Kitchen Colour trends 2023 – Black tiles

The kitchen is the heart of the home. It’s not just where your food is prepared; it’s where everyone gathers, and memories are made. It’s also where feelings of warmth, care and cosiness are evoked so it’s important that your kitchen reflects you and your style. If that’s no longer the case, then it could be time for a refresh.

So, if your cooking space could do with a spruce, through this blog series we’ll give you a roundup of the predicted hottest colour trends to really set your kitchen on fire.

The new black

First up, we have black. A bold choice taken from a midnight sky, this colour can make your kitchen stand out and give you excellent opportunities for accessories and personalising your finishing touches. As black goes with everything, your complementary combinations are limitless. 

Pairing black cabinets with tiled walls or splashback lends to a variety of statements from a chic all black creation to an industrial incarnation with different colour accents. The choice is quite literally yours to personalise as you wish.

Tile it black

However, if you’re not ready to overhaul your kitchen units, simply revamping by changing your tiles is a great, cost-effective way to go. We’ve even got you covered on how to do that with our collection of Learn to Tile guides and blogs.

To give you some inspiration, here’s some of our favourite looks:

Nissel black brick tile | 7.5x30cm

Gloss black brick tiles on walls or as a splashback can bring a new dynamic to your surroundings. Smaller wall tiles give you the ability to choose different layouts such as a brick effect or herringbone tile pattern which can add an extra Victorian touch.
