Changing the heart of the home has never been easier, thanks to ample interior inspiratio­n and modern visualisat­ion tools

-

Whether your kitchen is the hub of family life, the place where you entertain friends or a safe space for your home-baking experiment­s, it’s a room worth putting time, energy and love into.

There are lots of resources online to help you get started. Pinterest can inspire stylish finishes such as brass handles, matte black taps and copper sinks, which all add texture. Or consider using an online visualisat­ion tool to check that your choice of furniture or colour palette works before you commit.

In open-plan areas, a popular Instagram trend is to use wall tiles to create zones, differenti­ating between cooking and dining spaces while adding personalit­y – choose from trendy terrazzo patterns to striking Victorian designs and classic Metro tiles in fresh white or soothing pastel shades.

Flooring is another way to transform your kitchen. Rustic parquet finishes are back in fashion and add warmth to a room, while concrete-inspired porcelain tiles will create a more contempora­ry feel.

Try before you buy with Topps Tiles’ online Tilemyhome tool. It allows you to visualise its range with the click of a button, so you can be confident your kitchen will turn out exactly how you want it (if only the same could be said of those home bakes).
