Lately, tile kitchen countertops are starting to look surprisingly modern. Once a kitchen staple throughout the 70s, 80s, and 90s, these days thrifty homeowners see tile as an affordable alternative to more expensive counter materials such as quartz, marble, and granite.
Even better, anyone with basic do-it-yourself skills can install some tile. So if you are looking for creative ways to refresh your cooking space without going broke, behold these inspirational tile kitchen counters.
Today’s tile offerings include fired tiles, such as ceramic or porcelain, and tiles cut from larger stones, such as slate, travertine, and granite. There are also striking glass tiles on the market.
And while tile is seen everywhere now—on floors, shower walls, even roofs—on kitchen countertops it serves not only as a design element but also as a surface for food preparation.
