prominence that they have now regained.
The retro and vintage trends when designing a kitchen are evident in the 1900 collection of Vives. As you can see, they are characterized by:
- Mosaics and geometric shapes.
- The combination of white with warm colors such as yellow, orange and brown.
- The prominence of certain cold colors such as blue, for example.
- Harmony and uniformity in design.
There is no doubt that, if you are a bold person in terms of design, you will use this type of flooring throughout your kitchen. However, if you want to be a little more cautious, you can always employ it exclusively to create the carpet tiles.
4. Whites and grays, the colors in trend in modern kitchens.
Experts in kitchen decoration know that the tastes and preferences of users change with some assiduity. This is the reason why, at the moment, whites and other light colors of the chromatic palette are so fashionable. After all, they provide a very interesting versatility for the future.
Nowadays, white kitchens are the latest trend. However, betting on tiles of this color and then combine them with dark furniture and tiles is also usually a success. Especially when you want to achieve a minimalist or Nordic style room.
The other great style that is currently trending is industrial. If you have also been carried away by its charm when designing your kitchen, you should know that gray tiles will be much more useful. At the same time, they will enhance the brightness of the space and will transmit calm and purity.
The key to get the most out of these tiles for industrial kitchens is to combine them with wood furniture and metallic elements. Undoubtedly, copper colors look great with them, but also black lacquered ones.
