Open Kitchen with Large-Format Stone-Look Porcelain Floor

From preparation to finished surface

These photos show a large kitchen with white cabinets, a black island with a gas cooktop, a second white island and a glass-paneled door. The whole floor is large rectangular porcelain in a light warm gray, with soft veining that reads like natural stone.

In a kitchen this size, large tile means fewer grout lines to clean, but it also needs a flat floor and careful planning around islands, cabinet toe kicks and doorways so cuts land in less visible places. Whether tile goes under or around cabinets, how transitions to other rooms are handled and how the subfloor is prepared are decided for each project.

Installation details to note

1. Large rectangular stone-look porcelain covers the full kitchen floor.
2. The tile runs around two islands and along the perimeter cabinets.
3. Soft gray veining is spread across the floor so no single pattern repeats in one spot.
4. Grout joints are narrow and close to the tile color, so the floor reads as one surface.
