When you start building your dream home, every decision — from the structure to the smallest finish — matters. One such decision that often seems minor but makes a huge visual and functional difference is choosing the right tiles.
Tiles may look like simple floor or wall coverings, but they set the tone, texture, and personality of your interiors. The way light reflects off them, how they feel underfoot, and how easily they clean — all influence the comfort and beauty of your home.
At Kanakdhara Developer Pvt. Ltd., we’ve helped hundreds of families design and build homes across Uttar Pradesh — from Lucknow to Ayodhya, Prayagraj, Kanpur, and Unnao. One thing we always emphasize is that tiles should be chosen not just for looks, but for purpose, durability, and practicality.
In this blog, we’ll help you understand how to select the right tiles for different rooms, and how professional planning during construction ensures long-lasting results.
Why Tile Selection Matters in Construction
Tiles are one of the finishing layers that bring your construction project to life. The right choice of tiles can improve your home’s durability, safety, and even resale value.
When you select tiles during your house construction or interior design process, you’re making a long-term investment in both style and comfort. Poor tile choices, on the other hand, can lead to slippery floors, quick wear and tear, or visual imbalance.
That’s why, during Kanakdhara’s turnkey home construction process, tile selection is treated as a key stage — not an afterthought. Our architects, interior designers, and site engineers work together to ensure every tile serves its intended purpose perfectly.
Living Room Tiles — Creating an Inviting First Impression
The living room is the heart of your home — a place for family gatherings, guests, and relaxation. Here, your tiles need to reflect both warmth and sophistication.
Best Tile Finishes:
- Vitrified Tiles: Durable, smooth, and elegant — perfect for large living areas.
- Marble-Effect Tiles: Give a luxurious feel without the cost and maintenance of real marble.
- Wood-Finish Tiles: Add warmth and natural texture, ideal for cozy interiors.
Kanakdhara’s Tip:
Use large-sized tiles for the living room floor. They make the space look more open and premium. Pair them with neutral colors like beige, off-white, or light grey for a timeless look.
We often use matte or semi-gloss tiles in living rooms because they reduce glare and are easier to maintain than high-gloss finishes.
Kitchen Tiles — Balancing Beauty with Function
he kitchen is one of the hardest-working areas of your home. Here, tiles need to withstand heat, oil, stains, and frequent cleaning.
When Kanakdhara designs a kitchen, we look for tiles that combine durability, hygiene, and easy maintenance.
Recommended Options:
- Floor Tiles: Anti-slip vitrified tiles with a matte finish.
- Wall Tiles: Glazed ceramic or glossy finish tiles for easy cleaning.
- Backsplash Tiles: Patterned or mosaic tiles add visual charm without overwhelming the space.
Design Advice from Kanakdhara:
Use light-colored tiles to make small kitchens feel spacious. Combine glossy wall tiles for easy wipe-downs with textured floor tiles for safety.
Our design team ensures proper alignment, grout sealing, and tile slope during construction — so spills and cleaning never become a problem later.
Bathroom Tiles — Safety Above All
Bathrooms are wet zones, and tile selection here directly affects safety and durability. The wrong tile finish can cause slips, water seepage, or mold over time.
Ideal Tile Types for Bathrooms:
- Floor Tiles: Anti-skid matte tiles for grip and safety.
- Wall Tiles: Glossy or satin-finish tiles for moisture protection.
- Accent Tiles: Mosaic or 3D texture tiles can create a beautiful spa-like feature wall.
Kanakdhara’s Recommendation:
Always go for smaller-sized floor tiles with more grout lines — this provides better friction.
We also ensure proper slope and waterproofing during bathroom construction to prevent water stagnation and seepage behind tiles.
Bedroom Tiles — Comfort and Calmness
Unlike the bathroom or kitchen, your bedroom flooring is more about comfort and mood than heavy functionality. You want tiles that feel calm, warm, and elegant.
Best Tile Choices for Bedrooms:
- Wood-Look Tiles: Give warmth like natural wood but are scratch-resistant.
- Porcelain Tiles: Strong, stylish, and available in matte finishes that suit soft lighting.
- Stone-Effect Tiles: Perfect for modern or rustic interiors.
Kanakdhara Insight:
We often recommend soft, neutral tiles — such as sand, taupe, or pastel tones — to make the bedroom feel cozy.
Our interior designers also pair tile colors with wall paints and furniture finishes during design planning, ensuring the entire space feels harmonious.
Balcony and Outdoor Tiles — Strength Meets Weather Resistance
Outdoor areas like balconies, terraces, and verandas face direct sunlight, rain, and dust. The tiles here need to be tough, non-slippery, and fade-resistant.
Best Options:
- Full-Body Vitrified Tiles: Long-lasting and weatherproof.
- Textured or Stone-Finish Tiles: Provide natural grip and beauty.
- Terracotta or Rustic Tiles: Add charm to traditional-style homes.
Kanakdhara Construction Standard:
During construction, our team ensures outdoor areas have proper drainage slopes and anti-slip tile installation. We use UV-resistant materials that don’t lose color over time — ensuring your balconies stay beautiful for years.
Choosing Wall Tiles — The Designer’s Secret Weapon
Wall tiles aren’t just for bathrooms and kitchens anymore. Modern homes use designer wall tiles to create statement areas — behind the TV unit, along staircases, or even in the bedroom.
Trendy Wall Tile Choices:
- 3D Wall Tiles: Create depth and a modern feel.
- Subway Tiles: Perfect for kitchens or small feature walls.
- Marble or Stone Patterns: Offer luxury and timeless appeal.
Kanakdhara’s interior team integrates wall tiles into overall room concepts — ensuring lighting, wall color, and tile finish complement each other perfectly.
Tile Finishes: Glossy, Matte, or Textured — Which to Choose?
The finish of your tiles affects both their look and function. Here’s how to decide:
- Glossy Tiles: Reflect light, perfect for small or dark rooms. But they can be slippery, so use them on walls, not floors.
- Matte Tiles: Soft, elegant, and non-slippery — ideal for floors and bathrooms.
- Textured Tiles: Add depth, grip, and a natural feel — great for exteriors and accent walls.
At Kanakdhara, we guide clients through real samples during the interior selection phase, helping them visualize how different finishes behave under their home’s actual lighting.
Tile Size and Pattern: The Subtle Art of Space Design
The size and layout of tiles can change how large or small a space feels.
- Large Tiles (600×600 mm or more): Create a seamless, luxurious look in living rooms and bedrooms.
- Medium Tiles: Great for kitchens and hallways.
- Small Tiles or Mosaics: Perfect for bathrooms or curved surfaces.
Our designers use visual balance and symmetry when planning tile layouts, ensuring joints align neatly with room geometry and furniture placement.
Common Mistakes Homeowners Make with Tiles
Even beautiful tiles can look mismatched or wear out early if chosen or installed incorrectly. Here are mistakes to avoid:
- Choosing looks over practicality (e.g., glossy tiles in wet areas).
- Ignoring slip resistance and water absorption.
- Mixing too many patterns in small spaces.
- Poor quality grout and uneven leveling.
- Not sealing edges properly in bathrooms and balconies.
Kanakdhara ensures flawless tile laying and finishing, with level checks, correct adhesives, and sealed joints — preventing cracks or leakage later.
