Gorgeous Tile Installations: Fresh Looks for Kitchens & Bathrooms

September 24, 2025

Are you envisioning a fresh, modern transformation for your home’s kitchen or bathroom? At Staxon Construction, our locally trusted tile installation services are designed to blend aesthetics, functionality, and long-lasting durability—tailored for the unique needs of homeowners in Kelowna, Vernon, Penticton, and across British Columbia. Whether you’re planning a new build or a renovation, exploring the right tile options can make all the difference in style, practicality, and property value.


Why Choose Tile for Kitchens and Bathrooms?


Tile remains a top choice for kitchens and bathrooms due to its water resistance, wide range of design options, and impressive longevity. The humid climate and temperature swings in BC’s Okanagan Valley make tile an especially smart investment. Here’s why:


- It’s easy to clean and maintain, making it ideal for busy kitchens and high-traffic bathrooms.

- Tiles offer endless creative potential, from classic ceramics to contemporary mosaics and natural stone.

- Properly installed tiles protect against water damage, helping to preserve the integrity of your space.

- With skilled installation from a reputable local contractor, tile can enhance not only aesthetics, but also your home’s resale value.


Top Tile Trends Making Waves in Kelowna and Area Homes


Our team at Staxon Construction closely follows leading design trends to ensure every project is on-point and timeless. Here’s what’s trending for kitchens and bathrooms across Kelowna, Peachland, and Lake Country:


Large-Format Tiles 

These striking tiles create seamless looks that reduce grout lines, resulting in a sleek, easy-to-clean surface. Perfect for both expansive bathrooms and open-concept kitchens.


Textured and Matte Finishes 

With options ranging from subtle textures to non-slip matte surfaces, these tiles not only look sophisticated but also boost safety—especially important in family spaces.


Natural Stone and Wood-Look Tiles 

Bring the warmth of nature indoors with stone-look porcelain or wood-look plank tiles. These materials deliver the aesthetics of natural elements without compromising on water resistance or durability.


Bold Patterns and Decorative Mosaics 

Homeowners in Penticton, Vernon, and Osoyoos are embracing accent walls, backsplashes, and custom patterns for added personality. Eye-catching mosaics, chevrons, and herringbone layouts deliver visual interest without overwhelming the space.


Benefits of Professional Tile Installation by Staxon Construction


Professional installation ensures your investment performs beautifully for years. Our experienced team delivers excellence through every step of the tile installation process:


- Complete assessment of your space to recommend the best tile options for function and style.

- Surface preparation, including cleaning, levelling, and waterproofing to prevent future issues.

- Expert layout and precise cuts, ensuring symmetry and design cohesion.

- Use of high-quality adhesives and grouts that stand up to Okanagan humidity and seasonal changes.


Considering a DIY approach? Professional installation helps avoid common problems such as uneven tiles, water seepage, and premature grout crumbling—issues that can put your home’s value at risk.


Local Insight: Choosing the Right Tiles for BC Interiors


When selecting tiles for kitchens and bathrooms in the Kelowna area, it’s important to consider:


- Climate and humidity: Opt for porcelain or ceramic for high-moisture zones.

- Slip resistance: Prioritize textured or matte finishes in bathrooms for family safety.

- Colour and pattern: Light-reflective tiles can brighten smaller rooms, while bold backsplashes provide focal points.

- Easy maintenance: Choose glazed or sealed tiles for low upkeep.


By connecting with a local contractor who understands BC’s unique environment and building standards, you’re making a smart investment in your property’s long-term comfort and appeal.
