Large-format tiles, available in stone or porcelain, create an upgraded look and make kitchens feel more expansive and open. Patterned or small tiles can impart a cluttered appearance and make compact kitchens feel smaller. Large tiles complement minimalist features such as marble countertops, sleek-edged cabinets, and open shelving to enhance a breathable layout. Tile floors are generally more durable and easier to maintain than wood, though they retain less heat and can feel cold underfoot. Large-format tiles reduce grout lines, simplifying cleaning. Light or neutral tile colors combined with natural light and plants maximize an airy, biophilic kitchen aesthetic.
Luckily, there's a flooring trend that makes the decision a whole lot easier: large-format tiles. No matter the material, whether they're stone or porcelain, tiles that take up large surface areas on the ground serve up an upgraded look with a big impact. Specifically, they can make your kitchen seem more expansive and open - something many of us are looking for, especially when kitchen space is at a premium.
Though tile floors have some downsides, such as poor heat retention (read: cold feet), they are typically more durable and simple to maintain than wood flooring. Further, large tile floors are even easier to clean than small tile formats, since there are less edges and crevices for dirt to accumulate in. This equates to a style and functionality win-win in the kitchen.
