Choosing or changing the flooring in your kitchen is one of the most consequential design decisions that you can make. Colorful or patterned tiles can create an edgy modern look or function as a focal point. A traditional tile floor can create a timeless foundation for the rest of your kitchen that won’t go out of style and can fall back and let other elements like kitchen backsplash tiles to shine.
Decorative floor tile can give a small kitchen presence or add personality to a minimalist space. Depending on your kitchen layout, you might install decorative tile to create a sense of definition in a galley-style, U-shaped, or open-plan kitchen.
Take a look at these kitchens in a range of sizes and styles that utilize floor tiles in both classic and unexpected ways to add style, personality, and functionality to the busiest room in the house.

Whether you're an aspiring chef who spends countless hours experimenting in the kitchen, or you see a cook space as the perfect location for heating up last night's pizza and whipping up a favorite cocktail, the kitchen is the heart of the home for us all. It's important to get the design of these spaces right, whether you're working with a small kitchen or have multiple kitchen areas or if you prefer an all-white cooking area to maximalist-inspired rooms.
Choosing the right kitchen flooring is imperative for making this space feel warm and inviting—especially if you love to cook and will be on your feet often in this area. Kitchen tile has come a long way over the years with an abundance of options, while many traditional materials that have been used overseas for more than half a century are still elegant options to bring a sense of patina and Old World charm to any home today.
Here, we've gathered 17 beautiful kitchens from the pages of VERANDA to highlight the many ways kitchen floor tile can be used to create a cook space that's ready for its close-up.
From local Mexican terra-cotta in a San Miguel de Allende home to white oak tile in a British Colonial-inspired manse in Naples, Florida, discover some of the best options on the market for adorning your floors.

Kitchen floor tiles: trendiest designs
The design of the walls and floor in the kitchen is the main renovation of this room. Below we show kitchen renovations with a beautiful floor in different shades: dark and light, white, gray and brown.
Kitchen refurbishment with beautiful flooring in marble effect porcelain tiles in three colors
In the photo above, in the art deco kitchen floor design, we see a combination of several types of black, white and gray marble effect porcelain stoneware. Inserts of thin stripes of decor in white are stacked with a geometric ornament in the Greek style. This solution is often found in styles such as classic, neoclassical and art deco. A similar pattern is sometimes called a "carpet", since the dark part of the tile with decor imitates the perimeter of a rectangular carpet.
A strip of black marble on the right side visually zones the kitchen space with an island and the main dining room.
Kitchen floor design in cream French parquet look
The design of the floors in a small neoclassical kitchen is most often made under wood or parquet. In the photo above, you can see the flooring in the kitchen under French parquet with the effect of aging, but porcelain stoneware was used for decoration. This finishing option almost always involves the installation of a warm floor. In the photo you see a marbled apron and a parquet floor.
Neoclassical kitchen floor design with central decoration
In this beautiful kitchen interior with a beautiful ornamented floor, we see a light set in the neoclassical style with golden elements. Here the dining room is located near the window, and the shades of the countertop and backsplash are repeated in the design of the floor.
Hexagon tiles in black and white with colored inserts
In the photo above, in the interior of a kitchen with a loft-style corner set, you see a unique floor design with hexagon-shaped tiles.
The combination of hexagons in white, black, walnut, complemented by an ornament, looks very modern. The asymmetrical arrangement of colored details makes such an interior extremely stylish and fashionable.
Pattern carpet in the design of the floor in the culinary area in marbled porcelain stoneware and glencheck pattern
In this bright interior, a fashionable carpet pattern looks very elegant in the design of the floor in the culinary area. The most up-to-date finishes are in marble-look porcelain stoneware and glencheck pattern. It is worth paying attention to the design of the backsplash, countertops and islands in white marble.
Art Deco Geometric Kitchen Renovation
In a modern kitchen, any geometric ornaments are in favor, including in the decoration of various rooms and in combination with different materials.
Floor design in brown, black and white marble effect porcelain stoneware
The design of the floor, walls and ceiling in the interior should be interconnected.
A professional interior designer selects all materials for the overall design of the kitchen set and at the same time creates an atmosphere in which the elements do not compete with each other for the right of superiority in aesthetics, but organically complement.
Marble floor with carpet ornament in black and white porcelain stoneware
In the photo above you see another beautiful example of a carpet patterned floor in white and black marble. This option effectively highlights the island in the central part of the room.
Luxurious polished floor in luxury kitchen design
A kitchen design with a black floor can be especially spectacular. We can recommend it for a luxury renovation in neoclassical, art deco or classicism style. Also, the black floor can be found in minimalism and loft, but in a more concise manner. In any case, the design of a kitchen with a dark floor is a very trendy solution. In the kitchen above, there is a sumptuous floor in luxury large-format ebony-effect marble-effect porcelain stoneware with light-coloured pine effect inserts.
Plain floor in marble effect porcelain stoneware without accents or inserts
For the design of the floor in a small kitchen, a light, almost monochromatic option is more suitable. Porcelain stoneware in light onyx, white or beige marble is the perfect choice.
Modern kitchen with gray white marble effect porcelain stoneware flooring
Gray white marble is another great option for both small and spacious kitchens. Usually such a finish does without additional decor and ornaments. It is the gray floor that is best suited for modern interiors.
Natural wood in the interior of the kitchen-dining room
Natural wood is not the most practical solution, but with proper care, you can easily afford such a design. True, you still have to choose between wood-effect porcelain stoneware, veneered engineered board, parquet and other popular options.
Parquet wood floor in kitchen design with island
The design of the floor in the kitchen with laminate is not the most practical solution.
That's why we recommend wood look/parquet/laminate porcelain stoneware in the right design and color range for Italian cuisine.

Engineered veneer board in the interior of the kitchen-dining room
Engineered veneer board is ideal for the dining area. For more practicality, it can be combined with marble effect porcelain stoneware in the wet area.
Natural parquet in the interior of a European kitchen with a French mood
Natural parquet can be a chic solution for a luxury kitchen interior.

Trendy terrazzo floor in concrete with natural stone inclusions
A terrazzo floor is a variant of a self-leveling floor or terrazzo floor tiles in kitchen interior design. This floor immediately attracts attention and looks very modern.
Self-levelling concrete effect floor for kitchen interior in loft style
Self-leveling floor under concrete is not the most popular solution, but one of the most exclusive. It is usually used for interiors in the loft and minimalist styles, because it goes well with the black furniture that is typical for these styles.
Floor color: dark, light, grey, white, black, beige
The colors of the floor design in the kitchen greatly affect the psychological perception of the interior. The light design of the floor in the kitchen visually enlarges the interior and makes it more tidy. At the same time, the design of the kitchen with a dark floor looks luxurious and luxurious. A kitchen design with a gray floor can be a neutral modern option. Whereas the design of a white kitchen with light floors will be the most relevant and concise. But the design of a kitchen with a brown floor can often be found in a classic or country-style interior.
Gray shades: ash, charcoal, smoky
The gray color scheme is very common, as the gray floor is a sophisticated and original solution in light colors.
White range: snow white, gray white, ivory, milky
The white palette in the design of the floor is most often found in white marble effect porcelain stoneware and bleached wood. This solution can be called universal, it fits almost any style of interior.
Brown floor: chocolate, coffee, walnut, wood
An excellent solution in design and decoration for interiors in neoclassical, classic and Scandinavian style!
Beige palette: light beige, creamy, antique, latte
The beige palette in interior design is usually found in classic and neoclassical styles.
The combination of white with beige and gold looks the most elegant. In the photo above, pay attention to the multi-colored glass accents in the design of the chandelier and stained glass cabinets.
Black color scheme: black amber, onyx, licorice, peat
The black color scheme very often creates a glamorous mood in the interior. For example, black and white, black and brown, and black and gray palettes are now a favorite among interior designers. More complex combinations are possible, but in general, the use of a light background or furniture to compensate can be recommended.
Two-tone floor: combinations and shade combinations
A multi-colored floor can be a stunningly aesthetic solution for interior decoration. We can recommend dark colors only for light interiors or for very spacious ones. And light combinations can be used in any room.
Floor design in the kitchen-living room: examples of zoning
The kitchen-living room can have zoning elements in the floor design, which allows you to create an exclusive cozy interior.
Zoning makes it possible to comfortably use each zone and create a unique atmosphere for it. The most common combination is marble and wood effect porcelain stoneware, as well as ceramic parquet and marble effect tiles.
Combination of wood and marble effect porcelain tiles in the design of the kitchen-living room with underfloor heating
The combination of wood and marble effect porcelain stoneware in the design of the kitchen-living room can be the best solution for separating two zones. For example, in the culinary and in the island area, you can use marbled decoration, and in the living room itself - under the tree.
Marble effect porcelain stoneware combination with dark perimeter black accent
The intricate porcelain stoneware finish with a black accent around the perimeter looks especially luxurious. The photo above is a perfect example of just such an art deco finish with a minimalist set. Gold accents beautifully accentuate this dark interior with natural marble countertops and backsplash.
Geometric greek carpet for central kitchen area
The “carpet” pattern is becoming more and more popular today, and in this interior with a mirrored apron and a gray ashy set, it looks especially harmonious. Check out the ceiling design with built-in lighting and art deco accent chandeliers above the island. This interior has a particularly refined atmosphere!

Floors must be clean, dry, structurally sound and level. Most suppliers recommend using an installer who is experienced in laying this type of flooring.
If you are dealing with larger slabs, as well as a non-standard format, or with a large layout type pattern, then they usually take more time to install, effort, and are much more expensive.

In addition to the usual ceramics, vinyl, cork and bamboo types are often used for the floor.
There are many options for flooring.
Determine your budget before calculating the look.
Kitchen tiles can be inexpensive only if they are vinyl, linoleum, but ceramics, especially custom-made ones, are always expensive. Specialty stores will help you evaluate everything that is required for your kitchen.
Striking design in black and brown
Consider the lifestyle of your household. Although kitchen tiles are durable, they still require attention, and the durability of each material is different.
Think through every detail when designing
Ceramic is strong enough to withstand heavy objects being dropped, easy to clean and maintain.
But, unfortunately, it is also often subjected to chips and cracks, especially with improper laying, as well as with improper operation. Determine if the flooring you choose will fit your family's lifestyle.
Multicolored floor tiles
When choosing a flooring, it must be strong enough to withstand heavy traffic, pets, spilled food and detergents.
Choose according to taste and design

If you decide to make the floor yourself, my advice on laying it and a small master class will come in handy.
Spectacular dark tones look stunning
If you've made all the preparations like me, it's time to lay your new tile floor.
This guide will walk you through all the steps and I just want to help you complete your project as smoothly as possible and also ensure it looks great in your home for the long haul.
Before you start
It is important to prepare your existing floor, calculate the correct quantity, purchase and place key elements.
Extra large color range
This planning guide tells you everything you need to know. So, read how to plan.
Planning with taste
Tools and materials needed:
- floor tiles;
- for the floor. Choose a high-strength, specialized ceramic-specific adhesive for your decking;
- primer. Choose between a powder solution to be mixed with water or pre-mixed and ready to use.
Beautiful interior with a touch of sophistication and comfort
Using a pre-mixed grout allows you to skip the hassle of do-it-yourself preparation, but a powdered grout can be useful if you want to avoid wastage.
Because you have to mix the exact amount needed for very small or very large rooms.
Use anti-mold solutions to keep your floors looking amazing
Look for anti-mold solutions for bathrooms and kitchens to help keep your floors in good condition for longer.
Installation tools:
- silicone sealant and cartridge;
- tools;
- notched trowel;
- tile spacers;
- tile file to remove redundant elements;
- electric cutter;
- molding machine;
- level;
- rubber mallet for fine leveling;
- sponge;
- soft cloth;
- respirator and goggles.
Installing ceramic and granite tiles is usually presented as a fairly simple procedure, followed by "just cut" advice with a wet saw.
In practice, it's not so easy to install everything with high quality
Then “lubricate the inside” and “set it in place” and finally “press it into the solution”, and then: voila, the magic happens. Perhaps this is really some kind of magic and should not be complicated? Not certainly in that way.
Do it yourself
If you are trying to save money, one way to approach this is to hire a professional for the most visible areas and the central part, leaving himself the legal right to do everything on his own in the corners that will be filled with furniture.
The material is easy to cut with the special tool
If you are not sure that you can lay everything straight, then it is worth hiring a professional installer to avoid irreparable mistakes.
A level floor will keep your kitchen surface durable
And for all the desperate home reformers like me, I suggest continuing with this guide.
One of the problems that will come your way is that it will be difficult to peel off if you make a mistake.

Tile mortar allows for some movement, but unfortunately it will also shift the rest of the work, although this mostly applies to vertical masonry.
For this purpose, there is a tile that will be easier to remove and move if necessary.
Kitchen floor options
The following guide aims to show you the tricky parts of the job and how to do it in a way that's easier to remove.

Projects and topics that are generally easier to complete are as follows:
Dry places
special work with the substrate material and sealing.
Updating the Interior Nicely and Quickly
Rain can be especially problematic for amateur tiles to make a problem area completely watertight.
Floors near walls
Slippage is something you will constantly struggle with when dealing with walls.
Small is also easy to install
Tiles ranging from 10 to 30 cm
Small size, especially if it is a mosaic, especially easy to install. Use self-adhesive (although it has very limited use).
Attention
Start your amateur career with tiles that will maximize your skills.
Hard work
Dry mortar for ceramics is quite cheap, but the problem is that it is difficult to mix.
The solution is to buy a pre-mixed solution. Although it is more expensive, it saves you from the process of correctly measuring the amount of water with powder.
A level floor surface is essential
In addition, mixing the dry matter is physically difficult. If you don't have a good floor, your tiles won't lay flat. In this case, damage will inevitably occur at adjacent edges that do not have the same height.
Bright colors are always pleasing and easy to perceive
Worse, a base floor that is not hard enough will eventually lead to cracking. Tiles that will be located around the perimeter must be cut.
I used a wet grinder, or you can use a regular tile cutter.
You will most likely want to use both types of cutting tools. If you have any chips, you can arrange them so that the problem area is under the baseboard or in another inconspicuous place.
Perfect combination with wood
Even perimeter tiles can be difficult. They don't automatically fall into straight lines: you'll have to work hard to get everything straight. Cutting, laying diagonally is very difficult and can be a real challenge for a beginner.
Proper alternation is difficult. Be sure to use plastic spacers for the correct spacing.

While the spacers are very difficult to remove, they provide the perfect spacing. Constantly kneeling on a hard surface can affect the quality of your work. For this reason, when working yourself, it is worth buying an inexpensive pair of knee pads.
One way or another, self-laying is a complex and time-consuming process, so the first experience should be under the supervision of professionals.
