The kitchen is often considered to be the heart of the home, a space where families and friends gather, meals are prepared and memories are made. Choosing the right floor tiles can completely transform the look and feel of a space and the versatility of porcelain allows you to showcase your own style. We are extremely excited to introduce two exceptional kitchen floor tiles that blend exquisite style and versatility: The Instone Bone Tiles from the Beautiful Natural Stone effect porcelain collection by Edimax Astor, and the Windsor White and Ivory Matt Modular Tiles from Ceramica Rondine.
Porcelain for Perfect Floor Tiles
But before we dive into the specifics of our amazing trending kitchen tiles, it is important to mention why porcelain is one of the most durable materials and perfect for kitchen floors and wet areas.
It is no exaggeration to say that porcelain tiles have revolutionised interior design, offering an unparalleled blend of beauty, durability and versatility. Crafted from refined clay, which is subjected to immense pressure and heat, porcelain tiles emerge as exceptionally dense and non-porous surfaces. This inherent strength makes them hard-wearing, and highly resistant to scratches, stains, and moisture, ensuring they retain their pristine appearance even in a demanding kitchen or bathroom environment. They are extremely low maintenance and their slip-resistant properties enhance safety, particularly in areas prone to spills.
Extraordinary Canvas
Beyond their practicality, porcelain tiles offer an extraordinary canvas for mimicking the textures, different colours and patterns of natural materials. Their ability to replicate the intricate veins of marble, the rustic charm of limestone, the earthy warmth of travertine, and even the neutral tones of real wood has opened up a fantastic range of design possibilities when it comes to bathroom floor tiles.
Instone Tiles: Where Natural Beauty Meets Modern Technology
From our wide selection of porcelain tiles, one of the standout examples for kitchens is the Instone Bone Tiles from Edimax Astor’s Beautiful Natural Stone porcelain collection. This exceptional tile meticulously replicates all the beauty of travertine, showcasing a light-toned base enlivened by a captivating blend of shades and veining.
The tile’s true magic lies in its high-definition 3D surface, a testament to cutting-edge ceramic technology. It creates an unprecedented level of realism, allowing you to truly appreciate the intricate details of the stone effect. You can almost feel the natural texture as your hand glides over the intricate vein patterns and subtle undulations.
A harmonious blend of aesthetics and innovation, it is not difficult to see why these Edimax Instone Bone Tiles are a popular choice with our customers.
A Versatile Choice
Manufactured for both walls and floors, these tiles are incredibly versatile. Its travertine stone effect porcelain is not only visually stunning but also highly durable, making it the perfect tile choice for high-traffic areas. Its neutral tone makes it a harmonious backdrop for a wide selection of colour palettes, from the classic combination of white and grey to the bolder juxtaposition of black and gold. Whether you opt for a minimalist look or a more eclectic style, these Instone Bone Tiles can effortlessly adapt.
A Practical Flooring Solution
While these Instone Bone Tiles are undeniably beautiful, they are also highly practical for everyday use. The porcelain makes it incredibly durable and resistant to wear and tear. This is particularly important in high-traffic areas such as kitchens, where spills, foot traffic, and heavy appliances can take a toll on flooring materials. These anti-slip tiles are designed to withstand the challenges of busy households, ensuring that your kitchen floor remains pristine and elegant for years to come.
Low Maintenance
In addition to its durability, Instone Bone Tiles are also easy to maintain. Unlike natural stone, which can be porous and require regular sealing and maintenance, these tiles are non-porous and resistant to stains. This makes them a practical choice where ease of cleaning is a top priority. A simple wipe with a damp cloth is usually enough to keep the tiles looking fresh and clean, making them a convenient option for a modern lifestyle.
Different Tile Sizes
When it comes to transforming your kitchen with the Instone Tiles, the possibilities are endless. Whether you prefer a contemporary, minimalist look, or a more traditional, rustic style, these tiles can adapt to suit your design preferences.
- Contemporary Elegance: For a sleek, contemporary kitchen, consider using larger sizes such as 75×45 cm or 45×45 cm. The light colour and subtle variations will create a clean, airy feel, making the room appear larger and more open. Match the tiles with modern, streamlined furniture in shades of white or grey for a cohesive and sophisticated look. Add stainless steel appliances and minimalist fixtures to complete the premium finish of your contemporary design.
- Rustic Charm: If you prefer a more rustic, traditional style, these Instone Tiles are right on trend to achieve a warm and inviting atmosphere in your house. Opt for a modular mix of sizes, such as 45×30 cm, and 30×30 cm, to create a more dynamic and textured floor. The natural stone effect of these tiles will add character and charm, while the mixed sizes will give the floor a handmade, artisanal feel. Pair the tiles with wooden cabinets and vintage fixtures for a cosy, farmhouse-inspired kitchen.
Beyond the Kitchen
The versatility of these stunning Instone Tiles is truly remarkable. While they excel as stylish kitchen floors, their elegance and durability extend far beyond this space. Transform bathrooms, hallways, and even living areas with their captivating stone effect. Create a cohesive and stylish home by using them consistently throughout your home or as striking accents.
Why limit yourself to the floor? Unleash your creativity by using Instone Tiles as a feature wall in your kitchen or bathroom. The tile’s lifelike 3D surface will add depth and drama, transforming a simple wall into a captivating focal point.
Beyond interior spaces, Instone Tiles are equally impressive outdoors. Their durability and weather resistance make them perfect for conservatories and other areas exposed to the elements. Seamlessly transition from indoor to outdoor living while maintaining a cohesive design aesthetic.
Windsor Modular Tiles: Timeless Elegance with a Modern Twist
Another exceptional choice for your kitchen floor is the Windsor Modular tiles series by Ceramica Rondine. This collection breathes new life into reclaimed Montpellier stone through refined porcelain stoneware. The Windsor series is characterized by its unique texture and various colour nuances, which provide ample opportunities to create striking and distinctive environments.

The Windsor Modular tiles bear the marks of time, giving them an authentic and lived-in appearance.

This variety allows for a range of design possibilities, enabling you to create unique patterns and layouts that suit your personal style. Whether you prefer a uniform look or a more eclectic mix, these modular tiles provide the flexibility to achieve your desired look.
The Unique Texture of Windsor Modular Tiles
The Windsor Modular tiles are truly a testament to the beauty of reclaimed stone. Each tile is designed to replicate the look and feel of Montpellier stone, with its weathered appearance and rich history. The colour nuances of the tiles further enhance their authentic appearance. With shades ranging from soft ivory to warm beige, the tiles create a sense of depth that mimics the natural ageing process of stone, adding character and charm to any space.
The Practical Benefits of Windsor Modular Tiles
In addition to their stunning appearance, these Windsor Modular tiles offer several practical benefits. Like the Instone Tiles, these are also made from porcelain, making them highly durable and resistant to wear and tear. This is particularly important in high-traffic areas such as kitchens, where spills and messes are a common occurrence.
