Ceramic tiles are a great addition to any kitchen area and work well on walls and especially backsplashes where there is high humidity. Glass tiles are also a great addition and are great for the kitchen because they are great at not absorbing moisture and keeping the kitchen clean. Glass tiles are also great for opening up small spaces because they naturally reflect light into any room.

Deciding which design you want is the first aspect of tiling your kitchen, and then getting as much information as you can about the various tiles available. Deciding the type of tile you will use is the second aspect and finally thinking about colors and styles.
