Kitchen Wall Tiles
Kitchen wall tiles are an excellent way to protect surfaces from everyday splashes, cooking stains and moisture. Use them behind your hob, sink or worktops to create a practical splashback, or tile a larger area to make a statement feature wall. Discover our latest guide to kitchen splash backs here.
Metro tiles remain a popular choice for kitchens and can be installed in a range of patterns, including brick bond, stacked, vertical and herringbone layouts. For a more decorative finish, consider patterned, Moroccan-inspired, encaustic-effect or mosaic kitchen tiles.
Kitchen Floor Tiles
Kitchen floor tiles need to withstand regular foot traffic, spills and daily use. Porcelain tiles are a popular option because they are durable, low-maintenance and available in a variety of attractive finishes, including stone-effect, concrete-effect, wood-effect and marble-effect tiles.
Large-format kitchen floor tiles can create a spacious, contemporary appearance with fewer grout lines, while smaller tiles can add character and definition to traditional or country-style kitchens.
Easy-Clean and Durable Kitchen Tiles
The kitchen is one of the busiest rooms in the home, so choosing tiles that are easy to clean and maintain is important. Porcelain and glazed ceramic tiles provide practical surfaces that can be wiped clean with suitable tile-cleaning products.
Always check the manufacturer’s guidance to ensure the tile is suitable for its intended application. Consider the required slip resistance, surface finish, durability and maintenance needs before choosing kitchen floor or wall tiles.

FAQs
Kitchen tile questions
Both ceramic and porcelain tiles work well in kitchens, but porcelain is generally the better choice for kitchen floors due to its higher density, lower water absorption, and greater resistance to heavy foot traffic, dropped utensils, and spills. Ceramic tiles are a cost-effective option for kitchen walls and splashbacks where they will not be subject to the same level of wear. Browse our full range at Stoke Tiles to find both options in a wide variety of styles and finishes.
Absolutely – large format tiles such as 60x120cm or 80x80cm are a very popular choice in modern kitchens and can look equally at home in both contemporary and traditional spaces depending on the finish and colour you select. Warm-toned stone-effect or wood-effect large format tiles, for example, can add warmth and character rather than an industrial feel. Pairing them with a contrasting grout colour is another simple way to enhance the overall design aesthetic.
For kitchen splashbacks, metro tiles, glass tiles, and glazed ceramic wall tiles are all excellent choices as they are easy to wipe clean and can handle the occasional splash of cooking grease or water. Stone-effect porcelain tiles are also a stylish option if you want a seamless look that ties in with your kitchen floor. Whichever tile you choose, make sure it is rated for wall use and check whether it requires sealing to remain easy to maintain.
Most porcelain and ceramic kitchen floor tiles are compatible with underfloor heating systems, as they conduct and retain heat efficiently. It is important to check the product specification for each tile on the Stoke Tiles website to confirm its suitability, and always follow the adhesive and grout manufacturer’s guidelines when installing tiles over a heated subfloor. Allowing the system to run through a heating and cooling cycle before grouting is also strongly recommended to prevent cracking.
Opting for neutral tones such as warm greys, off-whites, and earthy tones in a stone, concrete, or wood effect tends to give kitchens a timeless quality that does not date as quickly as bold trend-led colours. You can then introduce personality through accessories, cabinet colours, and grout choices, which are much easier to update over time. Our free sample service at Stoke Tiles lets you try tiles in your own kitchen lighting before you commit to a full order, which makes it much easier to judge long-term appeal.
