Soon, we'll move into a new season of home improvements and tiles are proving popular as homeowners are turning their attention to kitchens. Leading tile, wall panel and flooring specialist, Hyperion Tiles director Richard Skeoch says: "Wall and floor tiles are perfect for a stylish, practical refresh; to start, they tend to be more affordable to swap than major appliances or furniture. You'll also protect your walls and floors from any stains, marks or splashes when you're cooking, entertaining and relaxing in this space. Tiles are renowned for adding instant character and flair to any kitchen."
Richard shares his top tips for picking the right kitchen tiles:
• Think about functionality: Make sure your wall tiles can handle splashes, heat and moisture and they're easy to clean
• Don't forget durability & safety: Kitchen floors need to be hard-wearing to cater for heavy foot traffic, spills and dropped pans while slip resistance should be key for better grip underfoot
• Pick the right material: Ceramic is lightweight and affordable, making it a great choice for kitchen walls for example. Porcelain and natural stone are hardwearing so perfect for floors
• Consider the colour: Do you prefer to make a statement with vibrant colours and a strong pattern or do you feel less is more for an understated finish? Make sure your grout colour works with your kitchen style and look - contrasting will make your tiles pop and a colour-matched grout will add a seamless finish
