There are many reasons homeowners, builders and remodelers continue to gravitate toward glazed ceramics in the home. Ceramic tile kitchens, for example, are ideally suited to the cooking and eating environment. The flexibility to arrange any color or pattern, anywhere in the room, opens up many highly attractive options for decor. A quality ceramic wall tile resists the effects of grease and other stains, is easy to clean and stays looking new year after year. No wonder tiling has remained one of the most popular materials in the home for centuries.

A tiled surface does more than repel stains and reflect light. An artisan-made decorative ceramic wall tile also makes a terrific conversation piece. Even the most basic color scheme in most ceramic tile kitchens can contribute to the value of a home. But, with a little imagination, smart advice and careful planning, a beautifully tiled kitchen can be even more spectacular. Include a just few hand painted pieces along a border or amidst a solid backdrop for optimal effect, and see what a difference it makes.

When you see Pacilantic.com's incredible selection of gorgeous glass, metal and porcelain, it is easy to get carried away and buy more than you need. But, try not to think of hand painted ceramic tiles as a material with which to cover an entire surface. Besides being far more expensive than solid-colored field pieces, the intricate patterns and still-life works on them are probably best viewed in small quantities. Instead, choose one or two base colors for most of the surface area, and then select a few well-lighted spots in which to place decorative pieces.
