Modern kitchen looks you can create
Modern kitchen tiles can be used to build several distinct looks, depending on the colours and finishes you choose.
A minimal white gloss scheme using Imperial Onyx White or Volga White keeps the kitchen feeling open, bright and easy to live with.
For a bolder finish, Jazz Black Marble Effect or Super Black Polished tiles bring a glamorous, high-contrast edge to walls and floors.
Colour-pop marble styles such as Ashphar Blue, Infinity Blue, Jazz Pink and Jazz Jade add personality while keeping a contemporary feel.
- Minimal white gloss for a bright, airy kitchen
- Bold dark glamour for a striking, high-end look
- Colour-pop marble for a confident, modern statement
- All styles work on walls and floors in open-plan kitchens
Choosing sizes, finishes and layouts
Large format polished porcelain with rectified edges is popular in modern kitchens, with sizes like 600x600mm and 600x1200mm helping create a seamless, contemporary finish.
Polished finishes reflect light and suit bright, minimal schemes, while matt tiles offer a softer look and can be more forgiving with everyday marks.
Narrow grout joints work well with large format tiles, keeping the overall design clean and modern. For splashbacks and feature walls, see our Modern Kitchen Wall Tiles range.
- Straight lay for a clean, contemporary grid
- Brick bond for a classic but modern feel
- Feature island clad in matching porcelain
- Statement splashback in a bold marble-effect design
Practical benefits in busy kitchens
Polished porcelain and marble-effect tiles are built for the demands of a busy UK kitchen, combining good looks with everyday practicality.
- Highly durable surface that resists scratches and chips
