Natural Stone Kitchen Tile Ideas
Offering beauty and practicality, natural stone flooring is the perfect choice when it comes to kitchen tiles. Natural stone tiles are an enduring and diverse floor covering providing dense and hardwearing materials and an authentic array of shades and detailing. As direct importers of stone floor tiles since 1995 and having an extensive collection of quality natural stone, we wanted to share natural stone kitchen tile ideas for your own kitchen.
Dijon Limestone Kitchen Tiles
Dijon limestone tiles are a timeless favourite that we have been importing for nearly 30 years. The longevity and beauty of Dijon limestone makes it an enduring trend when it comes to kitchen flooring. Dijon is a neutral toned limestone tile that czomplements an array of colour schemes with its soft beige and light grey hues. The minerals, fossils and calcite veining evident in this limestone offer a forgiving choice for both interior and exterior applications. Dijon limestone is also available in a variety of finishes and tile sizes - our most popular finishes being ‘tumbled’, ‘brushed’ and ‘seasoned’
Honey Beige Natural Stone Kitchen Tiles
Beige kitchen tiles have the ability to create a beautifully warm and inviting feel in any kitchen, especially when opting for the country look. The Tuscany tumbled limestone brings warmth and subtle movement, with its soft beige hues and gently worn edges. This natural stone pairs effortlessly with natural wood accents, making it the perfect addition for traditional kitchens. For added texture, look no further than the Sorrento aged tumbled limestone. With warm honey tones, aged surface texture and naturally occurring pitting and fossils this traditional limestone brings character and authenticity to any kitchen floor.
Neutral Natural Stone Kitchen Tiles
Neutral tones offer lasting elegance that never truly go out of style. Both white and cream kitchen tiles remain much loved shades of flooring, brightening any space whether large or small. Monte Carlo tumbled limestone features a durable and versatile option for a neutral kitchen, the cream tones in the surface also feature a unique array of fossils, adding to the charm of this limestone. The subtly tumbled edges make for a stone floor that can complement both contemporary and traditional properties equally well. Another neutral natural stone is the San Lorenzo Crema aged limestone displaying off white hues complemented by sweeping beige mottling, adding subtle character to any kitchen.
Grey Natural Stone Kitchen Tiles
The colour grey is one that has come and gone throughout the years, yet remains a classic shade used again and again. It is a colour associated with calmness, practicality, and balance. Grey tiles are a perfect kitchen flooring choice, whether it’s a soft pale grey or a rich grey with variation from tile to tile, the beauty of grey kitchen tiles lies in their ability to introduce depth and understated character to any space. The Farrow Grey tumbled limestone is a longstanding favourite, featuring beautiful tonal variations from dove grey through to soft anthracite. The oxidisation of iron offers warm copper hues, creating an ageless charm. This grey neutral toned tile lends itself to both modern and country projects alike, whilst the mineral and fossil detail evident, make it practical as grey natural stone flooring. Another option to achieve this look is the Clermont Gris Lightly Tumbled, its lightly worn finish and varying grey hues blend effortlessly, creating a timeless lived-in appearance.
Flagstone Natural Stone Kitchen Tiles
For centuries, estates and country homes have embraced flagstone flooring (natural stone slabs) for its durability and classic appearance that have stood the test of time. This heritage inspired style continues to appeal, with many opting for large format flagstones. One of the most popular choices is a ‘free length’ or ‘random length’ tile format, by which the widths are fixed (typically 500mm or 600mm) and the lengths vary randomly ranging upwards to 1000mm. This free length flagstone enhances the focus on the beauty of each tile making them suitable for kitchens of all sizes. Seen below is the Versailles Limestone 600xFL(700-1000mm) and Tuscany Seasoned Limestone 600xFL(700- 1000mm) in this random length format.
Rustic Natural Stone Kitchen Tiles
There is something undeniably charming about a rustic country kitchen and natural stone beautifully encapsulates the look. The Bordeaux Aged Chateau French limestone is a floor full of history, emulating the look you would see in traditional French Chateaus. The rich mushroom tones and a rustic, handcrafted finish, gives an appearance of a natural stone that has been there for hundreds of years. For a honey toned rustic tile, Clermont Gris Aged Tumbled is a characterful and enduring alternative. With tumbled edges, rich fossilisation and movement from tile to tile this forgiving limestone, works perfectly as a kitchen tile.
Marble Kitchen Tiles
An often overlooked stone for the kitchen - marble tiles can make an elegant yet practical kitchen flooring option. Marbles take very well to neoclassical designs including chequerboards and diamond-laid formats with cabochon inserts. This can help achieve a classic yet contemporary feel and is the perfect stone for a kitchen floor full of grandeur. A practical stone finish for a kitchen is tumbled marble, a softly tumbled, imperfect finish makes for a forgiving tile in busy areas. This finish typically yields soft pastel tones that blend seamlessly with kitchen interiors. The 'Parisian' marble tile collection is a wonderful example of this.
Slate Natural Stone Kitchen Tiles
If you are seeking a darker toned yet natural aesthetic in the kitchen, slate tiles are a wonderful way to introduce a richer colour palette, ranging from deep charcoal to soft greys. A long standing favourite, our Brazilian Black Riven slate creates a bold statement underfoot with its deep charcoal tones and gently worn surface. It is especially practical in utility areas, boot rooms, and high-traffic kitchens where a more textured, hardwearing stone is often preferred. Also available in grey is our Brazilian Grey slate tile.
