Which tiles are best for a modern Indian kitchen wall?

For a modern Indian kitchen, glossy ceramic or vitrified wall tiles in neutral tones, subway patterns, or bold geometric prints work best. The Tile House offers a curated range of kitchen wall tiles that combine durability with contemporary aesthetics, perfect for Indian cooking environments.

What size tiles are ideal for a kitchen backsplash?

For kitchen backsplashes, smaller format tiles like 75x300mm subway tiles, 200x200mm square tiles, or mosaic tiles (30x30cm sheets) are most popular. The Tile House recommends these sizes as they are easy to cut around outlets and cabinets while creating a visually appealing pattern.

What type of floor tiles are best for Indian kitchens?

Anti-skid vitrified tiles or matte-finish porcelain tiles with a PEI rating of 4 or above are ideal for Indian kitchen floors. They withstand heavy foot traffic, resist oil and water stains, and are easy to clean. The Tile House offers a wide selection of kitchen floor tiles designed for both performance and style.

How do I choose a backsplash tile that complements my kitchen cabinets?

Match your backsplash tile to your cabinet finish for a cohesive look — light-toned tiles like whites or soft greys pair well with dark wood cabinets, while bold patterned tiles add contrast to plain white or cream cabinets. The Tile House provides expert design assistance to help you find the perfect kitchen backsplash tile combination.

Are patterned tiles suitable for small Indian kitchens?

Yes, patterned tiles can work beautifully in small Indian kitchens when used strategically. Limit bold patterns to a single accent wall or backsplash zone, and use lighter, larger-format tiles on the floor to create an illusion of space. The Tile House offers designer patterned tiles that are perfectly scaled for compact kitchen layouts.

What is the difference between ceramic and vitrified tiles for kitchens?

Ceramic tiles are more affordable and great for kitchen walls due to their moisture resistance and ease of installation. Vitrified tiles are denser, harder, and less porous, making them superior for kitchen floors where durability and stain resistance are critical. The Tile House stocks both premium ceramic and vitrified tiles suited to every part of your kitchen.

How many tiles do I need for my kitchen floor and walls?

Measure the total square footage of your kitchen floor and wall areas, then add 10–15% extra for cuts and wastage. For example, a 10x10 ft kitchen floor needs approximately 110–115 sq ft of tiles. The Tile House offers a free tile calculator tool and in-store design consultations to help you estimate accurately and avoid over or under ordering.

Which tile finish is easiest to maintain in an Indian kitchen?

Matte or satin-finish tiles are the easiest to maintain in Indian kitchens as they hide grease fingerprints and water spots better than high-gloss surfaces. For walls and backsplashes, a semi-gloss finish strikes the right balance between aesthetics and cleanability. The Tile House offers a range of low-maintenance kitchen tiles designed for the demands of everyday Indian cooking.
