White terracotta tiles: the perfect ally for your kitchen

We are all for boldness in aesthetic choices, which is why we always encourage our clients to customize their projects as much as they want to. Our glazed tiles catalogue offers endless creative possibilities, and before deciding on one we strongly suggest checking all of them out. However, we must admit that plain white terracotta tiles in a kitchen are always a slam dunk.

Why choose terracotta white tiles for your kitchen

Whenever we enter a room with walls covered in white tiles, the openness feeling is almost instant.

The whiteness on the walls reflects whatever natural or artificial light there is in the room, and any openings towards the exterior seem bigger.

However, the kindness of terracotta white tiles in a kitchen doesn’t stop at the feeling of spaciousness they provide. This is one of the most important rooms of a house, certainly the most important room in Mediterranean culture.

It is not just a meeting spot for people, but the room where we store, manipulate and ingest food. And as anyone who has ever cooked knows, the cooking activity ends up inevitably reflected on the kitchen walls.

Fumes, splashes and condensation end up accumulating in the walls and, overtime, become visible. Keeping a clean kitchen is necessary not just for decorum, but for our health. Which is why installing white terracotta tilework enhances the cleanliness of the room, the simple reason being that stains are more visible, and therefore easier to remove.

A clean white kitchen conveys an immediate feeling of comfort and trust. This is not to say that other colored tiles can’t do the same job, but those require closer inspection to determine the degree of cleaning needed.

Different kinds of kitchen tiles

You might like the idea of a white space for your kitchen, but are not convinced by traditional tiling. That is our cue.

With us, the only limit is your imagination! In our catalogue you’ll find endless terracotta formats, mixable and combinable in thousands of different ways. Even if you choose to use the same color for all the tiles, the patterns are perfectly distinguishable and will help you achieve whatever effect you want to create in the room. Besides, is not just the shapes and patterns that you can play with, but also the different kind of whites and its finished looks:

• For a shinier, shaper white, you have our glazed terracotta. We do the glazing with a method that respects the integrity of each individual piece.
• If you are looking for a more rustic, matte look, we’d recommend you take a look at our Antique terracotta tiles.

Get creative with color in the kitchen

Having a white wall does not mean that you can’t have other colors sprinkled here and there. Our color catalogue is in constant expansion, and we like to work hand in hand with our clients to make each project feel one hundred per cent personal.

So think about what specific tiles you’d like to have and in which colors to create your own design. You could add a discreet detail in a top corner of the kitchen, create a rug-like tessellation on the floor, or go big and do a big bold picture in the middle of the wall.

The possibilities are endless, but don’t worry if it feels overwhelming: that is what our Technical Office is for. We work closely with designers, architects and interiorists that will assist you throughout the whole process to help you make the best choices for you and your space.
