Indian cooking means oil, masala and steam, so kitchen tiles need to clean easily and stay looking new. The backsplash is also the best place to add some personality.
Backsplash ideas
- Glossy subway-style tiles: classic and very easy to wipe.
- Patterned or moroccan-style tiles: a pop of colour behind the hob.
- Large marble-look tiles: fewer grout lines means less to scrub.
Kitchen floors
Choose a matt or satin vitrified floor — it hides small spills and gives grip if water falls. 2x2 ft is easy to lay and to replace one tile later if needed.
Tip: grout matters
Ask for stain-resistant or epoxy grout near the cooking area. It keeps joints from turning yellow over time.
