Which tiles suit your kitchen or bathroom?

This time we show you which Ceramics are best suited to kitchens and bathrooms, so that both are functional, beautiful and practical for everyday life.

We spend a large part of the day in the kitchen and bathroom, so it is all the more important that we feel comfortable there. Function is the main contributor, but do not forget looks, as they strongly influence our well-being.

Tiles in the kitchen and bathroom

Ceramics are very popular in kitchens and bathrooms because they combine good looks, function and resilience. It is important to distinguish between wall and floor tiles.

Wall tiles are usually not suitable for floors. Floor tiles must be safe to walk on, while wall tiles can be completely smooth and glossy.

Tips for choosing kitchen and bathroom tiles

Before buying, think carefully about what you want to achieve, what function and quality the tiles need and which style you like.

Wall tiles in the kitchen protect the wall from dirt and moisture. Floor tiles are the best choice, because the floor takes the dirt, moisture and wear, and they are particularly hard-wearing.

Wall tiles in the Bathroom are used above all because they are waterproof, which helps prevent mould.

Bathroom floor tiles must reduce the risk of slipping on a wet floor. Before buying tiles for the kitchen or bathroom, you should consider the following points:

• Quality – It is not enough to buy tiles that are thick enough and of high quality. Laying them on the wall or floor also plays a big part. Well-laid and properly cared-for Ceramics last practically forever. So choose a good professional to lay them.
• Design – Before buying, consider whether you want a special pattern on the floor or wall, or plain tiles that blend in with your style. Also think about the format and laying pattern. Choose a style that suits you and in which you feel comfortable.
• Insulation and comfort – Very high temperatures can occur in the kitchen, so the tiles must be of high enough quality not to be damaged. At Marnit we offer very high-quality tiles as well as the increasingly popular natural stone dolomite, which, thanks to its durability, is excellent for kitchen and bathroom floors. Some Ceramics also insulate against sound, for even more peace and comfort. Choose tiles that feel pleasant, are easy to clean and are not sensitive to heavy or sharp objects falling on them.

Take the style of your furniture into account when choosing

The tiles alone already define the style of the kitchen and bathroom. If the furniture has already been decided, take it into account when choosing. Only then will the tiles fit in with your style.

You can of course also deliberately choose tiles that stand out. Consider whether you want a more modern or a more rustic effect.

In the modern style, neutral colours such as white, beige, grey and black are popular, as are high-gloss or matt large-format tiles . Typical of the rustic style are tiles in natural tones (brown, olive green, sand) and tiles with a stone, brick or wood look, which create warmth and cosiness.

In the rustic style, smaller, irregular tiles with uneven edges are popular.

There are no limits when choosing tiles. At the Marnit stonemasons we have a huge selection. You choose the tiles that make you feel completely at home.
