The search for the best stylistic choices when decorating a kitchen often focuses on one very important factor: the tiles. Not only do they play a key role in providing the kitchen’s functional characteristics, but they are also an important ingredient in its interior design, with truly unique expressive potentials. By choosing the right tiles for your kitchen, you can define its mood and make it welcoming, intimate and also highly individual.
Available in an exceptionally wide assortment, Ragno porcelain stoneware tiles will guarantee you durability and easy care, with the perfect blend of beauty and convenience.
So let’s see how you should choose the tiles for a rustic or country-style kitchen, where the references to tradition and nature create very specific stylistic demands, such as the need to make optimal use of colors and textures, to design a room that reflects your own individual taste and style!
Characteristics of tiles for decorating a rustic kitchen: materials and colors
Porcelain stoneware is the ideal material for kitchen tiles. Well known for its durability and versatility, porcelain stoneware accurately reproduces natural materials like stone and wood, both ideal for the coverings of a rustic-style interior.
Rough and uneven surfaces can also evoke an impression of authenticity and hand-craftsmanship, helping to create a room perfectly attuned to the rustic style you’re aiming for
Choosing the color of tiles for your rustic-style kitchen
When it comes to the choice of colors, it’s best to opt for neutral and warm shades, ranging from beige to browns, grey and a light sage green. With colors like these, combined with matt or semi-matt textures, you can achieve an understated yet sophisticated aesthetic.
Using the right colors not only helps to establish a relaxing, comfortable ambience but also adds a touch of refined, discreet elegance to the kitchen. If you opt for neutral shades, you can create a kitchen which, although minimalist and restrained in its visual impact, still reflects great care and skill in the styling of its details and the choice of materials.
The Glacé collection, for example, offers an exceptionally wide assortment of shades with a hand-crafted look, perfect for designing a kitchen with a homely yet sophisticated character.
Styles of tiles for the coverings of a modern-rustic kitchen
The design of the tiles used in a rustic kitchen may include both traditional and contemporary inputs, for a modern rustic effect, striking the right balance between a hand-crafted “feel” and more contemporary furnishing.
Both tiles with geometric patterns or floral decors and designs with simpler, more modern lines fit perfectly into a rustic context, especially when combined with suitable materials, such as wood-effect stoneware, in the room’s other finishes.
Geometric pattern tiles evoke tradition, while tiles that imitate the look of natural stone are able to create greater continuity with the outdoor environment, emphasising the link to nature typical of the rustic style.
The latest innovations in porcelain stoneware tile design offer infinite potentials for personalisation, to make every part of your kitchen distinctive and fascinating.
Stone-effect stoneware tiles: the ideal choice for the wall of a rustic kitchen
Elegant and infinitely attractive, stone-effect stoneware wall tiles are an excellent choice for your rustic-style kitchen. Ragno’s porcelain stoneware tiles from the Eterna collection accurately imitate the shades of natural stones, combining all these materials’ beauty with the technical properties of stoneware. This collection is available in three shades, Arena, Greige and Blanco, adorned with subtle graphic patterning for a classical yet highly individual final effect.
The finish of stone-effect porcelain stoneware tiles is strikingly similar to the look and textures of the real stone walls typically found in country farmhouses. This not only helps to create the right appealing mood but also contributes a distinctive touch to the interior.
It’s a design choice that fits perfectly with simple furniture with curved, informal lines to create an authentic, comfortable kitchen. As an alternative, combining these tiles with more contemporary furniture can create an intriguing contrast, which blends the antique with the modern, craftsmanship with innovation and tranquillity with dynamism, generating a fascinating, aesthetically stimulating stylistic mix.
Choosing the floor tiles for a house in the country
The best floor tiles for a house in the country will fit perfectly into their surroundings, both inside and outside the home.
The well-matched use of materials, colors and finishes throughout all the rooms helps to create an impression of continuity and consistency, so the rustic style of the kitchen doesn’t clash with the other parts of the house.
To achieve this you could choose terracotta-effect or concrete-effect stoneware floor tiles for your kitchen, with the alternative of neutral surfaces or coverings enabling a high degree of personalisation. For example, the Ragno catalogue contains the Amuri collection, available in a wide array of textures, colors and decors, or the Abitare collection, catering for anyone seeking colors in warmer shades.
Stylistic consistency is more than just an aesthetic issue: it plays a crucial role in establishing an impression of calm and order. In a house in the country, where peace and tranquillity are essential, kitchen tiles play a fundamental role in ensuring that the design maintains a coherent mood and creating a peaceful, inviting interior.
