Kitchen Splashback Tile Ideas

It’s time to style your kitchen, and one of the best ways to do this is by working with your kitchen splashback to really communicate your design idea throughout the kitchen space. The kitchen splashback is often the focal point of your space and also the area that takes the most heat (quite literally). A quality tile will extend the lifetime of your splashback. This surface area cops heat, moisture and the occasional splats of pasta sauce, and for this reason it really should be an area you invest in both quality and practicality wise. As tile specialists, we recommend you come and see our 6000ft² showroom to explore your options in person - in the meantime we have put together a few ideas following the current splashback trends for you to read and get inspired!

The Metro (Subway) Tile

Starting with the metro tile or subway tile, this look isn’t going anywhere fast, it’s far too flexible a style and practical to boot. The subway tile can be chosen in different colours and finishes to fit into your design. Playing with the format of the subway tile can really create some interest or texture in the room, while using contrasting grout can add some geometry and colour if your space is otherwise neutral.

Mediterranean Tiles

After a few years mainly home bound in this pandemic, searches for mediterranean style kitchens soared. We hear you! Who wouldn’t want to cook or dine in a mediterranean villa, or in this case your home?

Perrin&Rowe

A mediterranean tile can actually be in the style of many dreamy destinations, Italy, Spain, Tunisia, France, Portugal, Morocco. All of which are brightly coloured, patterned tiles which work great as a pop of colour in a neutral room or to tie together a colourful room. They can be rustic and vintage or quite contemporary with the right styling, for this reason we find them surprisingly flexible to design a space with!

Geometric

Incorporating geometric shapes into your splashback can really lift a neutral palette and add some interest to your kitchen. You can do this by choosing a tile with a geometric shape or pattern, lay the tiles in a geometric pattern or even use a contrasting grout colour to highlight the shape of the tile.

Glossy

We are making a case for glossy tiles, they’re practical and they can work in so many different settings. Take a look.

Frankly, this list could have been much longer, there are truly so many beautiful ways to style your kitchen and home. That’s where we come in, we are tile specialists and experts in quality design. Do come and see us at our Cork showroom or contact us to start designing your dream space today!

Floor to Ceiling Grey - Ideal Tiles for Wet Rooms and Bathrooms

Floor-to-ceiling tiling can transform a functional bathroom or en-suite into a seamless and luxurious wet room for your Cork home. Combine the grey Aran wall and floor tiles in your bathroom with our matching basins to complete the minimalistic look of the bathroom space.

These Spanish tiles are ideal for use in both traditional and contemporary bathroom spaces.

Soothing Shades of Grey

Blend the design of your bathroom by choosing natural fixtures and fittings to the sleek grey tiles.

The colour grey is a short cut to sophistication, so ramp up the ethereal charm by teaming it with white-gloss bathwares and classic fittings and fixtures. The restful and elegant atmosphere in this bathroom has been achieved with the use of soothing shades of grey and white. One of the hottest bathroom tile trends in home design is the use of natural wood accents and textures against the grey bathroom wall tiles.

Pair your bathroom tiles with matching basins made from the same tile for a seamless and luxurious look. Available exclusively from Riva Tiles & Bathrooms in Cork.

Industrial Bathware Designs

Elevate your bathroom or wet room design by contrasting your bathroom tiles with black taps and frameless glass to give a sleek, industrial feel.

Whether you want to redesign your en-suite or master bathroom choosing grey tiles, black taps and frameless glass will give your bathroom a sleek, modern and elegant look. If there’s one thing that absolutely takes your bathroom to next level, it’s large format tiles. These soothing grey Aran tiles offer a seamless finish to your bathroom and the addition of glass with industrial style black taps will elevate your bathroom even further.

These stunning Azuvi Lightgrey and Grey Spanish tiles add elegance and interest to a minimal room. Avoid bold colour contrast and stick to tone-on-tone and harmonious patterns that are barely there.

Hard-wearing and available in a wide choice of styles, these tiles are designed with tried-and-tested materials for bathroom walls and floors. Properly installed and cared for, a tiled surface should last a lifetime.
