"Cement tiles and metro tiles are kitchen staples, combining vintage spirit and innovation. White, cream or pastel-patterned, cement tiles are always charming, but to play up the difference, opt for patchwoik: it's possible to make a made-to-measure selection for a personalized credenza, or even paint your own tiles with stencils and paints (at eleonore-deco.com). Or opt for colorful metro tiles! Zelliges are also making a comeback for their exotic charm. And let's not forget today's hottest trend: self-adhesive vinyls in trompe-l'oeil geometric patterns.
