In fact, the kitchen is the heart of your home and needs practical, visually attractive solutions that can define the interior’s style while ensuring its functionality. Not only must the materials be of excellent quality, but the end result must also be perfectly attuned to your own, personal taste.
In this article, we’ll be your guides to choosing the perfect tiling for your kitchen, able to make the whole interior both comfortable and good to look at.
Kitchen covering materials and trends
When selecting materials, it’s fundamental to ensure that they’re functional and convenient and also form a harmonious whole with the other rooms in your home. Therefore, when choosing tiling it’s essential to consider the latest trends, colors and finishes.
Kitchen tiles must withstand impacts, damp, heat and stains, so you have to opt for solutions that guarantee strength and durability. What’s more, they must be easy to clean to keep the kitchen neat and tidy.
Porcelain stoneware stands out among the various materials available on the market due to its versatility and its technical characteristics. While imitating wood, marble and stone with extreme realism, it’s also outstandingly easy to care for.
So let’s take a closer look at which factors can contribute to a kitchen’s style when it comes to choosing its materials.
Porcelain stoneware and other innovative materials
As well as combining a stylish appearance with outstanding functional performance, Ragno Ceramiche porcelain stoneware also has other very important strengths, such as sustainability and durability.
Our floor and wall tiles are manufactured using natural raw materials and production processes that minimise waste, making them an eco-friendly option that reduces environmental impact. Apart from porcelain stoneware, other materials that can enhance your kitchen’s design include ceramic tiles, mosaic and decorated or relief patterned tiles, which become genuine interior design features.
All these coverings vary in their color and finishes and fit into any style, helping you to personalise your room to suit your individual taste.
Designing coverings in continuity between the kitchen and the other rooms in the home
If you want to create a link between the living area and the other rooms of the home, especially when the kitchen forms part of an open-plan lounge-living zone, wall coverings that ensure continuity between rooms can be the right choice.
Excellent options therefore include parquet-effect stoneware with listel tiles, like those in the Boheme collection, the medium-sized square stone-effect tiles of the Tiempo and Eterna collections, or the large glossy marble-effect slabs of the Incanto collection.
If, on the other hand, you want to accentuate and define your kitchen space in contrast to the rest of your home’s flooring, decorative ceramic carpets with geometric or floral patterns are the ideal choice, placed on the floor near the countertop or as backsplash feature. Some examples? The Twig and Fizzy decorative carpets from the Decora collection to pair with a white or beige matt-finish kitchen or the Avorio carpets from the Amuri collection.
The ideal solutions for covering your kitchen’s walls
Every part of the kitchen has specific needs when it comes to coverings. So it’s important to use appropriate materials for each zone, from the walls to the hob and countertop.
Wall tiles, which provide an elegant finish and a wide range of colors and decors, are an excellent choice for the walls of your kitchen. These materials are ideal both for the walls and for all worksurfaces, including the backsplash and the areas around the hob.
Using the right covering to give your kitchen a more comfortable mood.
Coverings and finishes can help to create a mood of comfort in your kitchen. Warm and neutral shades are definitely effective here: colors like beige, terracotta, cream and brown, for example, can create a warm, cosy ambience.
These hues combine attractively with coverings in bright shades, like those in the Lucida collection, to build a tasteful, relaxing design scheme.
In addition, the inclusion of decorative features can help to give the room greater character and originality. The decorative carpets of the Amuri and Contrasti collections can be placed strategically near the dining-table to create stylish features in a taste that’s retro yet still highly contemporary.
