Countertop Tiles: Are They Right For You?
April 24, 2025
Countertop tiles are a retro trend that have recently come back in style as a delightful new alternative to marble or quartz. Since tiles come in all shapes, sizes, and finishes, they allow you to achieve very specific looks that pair well with different colours and materials. They’re a great option for someone who wants to go bold with their next kitchen. And for those stuck with a dated laminate countertop, tiled countertops can be installed over existing laminate ones.

Find a Well-Made Tile
When you start your search for your next countertop tile, make sure to find one that is resilient and well-made. You generally want to stay away from glass, or low-quality tiles. At Trini Tile, we source our tiles from the world’s top manufacturers. If you have questions about countertop tile selection, our team would be happy to offer their expert advice.
A Timeless Look
Cottage and Sea’s mint-coloured countertop tiles.
Tiled countertops allow you to achieve a classic look, with retro inspiration. Glossy tiles add a timeless accent that pairs well with solid-coloured cabinets, and metallic fixtures. This style is also a great way to add personality to a white kitchen, especially if you compliment it with retro-inspired gold, black, or silver fixtures and accents.
Rustic, European Charm

Tiled countertops are also the best way to complete a rustic, European aesthetic. This look pairs best with light-coloured tiles that have irregular surfaces and a glossy finish. The irregular surface exudes a hand-made look, adding character and charm, and achieving an old-world aesthetic.
No matter what aesthetic you’re going for, we have the tiles to get you there. Contact our experts today.
