Some of them have been brought back from a long hiatus while others are completely new and unheard of. Here are some kitchen tiling trends you ought to try out this year:

Up To The Ceiling

Why leave the walls half covered, especially if you don’t have an upper cabinet? Leaving the area that may in the future have an upper cabinet uncovered gives the kitchen walls an incomplete look, like something’s missing. Covering the whole wall tiles creates consistency in the kitchen design, especially if you are using the same tiles for the floors. This also gives the area a sense of more open space and depending on the tiles used can increase its brightness.

Glass Tiles

Glass tiles are one of the newest trends in the market. Not just because they are cheap but also because they come in so many styles in terms of colors, sizes, shapes, gloss, finishes, etc. In the past, no one would have considered placing them on the walls due to fear of shattering them with a metal utensil or burning them due to heat. But between tempered glass and fiberglass, brittleness is no longer an issue. Glass made using recycled bottles have been especially popular among the environmentally conscious because they prevent landfills, plus the tiles can be recycled again. They are also really easy to clean with soapy water 

Mirrored Metal Tiles

If you really love shiny kitchens you should consider mirror or metal tiles next time you go for a tile repair in Parker, CO. Mirrors reflect light really well which can help you brighten up your kitchen if your kitchen doesn’t get too much sunlight. Depending on the type of metal you use, you get different hues that color the area in beautiful shades like coppery red, bronze brown, etc. Covering the whole wall really brightens the area a lot.

Dark Grout

In the beginning, it was exclusively meant for white subway tiles for the contrast they gave but soon more and more people realized that dark grout goes with just about every color imaginable. They complement light colors and supplement darker shades. Matching light-colored tiles with grout of a darker shade of the same hue will create a popup effect that gives the kitchen backsplash an elegant effect. It’s perfect for you if you are more into subtle designs. It’s best for walls where they are less likely to suffer wear and tear from footfall.

Wide Subway Tiles

Subway tiles have been very popular among homeowners for their design and functionality as they are easy to clean and give the kitchen a neat and bright look. Commonly used with dark grout, it gives the walls a neat contrasting texture. 3” x 6” is the most popular dimension but more people are going for larger dimensions like 4” x 8” or 4” x 12”. Larger tiles don’t just look different, they make the kitchen look larger than it is especially if installed up to the ceiling which is helpful for small kitchens. Plus, they need less grout which makes them much easier to maintain.

Patterned Tiles

Solid colors are going out of style because of how plain they can seem. People are now going for tiles with patterns. Morrocan, Moorish and Portuguese styles are quite popular in the country these days. If you like making bold statements, you can definitely try waterjet patterns. Not all patterns work for every kitchen though, you should consider how well these patterns will match your cabinets, countertops, sink, etc. before going for installation.

These are some popular kitchen tiling trends that will most likely last for years to come.
