5 Ways to Make a Statement with Real Encaustic Tiles
The best way to transform a house into a home is by imprinting your identity into the interior design – and that often means making your mark on the place with a creative focal point within the room. Whether it’s an attention-commanding feature wall or a work of art that’s been set into the floor, the intricate detail that makes up each encaustic tile means this is the perfect material to help your home stand out.
Encaustic tiles have fast become a firm favourite for 2017’s interior design trends, and when you consider their combination of functionality with the stylish design, it’s not hard to see why. From grey geometric tiles to the swirling designs incorporating different pops of colour, there’s no shortage of ways to incorporate these versatile Victorian style floor tiles into your home. In today’s post, we’ll be bringing you all the inspiration you need with these 5 ways to make a statement with encaustic cement floor tiles.
-
Embrace different shades of grey
Available in various different shades, grey is no longer considered to be a dull or boring colour in interior design – and that means using a palette of vibrant colours is no longer the only way to make a big statement. Victorian encaustic tiles traditionally stand out because of their intricate patterns, meaning it couldn’t be easier to make a dramatic floor or feature wall with this type of tile. It’s down to personal preference whether you clad just a section of the room in these tiles or the entirety of the floor or wall, but by opting for variations of grey, the overall design will be eye-catching without being overpowering.
-
Command attention with Moroccan floor tiles
Whether you’re channelling a Moorish theme or are just fascinated with the colours of an authentic Mediterranean tile, the bold tones and elaborate design of Moroccan tiles make them a popular choice when it comes to picking patterned tiles. A pivotal part of Mediterranean décor, the vibrant hues of lavish Moroccan floor tiles can be used to make an artistic mosaic – as well as serving as a functional floor in the busiest areas of the home.
-
Add a new dimension by embellishing alcoves
From built in shelves to authentic alcoves, drawing attention to the quirkier aspects of the room couldn’t be easier with stunning patterned cement tiles. Not only will these versatile tiles be easy to clean, but they’ll facilitate drainage too – making them the perfect choice for pantries and around the shower area. For maximum impact, consider pairing natural stone tile with eye-catching patterned tiles – as this contrast will be noticeable yet still visually appealing.
-
Add a pop of colour
When it comes to choosing décor that will stand the test of time, going bold with colour can often be feared by interior designers. Colour psychology can dramatically change the atmosphere of a room, which is why adding a pop of bright blue or a rich red can look so effective. The elegant pattern featured on Victorian floor tiles means that you can add a touch of colour without changing the entire tone of the room – so you can make a statement that says exactly what you want it to.
-
Tie two tones together
Whether you’re making a vibrant colour statement or opting for a variation of paler tones within the room, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t use your statement wall or floor to make your colour scheme match – and the artistic detail of encaustic tiles mean that this section of the room will still stand out. Taking the time to ensure that the differing shades complement each other means you can minimise contrast within the room too, so it’ll be your patterned tiles that are doing the talking.
Whether it’s the elaborate pattern or the unique way that you’ve incorporated colour into the room, your feature wall or floor will be speaking for itself with Victorian tiles.
