Large-format tile<\/a> (available in sizes up to 48″ x 48″) covers more surface area with fewer grout lines. It can even mimic the look of a single stone slab, like the Calacata Evora marble<\/a> featured on this kitchen backsplash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pro Tip:<\/strong> Choose a tile with a rectified edge to further minimize the appearance of grout joints.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you love the look of hardwood but worry about bacteria settling into the grain, durable, stylish wood-look porcelain<\/a> could be the perfect kitchen flooring solution.

When properly sealed, marble<\/a> or porcelain tile<\/a> is spill-, stain- and heat-resistant. It\u2019s also more economical to maintain\u2014if a chip occurs, you can replace a single tile rather than the entire counter. This transitional kitchen features Firenze Carrara marble<\/a> for an elegant, one-of-a-kind surface, but for superior stain resistance, you can opt for durable porcelain tile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pro Tip:<\/strong> Regularly seal your grout to keep your kitchen looking pristine.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Taking your tile design to the ceiling isn\u2019t just a style trend\u2014it also provides extra protection for your walls.
