Where to Use Patterned Tiles in the Kitchen
Patterned tiles work well as full or half-height splashbacks behind hobs and sinks, and as feature walls behind open shelving or around windows.
They also suit statement floors or defined zones, such as a dining nook or kitchen island. Small-format options like Seoul Black Matt R11 Porcelain Tiles can offer more grip and definition on floors, while ceramic patterns such as Bourton Marine Blue suit walls and light-use floors.
- Full splashback in a bold Moroccan pattern
- Feature wall behind open shelving or a window
- Defined floor zone for a dining nook or island
- Wall-focused pattern with a plain floor for balance

Materials, Finishes and Maintenance
Glazed ceramic options, such as Bourton Marine Blue Patterned Ceramic Tiles and Lyon Cube Pattern Brown, sit alongside porcelain choices like Vintage Industrial Star, Seoul Black and Blue Matt, and Jazz Aqua and Jazz Black.
Polished porcelain, such as Oyster Pearl Cream, gives a sleek, reflective finish better suited to walls and carefully chosen floors. Glazed ceramic and porcelain are both durable, moisture-resistant and easy to wipe.
Patterned tiles tend to hide everyday marks better than plain tiles, though grout lines still need regular cleaning.
- Wipe surfaces with a mild cleaner regularly
- Clean grout lines to keep patterns looking sharp
- Avoid abrasive pads on polished finishes
