Choosing Floor Tiles for a Cream Kitchen

Cream is often a go-to colour when designing a kitchen. Cream cabinets and walls help brighten your kitchen to make it feel airier, cleaner, and more spacious. It is also a timeless look which can be complemented by a range of colours, so you have a lot more choice when it comes to choosing a tile for your floor. 

Kitchen floor tiles are an investment because they cover a large area, they’re harder to change later down the line, and they need to be durable and practical for everyday use. It’s therefore important to choose one that you know you’ll love for years to come. Our guide will talk you through the tiles that work best in a cream kitchen, helping you pick one that best suits your design needs! 

Stone effect 

Stone effect tiles work well with cream units because the grey tones provide a visually appealing contrast. They can form that base for a range of design schemes, from a country farmhouse to a cool contemporary look. They will also make your kitchen look more expensive and luxurious. 

Stone effect tiles look just like natural stone but are much more affordable and require less upkeep. Our floor tiles in this range are made from high-quality porcelain so they are highly durable and suitable for high-traffic areas of the home – perfect for the kitchen! Many of these tiles are also rectified, which means they have minimal grout lines for a sleek, modern look. 

Wood tones 

If you’ve chosen a cream-coloured kitchen, it’s important to add touches of warmth back in. You can achieve this using wood effect floor tiles. These replicate the rich tones and grain of natural wood while adding warmth, texture, and depth to the room. 

Wood effect floor tiles complement cream beautifully and will work with both traditional and modern design features. The organic texture will also help to ground your kitchen and create a feeling of calmness. Lay them vertically to your units to help elongate the space, or if you have a galley kitchen, lay them horizontally to make it appear wider. 

Our wood effect floor tiles come in a range of finishes, from rich brown to subtle grey. We also have chevron patterned options to add more visual interest to your space. To shop the full range, click here. 

Blue Tiles 

Blue is an ideal colour to incorporate into a cream kitchen. It complements the cream tones while creating a calming and welcoming atmosphere in the busiest room of the home. It is also an easy way to add visual interest and colour to the room without being overpowering. Embrace the beauty of blue in your kitchen with one of our stunning blue floor tiles!

Our Nouveau Blue tile is perfect for creating a focal point in a cream kitchen. These tiles consist of a blue and white pattern which will create a traditional feel in your kitchen. 

Lighter blues can make a cream kitchen feel brighter and bigger, preventing it from feeling too cramped. For example, the Mijas Celeste blue tile will help brighten up your kitchen while adding an eye-catching pattern to your floor. 

Pink 

The kitchen is the heart of the home, so it must have character – pink achieves exactly that! Pink has been making a huge comeback in the world of interiors as it is a versatile shade that adds a touch of retro elegance and sophistication to any room. It is perfect if you want to add a splash of colour and fun to a cream kitchen. 

Our Olden Pink Tile will complement cream kitchen cabinets like no other. With a baby pink background and a blocky black and white pattern, it is a combination of traditional and contemporary styles. Their design packs a punch in what would otherwise be a simple cream kitchen. They also have a brightening effect which will enhance the cream elements in the room. Despite their ornate design, these tiles are ready for whatever life has to throw at them. Made with precision from high-quality porcelain, they are incredibly durable and perfect for the floor. 

White 

It might come as a surprise, but white and cream make a good combination. A white tiled floor works perfectly with cream kitchen cabinets, achieving a fresh, bright look that makes the room look clean and tidy. 

To add another dimension to your design scheme, consider using a textured white floor tile such as marble effect. A timeless look, marble will make a room feel warm and luxurious. It will also make your kitchen look bigger while providing contrast to solid blocks of colour. To find the perfect marble effect floor tile for your cream kitchen, shop here. 

Black 

One interior trend that’s been making a huge comeback is the black tile. Black may sound drab and gloomy, but that is not the case! A black floor tile in a cream kitchen will add bold contrast, depth, and definition for a contemporary look. What’s more, they do not require frequent cleaning as they are better at concealing smudges, stains, and dried water droplets than lighter tiles. 

The Esagono Nero Hex Tile boasts an on-trend look that brings a modern flair to a cream kitchen. We recommend using dark grout with these tiles for a clean look that helps to hide any dirt. If you want to add some texture as well as contrast to your cream kitchen, go for the Diesel Oxide Matt Rectified Tile. This striking tile has an organic pattern which brings a raw element to your space, with a satin finish that’s perfect for achieving a more high-end look. 

Your floor tile can completely transform your cream kitchen, so it’s important to choose one that helps achieve your desired look. Whether you prefer a traditional or modern kitchen, the right floor tile will complement and enhance your cream design scheme.
