The Kaleidoscope and Fall collections by Ceusa are an example of the harmonious combination that breaks with identical patterns, bringing the shapes into space, but without neglecting the combination. Both are a safe bet for creating cozy and welcoming environments.

3. Combine colors and shades

It is essential to harmonize the colors and shades of the ceramic tiles in the kitchen with the overall scheme of the room. To do this, you need to take into account cabinets, countertops and other decorative elements.

Remember that neutral colors they offer a timeless look, while the vibrant tones can add personality and energy to the room.

4. Evaluate textures

In addition to the aesthetic aspect, the structure of the ceramic must also be taken into account. Choosing the correct texture for wet areas is important as it reduces the risk of slips and falls. This feature becomes even more relevant in homes with children and the elderly.

The natural texture is one of the most democratic and recommended, after all it does not receive any type of polishing, which allows it to be used in humid and covered outdoor environments, making it an ideal option for the kitchen.

In the project above, the PK NAT piece, from the Confete collection, covers the kitchen floor. Its light pink tone combines easily with other colors. The Optico Cement Mix Matte piece is part of the worktop, with a light gray shade that brings harmony and adds texture and beauty to the space.

5. Check the technical criteria and durability

Choosing durable ceramic tiles is essential, especially in an environment such as the kitchen.

Choosing quality ceramic not only guarantees resistance to stains and impacts, but also opens up a range of aesthetic possibilities, allowing you to choose between various colours, patterns and textures.

Below are some essential tips for evaluating the resistance of ceramic floors:

• check the resistance to scratches and abrasion: the first refers to scratches on the surface and the second to premature wear;
• analyze the finish: ceramics with a shiny surface can leave visible scratches;
• observe the PEI index: it guides the use of the coating according to the traffic of the construction site, from PEI-0 for walls to PEI-5 for heavy traffic.

Know that the high resistance of a ceramic coating is not synonymous with quality. What really matters is the correct harmonization between the chosen product, the place of application and the intended use of the space.

To avoid making mistakes when choosing, it is worth seeking advice from a specialized professional, such as a architect.

6. Seek professional help

Speaking of professional help, it is essential to remember that the correct installation and joining of ceramics and porcelain stoneware requires specific skills. Therefore it is necessary to invest in skilled labor to ensure a flawless finish.
