Cream Kitchen Tiles - Natural Stone

Natural limestone tiles are one of the most classic and elegant options for kitchen tiles. A soft, cream hue further adds to this enduring look, being both a traditional shade as well as acting as a neutral backdrop for any other interior décor or colour choices. Our vast range of limestone flooring features many varieties of cream toned tiles.

For something that can fit the style of many different projects, our Monte Carlo tumbled limestone offers a durable and versatile cream kitchen tile. The subtly tumbled edges make for a limestone floor that can complement both contemporary and traditional properties equally well. The neutral cream tones in the surface of the tile also feature a unique array of fossils, adding to the timeless charm of this cream kitchen tile staple.

This tile has a rich cream tone, along with rustic hand-chiselled edges and an aged, textured surface making this cream kitchen tile perfect for traditional or country homes.

Cream Kitchen Tiles - Stone Effect

Whilst natural stone is a beautiful choice when it comes to cream kitchen tiles, you may prefer a stone effect porcelain. Our collection of cream porcelain kitchen tiles recreates the look, feel and charm of a traditional natural stone floor, with the benefit of a non-porous surface, making this a great option for busy homes or kitchens that see a lot of footfall and usage. With realistic stone effect prints, and even tumbled-effect edges available, you can recreate the natural flagstone look in your kitchen.

Cream Kitchen Tiles - Walls & Splashbacks

Another area in which you may be interested in cream kitchen tile ideas is for walls and splashbacks. In a neutral cream tone, a tiled splashback can work beautifully to tie together matching or contrasting décor and floor elements, as well as adding the practicality of an easy to clean tiled area behind sinks or cooking spaces. The appeal of cream splashback tiles is that our collection features a wide variety of different sizes, shapes and finishes, allowing you have fun and choose the right fit for your space.

The Farini Chalk is a square porcelain tile that is well suited to use as a cream kitchen tile splashback. This authentic recreation of a traditional Zellige tile features a glazed finish providing an artisanal, handmade look and the pale cream tone pairs beautifully with many other shades you might implement in your kitchen. You may also want to use another colour in our Farini range to create a unique and characterful chequerboard pattern, such as this project that pairs the Chalk colour with the Farini Cinnamon.

Metro tiles are a classic and timeless option for cream kitchen splashbacks. Their versatile small shape allows them to be laid in many different patterns, such as a traditional ‘brick’ bond or a popular herringbone design. Our Pastello Seashell gloss metro tiles are a rustic and tonally varied choice, with a rich array of cream tones, whilst our Zellige Natural metro tiles provide a uniform and soothing pale cream hue with an Zellige-style glazed finish.

FAQs

Is porcelain or natural stone a better choice for cream kitchen tiles?

There are definite positives to both porcelain and natural limestone, and which one you opt for often depends on personal preference. Real limestone always offers the benefit of natural texture and details such as fossils that are unique from tile to tile. On the other hand, porcelain offers a very realistic interpretation of this look, with a non-porous surface making them very easy to clean and take care of.
