Adding beautiful tiles to your kitchen, whether on the floor or as backsplashes, can bring in the style and color that you want. With all of the options available, however, it can be tough to know what to choose. To help you decide on the best options for your kitchen, there are some top tile trends experts at kitchen remodeling in Anaheim Hills, CA want you to know about.

Faux wood tiles are the new rage for kitchen floors. They are very easy to install while offering the look of wood without the high maintenance that wood requires. If you have an active household with children and pets, this is a better choice than actual wood because it is much sturdier. They come in different shades and styles so you can always find the right faux wood tile for your kitchen.

Another kind of tile that is becoming more popular bring the look of poured concrete while still offering convenience and easy maintenance. Concrete is a trendy option now, but it is porous and that is not what you want in your kitchen. Instead, you can get the same modern look with tiles that imitate it. You can even get different stains on the tiles to find the perfect design choice.

Large subway tiles are another option that people are choosing for their kitchen backsplashes. These tiles are larger than the usual 3” x 6” subway tiles, giving the kitchen a more spacious look. You can find subway tiles that measure 4” x 8” and even some that measure 4” x 12”. If you have a small kitchen, these tiles can make the room appear larger than it is.

Tiles made of alternative materials are another trend. You can choose more than tiles with a metal finish. Instead, you can go for actual metal sheets. Copper and stainless steel are excellent choices that can bring a modern touch to any kitchen. You can also go for full glass tiles to use for your backsplash. Some people choose to mix glass and metal while others choose to add fabric behind the glass tiles to create a completely unique look.

These are some excellent options you want to consider when deciding on the right tiles for your kitchen area. You want to think about the kind of look you want the space to have and about the type of textures you would prefer. If you want options that make your space appear larger, go for longer subway tiles. You can mix and match options like glass and metal tiles for a unique style that can bring texture and color to any space.
