Choosing the right Colour matters a lot when it comes to buying new tiles. While many people love a pristine white kitchen, others may favour vibrant hues of red, blue, green or yellow. These days, customers tend to go for a more neutral approach, using grey or beige tones, that will likely go with any other colour in the spectrum.

Lighter tones may be less practical for experimental cooks or energetic households with children, whilst intricate patterns may be too loud and disorienting for the partially sighted. Then there’s the black-and-white checkerboard effect; a popular theme that depicts a 1950s American diner or Victorian hall. If your kitchen is small, then lighter coloured tiles, especially ones with a high gloss finish, can make the room appear larger and more spacious.
