Kate van Niekerk, marketing manager of Tile Africa, shares her advice on how you can use tiles to create a warm and cosy feeling in your kitchen.
"Use tiles in warm rustic colours such as terracottas, warm gold and chestnut browns," says Kate. Bring warm colours into the kitchen by using, for example, red glass mosaics as splashbacks or behind a stove.
Tiles are the perfect solution for a kitchen floor, wall and counter top as they are durable, water resistant, easy to clean and will continue to look beautiful through many years of use.
Lighting is very important in a kitchen. While bright lighting is needed for food preparation, consider installing atmospheric pools of light such as lights set into the base of wall cupboards shining onto counters.
