Features
The material is used for finishing apron and floor in the kitchen. This is not by chance.
- First, it is easy to clean it. He is smooth, the dirt does not accumulate on it (and in the seams, too, with proper laying), and it also withstands even the most rigid cleaning agents.
- Secondly, it is wear-resistant. But here is an important point: the tile is selected, based on its destination. Pressure stoneware with imitation of stone, wood or decorative tile will fit the floor. On the apron go less wear-resistant, but bright options: mosaic or ceramics.
- Finally, thirdly, it's nice to work with him. When damaged, one site can be replaced. During the purchase of goods, be sure to consider this moment so that the details for the replacement were from the same party. Buying in the future is fraught with a difference in texture and color.
From non-obvious minuses: the coldness of the material. But it is easy to fix, equipping the system of warm floors. As well as painstaking and accuracy that will be required when laying. If experience is a bit, it is better not to risk and order work from specialists.
Design apron of tiles for kitchen (with examples of photo)
This is one of the brightest elements of the interior that allows experimenting with materials and design.The form
The choice of tile for apron is actually not limited to any rules. It does not affect the shape of the room or its area. You can choose both very large squares with a side of 33 cm and more and a small mosaic. The only thing worth considering when choosing - color and shape. Consider trend products.
- Cabanchik. Judging by the photo, it is one of the most popular types of tiles for the design of walls in the kitchen, many projects are issued with these bricks. In addition to the traditional method, designers offer to lay it with a Christmas tree, diagonally, vertically and stacked.
- Hexagon. Good alternative to cable. There are two options: classic monophonic and with highlighted edge, 3D projection of the cube is obtained.
- Scales. No less actual appearance, it looks particularly well in bright saturated color and with a contrast grout. Foreign designers often use scales in the style of Kitych and modern.
- Arabesque. Very elegant tile. Despite the eastern origin of the pattern, he fits very well into neoclassical interiors.
Of course, you should not limit the search for these models. Classic squares or diamonds will no less effectively look in concrete design. A non-violent trend of this season is generally considered minimalist porcelain stoneware with marble effect.
Choosing gamma
Analyzing photo kitchens from designers, you can see two versions of the tile on the wall above the table top: the bright, on which the accent, and in neutral tones are made.Bright
Usually, the apron is isolated against the background of a monochrome headset and neutral finish.
- If you liked the idea of apron with a pattern, try to choose a tile so that the color of the main design is duplicated. For example, print with green elements benefit from green headsets. At the same time, designers often avoid repeat color "in the forehead", preferring to play with tones. But this is a very subtle reception that is difficult to implement it yourself.
- The tile can be contrasting. A pair to white headset - a black screen, to green - red, to yellow - blue, etc. You will help the color circle of yten and the main schemes of the combination of colors.
Neutral
There are no rules here. If you like calmer interiors, feel free to choose a tile in light colors: white, beige, gray and so on. This is a classic that will not get bored.
Floor
In the selection of tiles for the floor there are several moments that should be considered. Let's deal with each.Laying method and size
These two characteristics cannot be ignored, because with the help of the finish, you can visually adjust the room.
- In small rooms, the medium-sized tile looks better. It is most convenient to lay and easier to calculate the flow rate. If you like the idea with trimming with a porcelain stoneware, which is most often produced in a large scale, pay attention to non-contrast options.
- To visually increase the room, try laying diagonally and disintegrate.
- In large rooms with caution use fine products. Present on the photo a mosaic tile on a spacious kitchen, the seams will be rich. Such elements are better to use as decor, point.
- Expand the narrow room will help the location of the elements parallel to the short wall.
Prints and textures
We have already identified the trend of this season to the use of natural textures: marble and wood porcelain stonewares are the main finishing materials. But you should not be limited only by them.
Prints and patterns are always relevant, they are out of time. Geometry looks great, abstraction. Purchase such products only from proven manufacturers, in which model row and design you have no doubt.
- Light floor - universal for most stylistics. Even in Loft, you can choose a light gray finish.
- Dark surfaces close to black, easily dirty. Floors will have to wash daily and after each cooking.
- The brighter print on the floor, the calmer should be the rest of the design. Designers violate this rule, but often only in experimental projects. In real life, it is better to limit the combination of prints.
Combination options with other materials
Another admission that will be relevant in the room of the middle and large area, and often in the combined space with the living room. We are talking about the options of tiles on the floor of the kitchen in combination with other materials, in the photo such a finish looks dynamically and modern.
- Frequent option: Mix of laminate in the dining room area and living room, tile - in the working area.
- Laminate also replace parquet. But it is important to correctly calculate the area of the working area, so that water does not fall into the tree.
- You can mix different types of tiles and porcelain stoneware. Such experiments are better carried out in spacious rooms, visually this reception reduces space.
