Kitchen floors, photographed laid. A kitchen floor takes oil, water and dropped pans, so what matters here is not only how a tile looks but how it behaves when someone is cooking on it.

Cooking oil travels further than people expect, and oil plus water on a glossy floor is a genuine slip risk in the one room where you carry hot pans. The kitchens here that are matt underfoot are matt for that reason.
Look at how the floor and the wall behave as a pair. The kitchens that read well usually keep one of the two quiet: a patterned floor with a plain backsplash, or a plain floor with a feature wall behind the hob.
A kitchen floor is largely hidden by units, so the tile you see is the walkway. Plan the setting out so the full tiles land in that strip rather than the cuts.
Every photograph above links to the tile in it. To browse by design instead, see Marble & Stone, Wooden or Plain & Texture . For advice rather than photographs, read our kitchen floor tile guide.
