What tile is best for a kitchen backsplash?

Subway tile remains a timeless choice for kitchen backsplashes, but zellige and handmade styles have become increasingly popular for their texture and character. For a modern kitchen, consider large-format tiles with minimal grout lines or a bold patterned tile as a focal point behind the range.

What's the difference between wall tile and floor tile?

Floor tile must be rated for foot traffic and have a slip-resistant finish. Wall tile has more flexibility in finish and thickness. Using a floor tile on walls is fine; using wall tile on floors is not recommended unless it has a slip-resistant rating.

How much tile do I need for my project?

Measure the area in square feet (length × width) and add 10–15% for waste, cuts, and future repairs. Our interior designers can help you calculate quantities during a consultation.

What tile styles are trending right now?

The top tile trends right now include fluted 3D tiles, zellige and handcrafted ceramics with natural variation, large-format slabs, and richly veined stone-look porcelain. Earthy tones — terracotta, warm greige, and sage — are dominating both kitchen and bathroom designs.
