Our 8 Most Popular Marble-Effect Kitchen Floor Tiles
There are so many different types of marble effect tiles to choose from that it can be overwhelming. We’ve chosen 8 of our favourite marble-effect tiles to help you create a unique look in your kitchen.
1) Classic White Marble Floor Tiles
| Our recommendations: Torano Dorado and Vita |
This is the most popular marble effect you’ll come across, and with good reason. This classic marble design exudes luxury while remaining elegant and subtle. It’s perfect for creating a timeless and sophisticated look in your kitchen.
The Torano Dorado tile is a stunning example of Paonazzo marble with a beautiful dark veining that brings warmth to the tile. It’s available in a Gloss finish for a more contemporary look or a Matt finish for a more traditional feel. Matt tiles tend to have better non-slip than glossy tiles, so that may be a factor to consider when choosing between the two.
The Vita tile is ideal if you want a marble effect that features heavier veining. The soft grey veining is thicker than some other designs, helping avoid a finish that’s too harsh or clinical.

2) Stunning Blue Marble Veining Tiles
| Our recommendation: Crash |
If you want to break with tradition entirely, marble kitchen tiles with striking blue veining can make your kitchen truly unique. Blue is a versatile colour that works well with neutral or bright accents, making it an excellent choice for any kitchen.
The Crash tile features gorgeous blue veins with grey tones running through the white base to create a warm and inviting feel. It’s perfect for creating a contemporary look in your kitchen. Made from hard-wearing porcelain, these tiles can stand up to even the busiest family kitchens.

3) Warm Gold Marble Tiles
| Our recommendation: Topaz Gold and Ski in Gold Canazei |
To keep your kitchen feeling warm, choosing marble effect tiles with gold undertones is an excellent option. These tiles give off a warmth that can elevate any kitchen design without being too overpowering.
The Topaz Gold tile features stunning gold and brown tones mixed with softer white to create an authentic marble effect. It’s a versatile tile that works well as a wall and floor tile.
The Ski tile is an excellent choice for a slightly more understated look. The gold veining shade, Gold Canazei, comes in gloss and matt finishes – both as beautiful looking as the other. They’re also large tiles, which work incredibly well in small spaces to create the illusion of a bigger space and in larger areas for a more dramatic effect.

4) Black and Gold Marble Floor Tiles
| Our recommendation: Marquina and Naos |
When creating a modern, sophisticated look in your kitchen, there’s nothing better than black and gold marble.
Bringing modern style to your kitchen is super simple with our Marquina tiles. These large-format, black marble-effect tiles feature subtle gold and grey veins, creating a dramatic yet elegant look in any kitchen.
If you like the look of black marble but don’t want gold veining, the Naos tiles in the Deep colourway are an ideal option. They still feature that stunning black marble, but the veining is grey and white for a more natural look. They’re also made from porcelain, which is a great material for kitchen floors.

5) Monochrome Hexagonal Marble
| Our recommendation: Hexa Terni |
For a unique look, you can get creative with the shape of your kitchen tiles. Choosing tiles that break away from the security of square or rectangle shapes is perfect for bringing a more fun, luxe look to the room.
Our Hexa Terni tiles are the perfect tile to add an interesting twist to classic white and sleek black marble. These hexagonal tiles feature a high-gloss finish and have a beautiful dark grey veining to keep your room looking modern and stylish.
Use the black and white colours alongside each other to create a sort of ‘untraditional checkerboard’ effect, or opt for one colour to create a more seamless look.
What Are Marble Effect Kitchen Tiles Made From?
Marble-effect tiles are usually made from ceramic or porcelain. These are incredibly tough and durable materials that create perfect products for even the busiest household traffic.
Ceramic is a popular choice for its affordability, while porcelain offers excellent strength and resistance to wear and tear.
The manufacturing process of marble effect tiles involves creating a design that mimics the natural veining and colour variations of real marble. A high-resolution image is printed onto the tile surface before being glazed with protective layers to create an authentic look and feel. Most people won’t even know the difference!
How to Choose the Right Marble Effect Kitchen Floor Tiles
Now you’ve got some inspiration for giving your home a refresh, there are some simple things that you should consider when deciding on new tiles for your kitchen. Below are our top tips for what to think about when looking to buy new tiles.
- Budget. Marble effect tiles are a much more cost-effective option than real marble. However, prices can still vary depending on the tile’s size, design and material. Make sure to set a budget before you start shopping so that you don’t overspend.
- Style and Aesthetic. Your kitchen is one of the most used rooms in your home, so it’s essential to choose tiles that you love and will enjoy for years to come. Consider the overall style and aesthetic of your kitchen when choosing tiles. Do you want a classic and timeless look or something more modern and unique?
- Maintenance. While marble effect tiles are much easier to maintain than real marble, they still require some care. Check the tile’s maintenance instructions before purchasing to ensure you are comfortable with the upkeep.
- Size and Layout. The size and layout of your kitchen will also play a role in selecting tiles. If you have a smaller kitchen, large format tiles may not be suitable as they can make the space look cramped. Consider using smaller mosaic tiles instead. Also, think about how you will lay the tiles out. A diagonal pattern can make a small kitchen appear more spacious.
- Practicality. Finally, it’s important to choose tiles that are practical for your home and lifestyle. If you have young children or pets, consider non-slip tiles, and if your kitchen is prone to spills and stains, opt for easy-to-clean and stain-resistant tiles.
