Are Floor Tiles Just for Kitchens and Bathrooms?
Durable and easy to clean, it’s no surprise that so many of us opt for floor tiles in busier sections of the home – such as in the kitchen and the bathroom. And with an extensive range of styles, shapes and finishes available, there’s no need to compromise on the overall aesthetic when it comes to taking advantage of this functional flooring solution.
The practical needs of a bathroom and kitchen may mean that floor tiles are most commonly used in these spaces, but that’s not to say they should be restricted to these sections of the house. With countless benefits and an array of stunning designs, long-lasting floor tiles can be used throughout the home to create truly impressive interiors. That’s why, today, we’re exploring how versatile bathroom and kitchen floor tiles can be used in different rooms to create a unique home design that’s both fashionable and functional.
Focusing on function in your utility room
The purpose of a room should always determine the type of flooring that’s used and, with this section of the home being prone to moisture, waterproof floor tiles are a must-have. With similar conditions to the bathroom, opting for moisture-resistant tiles in this room means you can reduce the likelihood of this space beginning to harbour mould. Better yet, the easy-to-clean nature of bathroom floor tiles means your utility room can double as a low maintenance mudroom, too.
Daring to be different in the living room
Whether you’re looking to add something unique to your living space or searching for a suitable flooring option for an underfloor heating system, floor tiles will always be a stylish and practical choice in this space. While living room floors may traditionally be clad with carpet or wooden flooring, tiles offer a hardwearing and easy-to-clean alternative – and the array of choice when it comes to colour, size and shape means there’s guaranteed to be a tile that suits the style of your lounge. For a bold living room that makes a statement about your creativity, the intricate design of patterned floor tiles means that you can transform your living room floor into an eye-catching feature in its own right – or for a quirky, cutting-edge lounge, why not incorporate geometrics with a floor made up of hexagonal tiles?
Adding to the aesthetic in your bedroom
The secret to a good night’s sleep is to remove busy patterns and loud shades from the bedroom – but that’s not to say you can’t make an impact with your floor tiles. By creating a focal point on the ground with easy-to-install floor tiles, you can reflect your own artistic flair without creating a distraction when it comes getting some rest – so there’s no need to compromise on style or sleep. Whether you embellish your bedroom with a bright mosaic made up of patterned tiles or accentuate the space with glossy quartz floor tiles, rest assured you can easily get the look that you’ve been dreaming of without waving goodbye to the sleep that you need.
The functionality of tiles may mean that this flooring option is used most often in bathrooms and kitchens but, with a seemingly endless range of designs, there’s no reason floor tiles shouldn’t be used in every section of the home.
