Style 101: Choosing the Perfect Floor Tiles

Whether you’re dreaming of a cool and contemporary kitchen or something a little more rustic, it’s the floor tiles which have the power to really set off the tone of the room. Don’t believe the rumours about choosing your accessories first; starting from the bottom-up in interior design means your flooring is guaranteed to go hand-in-hand with everything from the built-in cabinets to the art hanging on your wall.

With so many tiles to choose from, it can be difficult to decide on which is the best option for your home. With everything from the colour to the finish contributing to the overall effect, deciding on the perfect floor tiles is not something that should be taken lightly. That’s why in today’s post, our interior design experts are talking you through the different styles of floor tiles – so you can feel confident in getting the look that you desire.

Lavish and luxurious: black floor tiles 

Black is the colour of mystery and elegance, so it’s no surprise that it’s such an apt choice for a sophisticated and stylish home. While these darker hues are generally best avoided on the walls, when it comes to the flooring, black breaks all the rules. The glossy finish of black quartz tiles creates a reflective sheen to make the entire room gleam, allowing natural light to bounce around the room. Black will always be the new black as this chic shade sets off any colour, so go modern in monochrome with white sparkle floor tiles or edge a bright mosaic floor with a black border.

Urban and industrial: concrete floor tiles

For a bathroom or kitchen that’s right on trend, make it modern with concrete brick tiled flooring. The combination of industrial-style tiles in a domestic home may be out there, but it’s also ultra modish and proving increasingly popular with home decor projects. With the revolution of disobeying traditional social conventions, it’s time to get creative and contemporary with interior design. Why not inject some bohemian style into your decor with vibrant tones, abstract art and Boheme Grigio floor tiles? This matt finish brings a sense of elegance to the room, but won’t overpower your artistic input on the walls.

Pristine and polished: porcelain floor tiles

Busy areas like the kitchen and bathroom are going to be vulnerable to high levels of footfall, so floor tiles that are easy to maintain are a must. The hardness and durability of porcelain makes it the ideal choice – and picking a polished finish means the tiles will be easy to clean, too. Opting for porcelain opens up an array of choices regarding colours – so whether you’re seeking neutral hues or bold blue floor tiles, there will be a perfect porcelain tile for you.
