The kitchens of a modern home tend to be something of a nexus of activity, with space for cooking, eating and socialising all available in many contemporary kitchens.
With this in mind, being able to kit out your kitchen space in the way that works best for you should be a priority when revamping or renovating this part of the home.
Given the high footfall that kitchens have in busy homes, installing a floor surface which is robust and dependable is a must.
This is where natural stone floor tiles come into their own. Providing the perfect base for this dynamic space, stone tiles for kitchen floors offer the ideal combination of practicality and beautiful design.
The latest Stone Tile Company blog tells you what you need to keep in mind when selecting natural stone tiles, as well as giving you some superb stone tiles for kitchens.
What to consider when selecting natural stone floor tiles

If you have your heart set on some beautiful natural stone tiles for your kitchen space, then knowing exactly what to consider when finalising the specific tile you opt for is really useful.
As experts in all things to do with tiling, we advise some specific areas to prioritise when selecting your tiling.
The first is the finish. The finish your tile has plays a big role in the suitability of your tile. In the kitchen specifically, given the high footfall that needs to be factored in, then there are specific finishes that work best.
Selecting the right natural stone tile finish for your floors

Natural riven finishes help to create durable tile choices, while we really like the antique finish tiles we offer. These offer a beautiful light-reflecting quality which works wonderfully in a kitchen space, while still proving capable of coping with high footfall. Brushed finished tiles are another option to consider, with a soft and accommodating look that can cope with the demands of kitchen living. These tiles are considered more suitable in areas where you are likely to walk barefoot due to the nature of our rustic natural riven stone tiles.
Another element to consider when choosing kitchen tiles is the colour you go for. This will contribute hugely to the aesthetic you are looking to create, playing a vital role in the entire vibe you are putting together.
Using stone tiles on kitchen floors creates a permeating vibe of a country ilk. This is perfect for older homes with plenty of character, or bringing a new feel to a modern home that harks back to previous generations and vintage design styles.
