Kitchen Wall Tiles

Kitchen Wall Tiles for Every Style

Kitchen wall tiles can provide a practical surface while helping to define the overall appearance of the room. A simple splashback can introduce colour or texture, while tiling a larger wall area can create a more coordinated finish.

White and neutral tiles work well across a variety of interiors, while green, blue, patterned and textured designs can create a stronger focal point. Marble and stone effects offer a natural appearance without limiting the design to genuine stone.

Metro and Brick Tiles for Kitchens

Metro and brick tiles remain a versatile kitchen choice. They can be arranged in traditional brick bond, vertical, stacked or herringbone-inspired layouts, depending on the tile and installation requirements.

Bevelled tiles provide a more defined surface, while flat metro tiles create a cleaner and more contemporary appearance.

Choosing Kitchen Splashback Tiles

When selecting tiles for a cooking or preparation area, consider how easily the surface can be cleaned and whether the tile requires sealing. The grout colour will also affect the final appearance: matching grout creates a softer finish, while contrasting grout emphasises the layout.

Always check the individual tile specification and follow the manufacturer’s installation and maintenance guidance.

Kitchen Wall Tile FAQs

What tiles are suitable for a kitchen splashback?

Many ceramic and porcelain wall tiles can be used for kitchen splashbacks. Confirm suitability on the product page before ordering.

Are gloss or matt tiles better for a kitchen?

Both can work well. Gloss tiles reflect more light, while matt tiles provide a softer appearance. Cleaning and maintenance requirements vary by product and finish.

How high should a tiled kitchen splashback be?

This depends on the kitchen layout and design. Tiles may cover the area between the worktop and wall units or continue higher to create a feature wall.
