Vintage charm: Victorian style floor tiles

It’s the combination of charm and function which made ceramic encaustic tiles so appealing during the Victorian era, and with the long-lasting nature and artistic patterns still just as alluring in the modern day, more and more homeowners are incorporating this vintage style into their interior décor. While authentic Victorian hallway tiles might not be the go-to choice in 2017, embellishing your home with Victorian style floor tiles means you can enjoy the look of a time gone by in the 21st century.

Whether you’re embellishing the edges of your entrance hallway or covering the entirety of a room, encaustic effect tiles are guaranteed to add genuine character to your home – without blowing your budget.

Moorish vibes: Moroccan style tiles

Tiles are a staple for Moroccan themed interiors, so incorporate vibrant tones into the room with a functional floor or consider drawing attention to different aspects of the room by accenting doors and window frames with geometric patterned tiles. Paired with plush upholstered furniture, the bold contrast of colour that comes with Mediterranean style tiles will enhance the atmosphere of the room to create this lavish and rich Moorish-themed aesthetic. Adorn the space with traditional Moroccan textiles and authentic copper lanterns, and you’ll soon be reclining in your very own luxurious Moroccan paradise.

Cool and contemporary: patterned floor tiles

Encaustic style tiles are the latest interior design trend, and with the popularity of these tiles only set to grow, geometric patterned floor tiles are must-have for the coolest of contemporary homes. For a minimalist and monochrome home, consider creating an iconic feature floor which incorporates a number of different shades of pale blues and grey, to switch up the stark contrast that will come with your bold black and white décor.

Whether you’re looking to add some vintage character to your home or celebrate the diversity of Moorish culture, encaustic style tiles are guaranteed to give your home the aesthetic that you’ve been dreaming of. Opting for encaustic effect tiles will not only be cheaper than an authentic alternative, but they’re likely to have the long-lasting nature and gleaming finish that your home deserves too. So get inspired by browsing our range of high quality patterned floor tiles online, and see how you could get the look for less.
