timber-look tiles, low-maintenance option in the kitchen now have timber-look ceramic and porcelain floor tiles,” says Amebsury. “These are available in various plank dimensions and colourways – both natural and abstract.” These planks, with their textural variations and slightly weathered look, are particularly striking when laid in a herringbone pattern, as pictured here.
Bright strip lighting is ideal for work areas, but be sure to add in-cabinet lighting in those with glass doors, task lighting where you need it, and dimmable feature lighting to set the mood. And make sure each can be turned on and off independently of the others, so you have complete control.

The luxe look of marble can also be perfectly replicated with extra-large-format porcelain slab tiles, digitally printed to mimic the look of the real thing. “The good thing about the tile industry at the moment is that any surface can be replicated in tile, it’s a real game changer,” says Simpson. Porcelain slab tiles are available in sizes up to 1200 x 600 millimetres, and can be used on benchtops, walls and splashbacks, as well as on the floor. “If you want a certain vein through your marble or you want to book-match it [when slabs of stone are laid so that the adjoining surfaces mirror each other, like an open book], the porcelain slab is perfect because you know exactly what you’re getting: you see it in the showroom and that’s what you get in the kitchen,” says Simpson. Manufacturing technologies are now so advanced, he adds, that “you really can’t tell that it’s a porcelain tile. But because it’s porcelain, it’s impervious to water and stains, chemical attack and things like that. It doesn’t need to be sealed or re-polished, it’s got certain advantages over natural stone”.
