How to choose tiles for each kitchen area?
Kitchen floors
Choose kitchen floor tiles with good durability and a finish that is easy to mop. Porcelain is a common pick because it stands up to spills, heat and daily foot traffic. Larger tiles can reduce grout lines and create a more open feel in an open-plan layout.
Splashbacks and cooking zones
Kitchen wall tiles are perfect for splashbacks because they wipe clean quickly and resist heat from the cooktop. Gloss and satin finishes work well here, helping reflect light and brighten the space.
Benchtop returns and side walls
If your benchtop meets a wall or upright panel, tiles help protect the surface from water and everyday wear. Keeping the same tile as your splashback creates a unified look.
Feature walls and accents
Subway tiles, kit-kat mosaics or patterned kitchen wall tiles can add interest behind open shelving or around a breakfast bar. This works especially well in kitchens that flow into living areas, offering a subtle design moment without overwhelming the space.
Kitchen tile materials explained
Porcelain tiles
Porcelain is a dense, durable material that handles foot traffic, spills and heat with ease, which makes it ideal for kitchen floors and high-use areas. It comes in many colours and finishes and is known for being low maintenance. Many homeowners prefer porcelain for open-plan living spaces because it performs well over time and is easy to keep clean.
Ceramic tiles
Ceramic tiles are commonly used on kitchen walls and splashbacks. They are lightweight, simple to install and available in a wide range of shapes, colours and gloss levels. Ceramic tiles are easy to wipe down, which makes them a practical choice for cooking zones where oil and steam are present.
Natural stone tiles
Natural stone brings a warm, organic look to kitchen floors and feature areas. It does require sealing and more ongoing care than porcelain or ceramic, but the natural variation is a major drawcard for many homes. When maintained correctly, natural stone can create a premium, timeless finish.
What to consider before buying kitchen tiles
Durability
Kitchens need tiles that can handle daily use. Porcelain is usually the best choice for kitchen floors because it is strong, dense and resists wear better than ceramic.
Slip resistance
Most residential kitchens suit a P2 or P3 slip rating. This provides enough grip around sinks and dishwashers while still being easy to mop.
Cleaning and maintenance
Porcelain and ceramic tiles are low maintenance and clean with mild detergents. Matte finishes hide smudges on floors, while gloss tiles suit splashbacks because they wipe clean quickly.
Heat and stain resistance
For splashbacks and cooking zones, choose tiles that handle heat and resist oil splashes. Porcelain and ceramic tiles are naturally heat-resistant, which makes them ideal behind cooktops.
Grout choice
Light grout can stain in kitchens, especially near cooktops. Stain-resistant or epoxy grout helps keep the area looking fresh. Matching grout creates a seamless look, while contrast grout defines patterns.
Sealing requirements
Natural stone needs sealing to protect against oils and food stains. Porcelain and ceramic do not require sealing.
Tile size and format
Large tiles reduce grout lines and suit open-plan kitchens. For splashbacks, smaller tiles like subway, square or mosaics add detail without overwhelming the space.
Kitchen tile FAQs
Porcelain tiles are usually the best choice for kitchen floors because they are strong, water-resistant and easy to maintain. They handle foot traffic and spills well and come in many finishes to suit open-plan spaces.
Only if the product is clearly marked as suitable for floor use. Many kitchen wall tiles are not strong enough for foot traffic, so always check the specifications and follow your tiler’s advice.
Matte tiles are popular for kitchen floors because they are easier to keep looking clean. Gloss tiles work well on splashbacks and feature areas because they reflect light and are quick to wipe down after cooking.
Ceramic or porcelain wall tiles are ideal because they are heat-resistant and easy to clean. Gloss and satin finishes brighten the space and make it simpler to wipe away oil and steam residue.
Most tilers recommend ordering a little extra to allow for cuts, waste and layout adjustments. The amount varies based on tile size and room shape, so ask your tiler for guidance before finalising your order.
