We provide you with our top advice for selecting the ideal kitchen backsplash among all types of tiles, like glossy or matte.
Glossy or matte tiles for shower
You should be aware that our backsplash constantly catches our attention.
It is an essential component in your space because of this.
Our lead designer at La Tuilerie, Stéphanie Bouchard, adds that "it's a unifying aspect of the kitchen.
However, we experimented with the backsplash since we wanted everything to be in harmony (cabinets, floors, countertops, faucets, and backsplash).
Either we draw attention to the backsplash, or it serves as a connecting element for the entire décor.
Here are our top five recommendations to aid with decision-making and then some features you should know about glossy and matte tiles.
1.Take your time! The kitchen backsplash is frequently decided upon near the end of the project.
You've already had to make a number of choices and respond to a number of unanticipated situations.
In other words, you are eager to proceed and finish it.
But our chief designer, Stéphanie Bouchard, advises "taking the time to find the ideal kitchen backsplash.
Because you'll see it every day, it's crucial that you enjoy it.
So breathe, in and out, deeply! 2- Take some of your kitchens with you when you go shopping.
Once you've decided on your kitchen cabinets and countertops, you'll be prepared to go shopping for backsplash tiles.
Consider bringing your cabinet door and a sample of your countertop with you when you go tile shopping.
The objective is to achieve a balance between these three components so that you may design a lovely kitchen.
You can also create mood boards or inspirations.

You can choose wisely if you consider these factors.
Additionally, we advise using the same design in every interior space.
3.Decide whether you prefer glossy or matte tiles.
You can use this question to guide your decision-making.
Depending on the finish, this factor will alter the look of your backsplash and how it reflects light.
Before choosing a glossy or matte backsplash, Stéphanie (head designer at La Tuilerie) notes that "the shine of the glossy tile will provide a lot of light.
Therefore it's vital to examine the light (whether it's natural or artificial)."
The finish of the tile also matters when it comes to upkeep.
While matte or textured tiles have a tendency to hold dirt better, glossy tiles make wiping and cleaning easier.
For this reason, we protect porous or natural stone tiles with three layers of sealant.
"Reapplying the sealant every three years, since it helps protect the natural stone," says Stéphanie Bouchard.
To extend the life of this protection, we also advise using a curtain cleaning.
