Why choose 300x600 kitchen tiles?

300x600 tiles work well across kitchen tiles because they are easy to handle and easy to place around everyday kitchen features.

• Easy to fit behind sinks, hobs and units
• Good for splashbacks and tall wall runs
• Flexible in brick, stacked or herringbone layouts
• Works on walls and suitable floors
• Helps small kitchens feel ordered

Layout ideas for 300x600 kitchen tiles

Brick bond is a classic choice for splashbacks and feature walls. Vertical stacked layouts can add height above worktops, while horizontal stacked lines keep things neat and simple.

Herringbone can bring movement to a focal wall or cooking zone. For full-height kitchen wall use, see the 300x600 Wall Tiles size page.

• Use brick bond behind hobs for a familiar look
• Try vertical stacking to make walls feel taller
• Use horizontal stacking for a wider feel
• Keep herringbone for feature areas
• Check cuts around sockets before fixing
• Centre the layout on the main wall feature

Grout joints, edges and colours

For 300x600 tiles, a grout joint of around 3mm is common on walls, with slightly wider joints on floors. For fuller guidance, see How Much Grout Do I Need?.

Bevelled edges give a more lined effect, while rectified edges look tighter and cleaner. Read Why Do Tiles Have A Bevelled Edge? for more on the finish. If you are choosing grout colours, matching accessories are available in grout for kitchen tiles.

• Blend grout to keep the wall calm
• Use contrast to outline each tile
• Keep joints neat around sockets
• Plan grout lines around units first
• Choose a colour that suits the tile edge
