Which tile material is best for a busy kitchen floor and which is better for a splashback?

For a busy kitchen floor choose porcelain because it's denser and more hard-wearing; examples included in our range include Amiata Sparkle in 600 x 600mm and 300 x 600mm, both offered for wall and floor use. For splashbacks, glazed ceramic or small-format porcelain work well, glazed metro tiles such as the 100 x 200mm Metro Bone White give a bright, wipe-clean surface. Stone is handsome but usually needs sealing and more care, so reserve it if you want the natural look and are happy with maintenance.

Can you use the same tile on both walls and floors?

Yes, several tiles in the range are rated for wall and floor use, Amiata Artemis Light Grey 600 x 600mm and the Sparkle porcelain options. Using the same tile creates a seamless look and reduces mismatch of colours and thickness. Bear in mind small wall-only ceramics, like some 75 x 300mm metro sizes, are not designed for heavy foot traffic so check the application before specifying.

What tile sizes and shapes suit a small galley kitchen versus an open-plan kitchen?

In a small galley kitchen, long narrow formats such as 75 x 300mm or 100 x 200mm metro tiles visually lengthen the room and work beautifully as splashbacks. For an open-plan kitchen, larger formats like 300 x 600mm or 600 x 600mm porcelain reduce grout lines and create a more continuous, spacious feel, Amiata Sparkle in 600 x 600mm for the floor. Square mosaics, like the 300 x 300mm pebble mosaic, are better for feature areas rather than entire floors.

How do finish and texture affect practicality and appearance in a kitchen?

Gloss finishes brighten and reflect light, making small kitchens feel larger, but they can show water spots and fingerprints more easily, good for splashbacks (gloss metro tiles). Matte, textured or "sugar" finishes hide marks and give more grip underfoot, so textured porcelain is sensible for floors. Polished marble-effect tiles offer a luxury look but need care to avoid stains, whereas glazed tiles give easier everyday cleaning.

How should you choose a tile colour or style to create a cosy versus a contemporary kitchen?

For a cosy, warm feel pick earthy or muted shades and handcrafted textures, options like Bespoke Sage 75 x 300mm or handmade/rustic styles work well. For a contemporary look go for crisp whites, black or large-format marble-effect porcelain such as the Valencia White 300 x 600mm or Sparkle Black in 600 x 600mm to make a bold statement. You can mix styles too: a matte stone-effect floor with a glossy white metro splashback balances warmth and modernity.
