Victorian Tiles for the Modern Home

Victorian tiles evoke timeless luxury, and are seen to line large rooms intended for high-class social events and elegant tea parties. While those events might be somewhat outdated now, the tiles certainly aren’t – so that’s why, in today’s post, we’re exploring the many different ways you can incorporate these wonderfully historic tiles into your modern, 21st-century home.

From using Victorian hallway tiles to create a bold, high-impact hallway and landing area, to transforming your basic bedroom into a beautiful boudoir, Victorian tiles will become the ultimate flooring solution you never realised you needed to achieve a timeless and stylish look.

Be bold in the hallway

Wow both yourself and your guests each time anyone enters your home with Victorian style floor tiles that demand attention. Stick to a staple black and white monochrome tile look in your hallway or landing area, while keeping the remainder of your decor simple, to perfectly contrast the timeless flooring with the furnishings and appliances in your home.

Opt for larger patterns in smaller, more confined spaces to accentuate the space you’ve got. Contrastingly, for more grand and spacious hallways, consider incorporating intricately patterned Victorian entrance tiles that fill your home with detail, without cluttering it up with decorative ornaments that overcompensate for the additional space.

Blend indoor-outdoor boundaries

With summer in the air, never has there been a better time to blur the boundaries between your indoor and outdoor area than right now. Because of their earthy tones, Victorian tiles become the perfect method for integrating relaxing holiday memories into your contemporary and busy home.

Use Victorian border tiles in the room closest to your back garden – whether that room takes the form of a glass conservatory or bustling family kitchen – as earthy and distressed-looking tiles that border the room leading to your outdoor area will perfectly complement contemporary Scandi furniture and exotic indoor house plants. Alternatively, use Victorian path tiles in your front garden to pave the way to your home and give it the impression of alluring grandness.

Complement old with new

Often mistaken as an exclusive flooring solution, Victorian tiles make great artistic statements when featured as wall tiles. Choose to incorporate these historical-looking pieces on your wall against complementary, modern materials, such as shiny metallics and glistening silvers, to create the perfect balance between old and new.

Alternatively, decorate your family living room or cosy bedroom with similar statement Victorian style floor tiles to contrast modern appliances such as flat screen TVs and warm spotlights with the rustic tones and patterns of Victorian tiles.

With such a distinct look about them, Victorian tiles will become your modern home’s staple feature. Install them in various rooms throughout your house and contrast their historic nature with fresh and state-of-the-art appliances and colour schemes for the best effect.
