How to choose kitchen coverings

Nowadays there are so many options of coatings for different environments of the house that when deciding which one to use in each place, many questions arise. In this matter, we get the main questions about floor and wall coverings in the kitchen. Check out:

What types of flooring are ideal for cooking?

The most common coatings used on kitchen walls are tiles, glass tiles and stones. On the kitchen floor, tiles or porcelain tiles are usually used.

Tiles are the most popular in kitchen flooring and are easy to match with the floor. However it is important to be careful not to put a light tile with dark grout and vice versa.


Modern kitchens also come with glass tile coverings to cover some parts such as the wall above the sink or the whole of a wall. Pastihas are ideal for those who want to decorate creatively without needing many different materials.

Another option is to use marble stones in some areas to give the kitchen a more rustic look and contrast with the rest of the environment.

Where to use flooring in the kitchen?

The covering must be placed behind the stove and the sink. This will protect the wall from water, moisture, dirt and other substances that can damage the wall and paint. However, kitchen cladding can be used creatively on all walls, expanding the possibilities for decoration.

How to combine kitchen coatings

It is essential to maintain a balance between the wall and floor covering of the kitchen, creating a cohesive look without exaggeration. You can use a darker color on the floor and a lighter color on the walls. Another alternative is to use a pattern on the wall and to place smooth tile on the floor. Anyway, the ideal is to play with color and depth creatively, but always trying to give the environment a more natural and less loaded look.
