This makes it the perfect lining.

All in white, with the kitchen front painted a very attractive peach orange that combines magnificently with the white of the walls and also that of the kitchen furniture. A small sill has been left to make it easy to clean, but the rest of the walls are completely painted, without tiles, creating a kitchen with a modern aesthetic that is out of the traditional.

Although if you are looking for a kitchen without tiles that is totally out of the traditional, this can be a good example. The top of the walls has been left without cabinets and without tiling, and it has been painted an elegant and sophisticated grayish blue that looks phenomenal with the white of the furniture and the wood of the floor.

Another untiled kitchen, painted a tan and grayish earth tone. Although in this case, the front of the kitchen is tiled with ceramic imitation wood. It's actually the most sensible option, as the coated sill will always be easy to clean and is much more resistant to heat.

Kitchens without tiles work very well when the kitchen is open to the living room, since we can make it integrate better. In this other open kitchen they have opted for all white combined with black. A combination that never fails in any space. White kitchens will always be a trend.

We can also cover the walls with some color mortar, like this kitchen that has been covered with mortar with a light powdery pink touch.

It is a more traditional finish and gives the kitchen a charming touch, more welcoming than the cold tile or plain paint as we have seen above.

If you like pink for kitchens, then here you can see 17 modern pink kitchens. And some of them also have no tiles because they have been left untiled.

Kitchens without tiles can be given. Sometimes the furniture and cabinets take up almost all the space, leaving a small wall surface, in this case, it may not be worth tiling.

There are many other materials to cover kitchen walls without tiles, beyond paint, in case you are not interested in this option. One of them, also widely used, is lacquered glass, available in a wide variety of colors, like the one seen in this other kitchen, from the countertop to the ceiling.

Untiled walls, painted in a light gray with nuances of earth tones, white furniture and with the sill lined with tiles in a tone similar to that of the walls but darker.

It is practically necessary, or at least highly recommended, to cover the kitchen sill with a material that is easy to clean. The paint would wear off in a few days and it is very difficult to clean, if not impossible, at least completely.

If you don't like tile, you have at your disposal stones, such as marble, granite or modern terrazzo, among others, as well as lacquered glass, as we saw before, or mirror, among other options.

Another option is to put a tile very similar to the color of the countertop, to create a sense of continuity, in case you don't like cuts.

You raise the tile about 40 centimeters on the wall to protect it from heat and splashes, creating a practical kitchen front and the rest you paint as you want.

As we can see, even if you decide that untiled kitchens are your thing, at least consider the option of covering the front of it, to save yourself headaches with cleaning; There is a large number of coatings as you have seen in these kitchens without tiles, which make it a more practical space.
