Tile in the kitchen interior in Scandinavian style

Considering that the kitchen is one of the most passable places in an apartment or house, it is worth paying attention when purchasing operational characteristics - strength, durability.

Tiles for kitchen space finishing

• By type of material floor tiles For the kitchen can be made of ceramics (tiles), out of porcelain stoneware or quartz-vinyl. Answer a question that is better for the kitchen, an overview of the advantages and disadvantages of each option is below.

• By method of production Select extruded and extruded. The second has a more porous structure and is suitable for finishing the external space. The extruded proven itself as a durable, moisture-proof and practical tile for decoration of residential premises, including kitchenware.
• By type of surface Allocate glazed and unlawed. At the first version, a smooth surface with a special coating allows to achieve maximum strength and moisture resistance, but at the same time and highly slipping. But the glazed for the kitchen will still be better, and it is possible to minimize the flaw by choosing a rough surface.

Advantages and disadvantages of different types

Ceramics (tile)

Pluses of the tile:

• high strength, can withstand the drop even heavy items;
• low cost and better value ratio;
• easy to care. Tile not afraid of washing chemicals and easy to clean up pollution that for the kitchen is an important factor;
• durability. Life service life outdoor coating - from 15 years;
• moisture resistance. Unlike laminate or parquet, the floor ceramic tile for the kitchen will become a more reasonable solution;
• refractory. With fire, it does not burn, and when exposed to high temperatures, it is not deformed;
• resistance to ultraviolet. This means that the drawing will not burn out in the solar kitchen;
• ecology. The material does not highlight harmful substances and safe for health;
• large selection of interior solutions. Using the direction of the picture, you can visually fix the form of the room. You can pick up the design for the kitchen of any size and any style;
• you can quickly and easily replace a locally damaged area, rather than change the entire floor.

To rightly note I. disadvantages of tile:

• bad soundproofing;
• cold material;
• troublesome installation due to the need to eliminate emptiness before installing, floor alignment;
• slipping surface.

All listed disadvantages are solved with various methods. For example, minus with bad sound insulation can be easily eliminated if you pave an additional layer of special soundproofing material.

Cold tile will be warmer if installing the "warm floor" system. Good thermal conductivity allows you to do it.

The surface will become less slippery and traumatic, if you choose not a smooth coating, but a rough, relief and with a certain coefficient of friction. Detailed recommendations on how to choose the option that is suitable for the kitchen will be discussed below.

Preparation of the working surface and installation is the only thing that does not need to save either the time or forces.

Ceramographic

For objectivity, consider also another option tile on the floor to the kitchen - from Ceramographer.

Tile in the industrial interior with elements of minimalism

The main competition in the ceramic floor is the following qualities:

• strestivity of the pattern. Thanks to the special production technology, the figure is not on the surface, like a tile, but as if inside the layer. And without additional enamel drawing, even with intensive loads, will not be raised and pale, which you will not say about the tile, which, with a large period of operation, can lose attractiveness;
• strength. If you observe all the requirements for high-quality laying, it will be very difficult to break such a coating or even slightly damage.

The main disadvantages that make the main competitor - ceramics, more popular - high price, complexity of transportation and styling. Due to the fragility of the material itself, many people simply refuse him in favor of the tile.

Quartz-vinyl floor

Another option gaining the popularity of tiled floor - quartz-vinyl. Due to the high wear-resistant characteristics, it can be safely used in the kitchen.

Unlike the previous ones, this option has one essential plus - the floor from this tile will not be cold. Other benefits are a large selection of fixation options (for glue, locks, etc.) and non-slip surface.

Quartzinyl floor

In this case, it is also necessary to carefully prepare the surface before laying. And the material itself is transported due to its gravity as harmonious as a porcelain stoneware.

As for the choice of design, the tiled floor, the flooring of porcelain stoneware or vinyl can be selected for any interior of the kitchen. In the manufacturers catalogs there are imitating wood solutions, ceramic parquet resembling stone and others natural materials.

Floor tiles will serve for many years and will not lose its attractiveness if you need to know about the indicators of its quality before buying. You can also learn about it from the video:

1. Tile should be outdoor. The wall tile is unacceptable to lay on the floor, but to do on the contrary - to lay outdoor tiles on the walls, you can. To track this option, look for a foot sign on the package.
2. Tile should have a wear resistance class not lowerPEI- III. The class is denoted by a scale from 1 to 5.
3. The degree of hardness is at least 7. This parameter is determined on the Moss scale from 1 to 10.
4. The friction coefficient must be at least 0.75. This parameter allows you to select a non-slip tile, which means more secure.
5. Resistance to moisture - from 3% and labeling AA. From the ability to absorb water depends on the service life of the floor. Porous types of tiles will absorb moisture more. AA marking means chemical resistance, aggressive cleaning agents.
6. Choose the first grade. The higher the tile grade, the higher the percentage of marriage. At the tile of the first grade it is minimal - 5%. For comparison, the third is 25%.

Prefer proven brands

• Kerama Marazzi (Italy and the Russian Federation). Price per sq.m. on average - 600 rubles;
• Ceramin (Belarus). Price per sq.m. on average - 620 rubles;
• Cersanit (Poland). Price per sq.m. on average - 700 rubles;
• Ceramica Paradyz (Poland). Price per sq.m. on average - 1300 rubles;
• Golden Tile (Ukraine). Price per sq.m. on average - 600 rubles;
• FAP Ceramiche (Italy). Price per sq.m. On average - 1500 rubles.

For clarity below, the parameters and their designations are presented. Their knowledge will help to quickly navigate when buying.

Size and format

Traditionally, the tile is produced in a rectangular and square form. Rarely, it can be found in some manufacturers of trapezoid, hexagonal formats.

The following type sizes are found:

• 20 by 20 cm;
• 25 by 25 cm;
• 20 by 30 cm;
• 30 per 40;
• 40 40 cm.

There are options with dimensions other than the standard listed above by 1-5 cm.

The small tile of formats 15 by 15 cm or 10, 10 cm is not so practical, and it is rare in the kitchen.

The size and format of the tile is important, because Their choice affects the cost, the degree of complexity and closure of the installation and the number of waste. To accept a rational solution and calculate the desired number, follow the recommendations below.

1. Tile width is a multiple width, the length of the room.

it perfect optionWhen it is required to trim the minimum number of tiles, and the laying itself will pass faster.

1. Consider the caliber.

The fact is that not all manufacturers make tile with the exact dimensions specified on the package or in the directory. Always remember that the caliber in reality will differ in the tenths of centimeters (5-7 mm). This is not a marriage, but a feature of production.

It is important that on all packages the deviation of the actual and nominal value was the same.

Good manufacturers pre-sort the tile on the caliber. In unreliable manufacturers in one box there may be a tile with large deviations in width and length.

Rectified tile is more expensive, because Cropped at the factory for precisely specified parameters and can be laid almost without seams.

1. Make a pre-accurate calculation.

When choosing a traditional form and sized size, you can calculate the amount of material yourself. This can be done in two ways (see the photo below).

Now in many building stores, as a rule, help with the calculation of the material consumption, if you already intend to buy it in this place. In this case, the service will be absolutely free.

Always remember that even with a thorough calculation you need to take 10-15% with a reserve.

Choose styling

Using a specific layout method, you can achieve a certain effect. For example, visually expand the room.

• Traditional way is the easiest. Suitable for monophonic floor or with neutral, chess pattern.

• The way offset - looks original and will become excellent, if you want to do interesting designhaving a monophonic and nonsense tile.

Beautiful matte tile under the tree

• Diagonal laying - Solution for a small area. With this method, you can lengthen the room. It looks like this option beautifully, but perfectly perform it without at least the basic skills of working with laying is very difficult.

• Christmas tree. This type creates the imitation of the parquet. For work requires a rectangular form. This option is also composed of realization without experience.

• Christmas tree with an attmist. Small inserts allow you to create unusual compositions and diversify one-photon coating with bright splashes.
• Modular grid. Such a pattern is difficult to design yourself. Such work is better to entrust specialists.

Choose design

Tree or ceramic parquet

For imitation of the laminate, more often release small rectangular tiles-smells from porcelain stoneware. For imitation parquet more fits ceramics.

Paul under the shaped tree in the kitchen in the Loft style

This paper design will be an ideal solution for classic interior or an interior in the industrial style.

Under a stone

Most often, the same porcelain stoneware is chosen for imitation of the stone. With high-quality installation, such a floor will be almost indistinguishable from the natural, natural fellow.

Multicolored or patterned

You can combine color or tile with patterns and patterns with one-time.

The carpet, laid out of the tile, looks unusual
and dilute minimalistic design

It is also better to combine too late with a monophonic one, neutral. Otherwise, you risk creating a feeling of chaos indoors.

Light tile

The floor of light shades is more practical than the dark, because it is less noticeable divorces, crumbs and other contaminants.

Dark floor

Dark palette can be brave designer decision Depending on the selected style, but it is desirable to dilute dark tones in small quantities.

Dark floor with contrasting, light grout

For small cuisine

For small areas, it is not too large, without a bright pattern, mainly monophonic or containing no more than 3-colors. In the selection of color, preference must be given to light options.

Diagonal layout or "Christmas tree" will expand the space.

For narrow kitchen A rectangular tile with a transverse layout is suitable.

10 ideas for the kitchen in a private house

Private house is characterized by a large kitchen spacewhich allows you to use various options Styling in combination with large and medium-sized tiles.

Paul design should be harmonized with other interior objects: apron, furniture, accessories.

Here you can safely experiment with patterns.

In the design of the flooring for the kitchen there are several universal tips that will make a harmonious environment.

1. One bright accent.

If the overall design of the interior in the restrained color scheme, then let the floor become a central decoration. The ornament on the tile will be the main bright accent.

Most often, the floor finish is only the background and preference is given to neutral, basic tones (gray, beige, brown and their other similar shades).

1. Consider the degree of illumination.

The dark or cold shade of the floor will look in a poorly lit kitchen. But the warm and bright shade will transform the sullen room.

1. Matte is practical.

The glossy tile looks attractive and creates a feeling of purity. But on the Moss scale, it cannot be stronger than 5-6 points. Because of its fragility, it is inferior to matte popularity. Photo 36.

1. Select the grout depending on the general design.

Contrast seams look great in the kitchen in the loft style and on the background of a monochrome, white floor.

For seams of multicolored compositions, designers advise to choose the grout color to the tone of the most common color.

It is desirable that in the composition of the grout contained special substances that prevent the appearance of fungus, mold and simplifying everyday care for the flooring.

A selection of photos of beautiful floors with a tile in the interior will wash find the perfect option for your kitchen.

Tile for decoring the kitchen - the most popular material today. You can only limit the apron for the working area, and you can lay out a completely wall, gender and even the ceiling! The photo, as the tile looks in the kitchen interior (including outdoor), can be viewed below.

What you need to know when buying tiles for the kitchen?

One of the advantages of using tiles in the kitchen is the long-term use of it. Tile (of which it would not be done) are many more than more than many other materials for decorating walls and gender. However, it can become a significant disadvantage, because if the tile in a couple of years will burst, then it will change it much more problematic and more expensive than, for example, to cross the wallpaper.

So, we denote the basic principles of buying tiles for the kitchen:

1. Tile must be chosen only after the project of the future interior will be created or at least a complete idea of \u200b\u200bwhat result you expect to see in the end. If a kitchen set It is already available (and you do not plan to update it), then the tile must be combined with it. The tile can be contrasting, maybe in the tone, it may be of the same color, but for several tones darker or lighter - it all depends solely on your taste. Special attention should be paid to the combination of countertops with tiles.

Modern computer technologies allow even a newcomer to create two-dimensional collages or full-fledged three-dimensional models of repaired space. It is advisable to create collages from real photos of those subjects that you plan to post in your kitchen. This will allow you visually, and not with the help of imagination, to evaluate how much it will be combined and harmony with each other. But be sure to remember that the accuracy of the shades transmission directly depends on the monitor settings of your personal computer.

2. Never buy a tile with an accuracy of a piece! We categorically against useless waste of money for the purchase and place to store kilograms of tile, which is a dead cargo somewhere in the storage room and will only interfere. However, buying the tile "meter to meter" - also not worth it. No one is insured against force majeure. Wall tile can split during installation or be improper incorrectly, may fall something heavy down, which will crack the floor tile, and I may have a wiring or a floor heating system and the masonry will need to be disassembled - the variants of the set. And the almost insignificant probability that you get to buy exactly the same tile as it was. Even if it is from the catalog - another batch of manufacture may differ with a shade or size of several millimeters, which will be very sharp. Therefore, it is necessary to acquire a tile with a small margin. Experts recommend calculating this stock as 10-15% of the total.

3. On the sites of many online stores of construction and finishing materials, you can meet such an additional service as "the calculation of the required number of tiles for repair". Why not trust professionals? However, as folk wisdom says, trust, but check: it is possible that the number of tiles can be calculated with a large reserve, which, according to the result, you do not need at all. Moreover, such services are extremely rarely accompanied by special treaties and are exclusively advisory. Therefore, the online store has the full right not to take extra boxes with tiles and any claim on your part.

4. Returning the tile (not even in the online store, and the usual) is a delicate matter. Since this is a finishing material that is sold on meters, even when saving the integrity of the packaging, the store on legal grounds may refuse to accept it back. Exception is decorative tiles And borders / friezes (which you can use to decorate apron) if they are sold in one thing. That is why, if you are not sure in your calculations, it is worth discussing in advance with the store manager the possibility of refunding tiles.

5. All the tiles must be carefully examined. Even the fact that externally package may look entire and intact, does not guarantee the absence inside the defective, broken tiles or tiles with chips. Therefore, be sure to pick up the tile, do not hesitate to check it completely.

6. Never buy a tile of the first size of the size! Even if you like the drawing, it is worth going to choose a tile size especially carefully. The fact that a large tile will look badly in, and a small mosaic visually narrows space on the Internet written quite a few. But that's not the point. Because of the incorrectly selected size (especially if the tile is selected for the apron) the tile will have to cut, because of which the drawing will look very "not very", and a lot of tiles will be simply thrown into the garbage, and the forces nerves will spend on this process lot. Of course, you can adjust the placement of the tile using the width of the joints, but it is better to calculate with the help of a roulette, which size of the floor tiles and walls is perfect, without additional cutting and other things.

In the shops of building and finishing materials, there are special crossbars for laying tiles that help to make all the joints equally smooth. Their size can vary from a pair of millimeters to a centimeter.

7. When choosing a tile, take into account not only its appearance, but also functionality. If the main task is to withstand constant temperature differences and a huge amount of moisture, then for kitchen tile The main enemies are fat and soot. Despite the fact that the embossed tile is very beautiful, dirt from the cooking process with it will be harvested more difficult than with the usual smooth tile. In addition, the tile should be protected from the impact of chemical means so that it does not deteriorate its appearance during harvesting. As a rule, such types of tiles are indicated by the AA marking.

As well as the tile for the bathroom, the tile for the kitchen is exposed to water. And that the divorces from lime in the water are less than the eyes, instead of a glossy surface, it is better to choose a matte. At least where splashes come regularly.

What types of tiles are there?

Ceramic

Price on ceramic tiles - The most democratic, and the design is the most diverse. Ceramic tile is a mixture of sand, clay and minerals, which is burned and covered with icing. It happens:

• With deposition
• Matte
• Glossy

Such tiles can be combined with more expensive types of tiles.

Ceramographic

Porcelain tile is considered the most durable. It is made from a mixture of akin to the porcelain, but the stone resembles the stone. The porcelain stoneware is ideal for decorating the floor in the kitchen, because even the filled refrigerator it will not just stand, but also will retain its appearance. In addition, such a tile actually does not absorb water.

Stone

Stone tile - Looks very stylish. But it is not recommended to fulfill her kitchen. Since it is made of natural stone, the stone tile has a high texturance that visually narrows the space. It is enough to arrange one wall or some elements, such as a apron.

A tabletop of cutting or dinner can be made of a stone. The tile for the apron, chosen in drawing, color and texture like the countertops, will become its logical continuation and original decision in the interior.

Glass

It is not difficult to guess that the glass tile is made of glass. She may be:

• Glossy
• Matte
• Transparent
• Color

Thanks to the glare, which bloom on the surface of the glass tile, your kitchen will always sparkle and blur. Such a tile does not require special cleaning, but periodically it costs to wipe it with special gem care products.

Form and method of laying

Parquet

Laying in the form of a parquet is a laid out of narrow long tiles with a Christmas tree or pigtail (perpendicular to each other, an angle up). In the interior looks rather unusual and interesting.

Since the aesthetic effect lies in the laying method, the tile is better to choose neutral, monophonic (without pictures). But no one forbates to you to combine several colors: the main thing is that the tiles were one series.

The inconvenience of the laying is that along the edges of the tile room will definitely have to cut. To simplify the task and save on the materials - pick up square tiles in the tone and cut them on the diagonal.

Diagonal masonry

With diagonal tile laying are placed diagonally. This method of laying outdoor tiles will visually expand the space. But on the walls the effect can be reverse. Undoubted advantage is that the curvature of the walls is levied due to oblique lines. But without cutting the plates here is also not to do.

Mosaic masonry

Mosaic can be layered out of small tiles, and you can purchase ready-made large tiles with a mosaic texture. Such tiles are easily adjusted under the required size without deteriorating appearance. Mosaic is preferably combined with medium or large tiles.

Since now everything is vintage, original and stylish decision A mosaic of fragments or pieces of old Soviet tiles can become a mosaic.

Imitation of brick masonry

Imitation of brickwork or laying of tile "Vravbekhka" - quite popular today. Smooth parallel lines will be either strictly horizontal, or strictly vertical. Due to this, you can achieve different visual effects. And if combining several colors - then also drawings.

Laying "Seam in Soo"

And of course, the standard stacking "seam in the seam", which involves clear and even rows. If there are not many options with laying the square tile, then the rectangular can be oriented vertically (to visually lift the ceilings) or horizontally (to visually expand the kitchen).

Zoning and combine

Since the tile - the pleasure is not cheap, it is quite permissible to combine it in with other materials for decorating walls. It can be wallpapers, decorative putty or just painted walls. As a rule, the cafeter is decorated with a work zone (apron) so that it is easy to clean, and everything else is the space - other materials. Combination can be:

• Contrast (opposite colors, textures)
• Identical (tone in tone, texture to texture)
• Similar colors, textures)

Design Apron

Straight working areaThere are exactly the middle of the walls. Therefore, he can be bright and unusual. It is possible to highlight it with another color or other way of laying, make accents with bright tiles or tiles of non-standard shape and texture. And you can also order special photo ships. Their manufacturers not only offer a wide selection of drawings for every taste, but also "customize" them under the size of your kitchen. However, it is necessary to lay out such a tile very carefully, because all parts of the picture will be only in one instance.

What tile is better to choose for the floor in the kitchen?

1. Sturdy, since it will have a lot of weight.
2. Chemically stable, since the floor in the kitchen will have to wash with cleaning agents more often than in other rooms.
3. I worry so that it does not lose its appearance.
4. Non-slip so that the splashes near the wash did not end with injuries.

Put the tile do it yourself

On walls

1. Carefully clean the walls from all coatings.
2. Apply axial marking depending on the method of laying and sizes of tiles (this will determine whether it is necessary to cut the tiles and if yes - to place them from the bottom to be at the top where it can be seen).
3. Apply it with a subtle layer, make furrows (convenient with the help of a "gear" spatula).

On the floor

1. Carefully clean the floor from all coatings.
2. Make a light tie.
3. Apply axial marking depending on the method of laying and sizes.
4. According to the instructions to prepare the adhesive composition.
5. Apply it with a thin layer, make a furrow.
6. Install the tile, pick up. Around place crossbar for alignment of seams.
7. After drying, remove crosses, wipe the seams with color grouting for seams.

White seams on the floor look beautiful, but very quickly dirty and lose their appearance.

For registration kitchen Apron And the floor is the most popular finishing material today - this is a tile for the kitchen. Of course, in this matter to each one. Someone will issue a tile design in the kitchen only on the floor, maybe even on the apron, and maybe all the walls and the floor with a kitchen tile will issue! Next, view - the tile for the kitchen photo so that you can be more clear how such a design may look.

What you need to know about ceramic tiles?

The main advantage of the tile - durability. What material was not tile, its strength is much higher compared to other materials that the floors can be decorated, walls. But the other side it can be for someone and disadvantage. The material may be a couple later - the top three to stop like kitchen owners. But it is not easy to change it, and it's not very cheap. For example, in such a situation, the wallpaper crossing is much more practical than rewarming tiles for the kitchen.

The basic principles in the acquisition of kitchen tiles can be attributed:

• To begin with, a project or design should be ready - visualization of the kitchen. You must understand what you want to do and how your kitchen should look after repair. If no one will have it, no one will change it, the tile for the kitchen on the floor, walls or apron - it should definitely be combined with it. It may be a contrast or the same tonality as the furniture or the same color, but the tone should be a little lower or vice versa - depending on how much you like it. It is very important how the tile for the kitchen with a tabletop will be combined.

Thanks modern technologiesOn the computer you can create a collage, and maybe the 3-dimensional model of the integer room! When creating a collage, use real photos The interior items that you have chosen for your own kitchen room. So you can clearly see the future combination of objects and color Gamm.how beautiful and harmonious they will be combined with each other with all this should not forget that the colors on the monitor can radically differ from real. "

• It is not worth buying a material with a large stock so that it turns into the future in a pile of useless trash, which will only climb the free space of your home. But it is not worth buying the material "backdrop", based on clear calculations and measurements of the room.
• After all, when laying a tile in the kitchen, no one will insure any force majeure circumstances. For example, can suddenly crack in the process mounting workAnd there may be something difficult to fall down, which will entail the split tile floor for the kitchen and other situations. While the probability of finding exactly the same tile will be minimal. After all, even if you find, it can be done by another party and the difference will still be significantly noticeable. That is why get ceramic tiles for the kitchen with a margin, but with a little! Focus about% of the total number of material.
• Since today everything is improved today, in the online stores there is an additional option of the miscalculation of the desired amount of finishing materials. But also a way to trust one hundred percent not recommended, because in the case of "busting" with the materials back such online stores are unlikely to take the goods.

Return the tile even in an ordinary store can be very difficult, and maybe it is absolutely impossible. Such material is sold at the rate of the Method. And even if you save the factory packaging, the store may well refuse the return. In this issue, the exclusion is the decorative stove, border, frieze sold by the piece. For these reasons, it is better to think about the number of materials acquired and will not prevent consult with an experienced seller and just in case clarify and discuss whether it is possible to make the return of the goods. Watch the floor tile for the kitchen. Photo where everyone will be able to choose the necessary options.

• In a very careful way, inspect the material when buying, because the integrity of the packaging (even factory!) Does not guarantee the integrity of the materials. Therefore, check everything to one.
• In no case do not buy a tile for the kitchen of the first sized eye. Even if her design will like it, it is necessary to take it from all seriousness and understanding. For example, there are many information on the Internet that large plates are not quite good option for small kitchens, and vice versa. But here is the case in the other. If it is incorrect to choose the size of the material (especially the tiles on the apron), it will have to be cut. This will entail some nuances, for example, the appearance of the general pattern, and indeed, a lot of material may have to be thrown. At the same time, you will spend not only a lot of strength to nowhere, but also the nerves reprimand. Therefore, the most perfect option is to calculate the tape measure in advance and the tiles size is most suitable in your case, so that when laying the tiles in the kitchen, it did not have to cut and throw it away.

With the help of special crossings that can be bought in a construction store, the joints between the tile can be made perfectly smooth. Moreover, they can also choose them, which is more suitable. They are from 1-2 mm to 1 cm.

• Choosing the material you need to pay attention to external design, as well as functionality. Indeed, in the kitchen, the main purpose of finishing materials is an excerpt and resistance to greasy pollution, soot and other. In addition, it should be easily flush. Also, the material should be resistant to the effects of chemical use (the designation "AA" on materials).

Catalog Tile Marking for Kitchen:

• "AA" - material stability to very strong chemical.
• "A" - Establish to the midst of Him.
• "B" Low threshold of sustainability to chemical.
• "C" - ultra-low level of stability
• "O" is not at all resistant to the effects of Chemical Mat-B.

The surface of the tiles is better to choose matte, because the glossy is very clearly visible to lime.

Possible varieties of tile

The main, aesthetic appearance of the material depends mainly on how it is laid. Therefore, you can choose from a tile catalog for the kitchen in monophonic, without pictures. You can also combine different colors with each other. But then the main nuance is that it was the same series of materials.

The most uncomfortable factor of laying plates is along the edges of the wall or floor, when the material is at least a bit, but you have to trim. To simplify the task, you can pick up the plates of square forms of suitable tonality and cut them diagonally.

Accordingly, laying the material - diagonally. Stock Foto Tiles on the kitchen on the floor will show you how such an design looks visually. This option is suitable for a visual increase in the room.

Basically, with such a design, the cafeter put the apron kitchen to facilitate cleaning, first of all. The rest of the room can be issued with other materials.

Combined in several ways:

• Contrast - anti-oh colors and textures
• Identically - the similarity of the tones, textures
• Like - similarity of tones and textures

If the wallpaper is monophonic, tile choose in a contrast or with the image. Or, on the contrary, if the wallpaper is colored - monotonous, neutral tile. What a tile can be on the kitchen on the floor, the photo will allow you to see!
