KITCHEN

Kitchen floors face a lot of wear and tear, so the flooring should be water-resistant, durable, fire-proof, bacteria-free and easy to wash. Suchita Talwar, director, Nolte Home Studio says, “Ceramic and porcelain tiles fulfill these requirements, have a long life and do not require regular polishing. Slate, vinyl and terracotta are other options for kitchens.”

SLATE: A comfortable, durable and easy to maintain option for kitchens is the natural stone, slate. Tan, grey, rust and black are some of the colours available in slate tiles, the dark hues of which work well for your cooking space.
