Enduring appeal, with incredible longevity. Tile may be the perfect idea for your bathroom, kitchen, mudroom, or any room where you don’t want to worry about wear and tear. Here, we explore some ideas on using tile to beautify your kitchen, creating a space that’s equally elegant and functional.

Off the Wall

Kitchens are great spaces to think out of the box when it comes to design materials. From floors to backsplash, tile can be a perfect material to bring style and easy-to-clean durability.

Vivid White Subway Tile is the perfect universal style choice for a wall backsplash, adding just the right amount of modern, sharp design appeal for any style of kitchen. However you choose to install a subway tile—in a grid pattern or offset—you can achieve a stylish look that instantly updates your space.

Wood Looks

Hardwood floors are all the rage—and believe us, we are all-in on that design choice. But, with certain rooms of your home more prone to moisture, or in high-moisture climates, tile makes for a suitable alternative. With options like Avella Ultra Elegant Wood American Walnut Porcelain Tile, LL Flooring provides the best of both worlds: the warm appearance of natural wood grain plus the benefits of tile.

Its walnut look provides the rich, welcoming appeal of hardwood, while the waterproof porcelain tile makes it great for surfaces that are prone to splashes or spills.

Stone Style

Tile flooring stands the test of time. Even older than wood floors, tile-making dates back as far as 4th-century BC in ancient Mesopotamia. So, you can rest assured that choosing a stone-look tile for your kitchen is a choice that’s backed by thousands of years of adaptable style.

A light-colored tile, like LL’s Cabrillo Gray Porcelain Tile, provides the perfect wash of soft warmth that provides a radiant and comforting glow. Its neutral tone offers a blank canvas for nearly any interior style.

Another choice that delivers a bit more drama with the same bright, natural appeal is Costa Bella Marble Porcelain Tile, which offers the appearance of classic marble with the resilience of porcelain.
