Sophistication With Ceramic Tiles

Designing décor that’s sophisticated and stylish is at the top of every homeowner’s list when renovating all or a portion of their home. One way to achieve this sophistication is by using ceramic tiles in one or more rooms. Kitchens, living rooms, bathrooms, and family rooms can all be transformed by adding ceramic tile to floors, walls, and countertops. Other rooms that benefit from the look of tile include entryways, hallways, and any outdoor spaces.

Classic Elegance

If you’re aiming for a look of classic elegance, use bigger sized tiles in large formats. You’ll get a feeling of continuity with those longer straight lines. Choose ceramic tiles in neutral colours, such as light and slate grey, when you want to define a space to look sleek and spacious. This décor tip is ideal for larger bathrooms with longer vanities. Use can also use tile on the floor, in the shower, and as a backsplash in smaller bathrooms.

You can easily take this sleek look into the kitchen. No matter what your budget, installing larger white ceramic tiles behind countertops can give a crisp accent to a contemporary kitchen that’s looking a little dull.

Patterned Ceramic Flooring

Patterns are back in vogue and tiles are no exception. Patterned ceramic flooring will quickly turn a room into a show stopper. You can achieve pattern in two ways: in the formation of the tiles or by choosing patterned tiles.

Instead of laying tile in a symmetrical fashion, use a diagonal or herringbone layout. Then choose grout in a contrasting colour to make a bold statement

Patterned tiles give you a unique look no matter how they’re laid. Choose tiles that are brightly coloured with an interesting pattern that matches the rest of the room décor. Or opt for two or three tile colours and install them in a unique layout that fits into the shape and size of the room. This is a good option for bathrooms, where you can be a little more daring when it comes to colour choices.

Black and White Textured Tiles

When you’re looking for a fun and exciting look, try the playful patterns of black and white textured ceramic tiles. Available in a variety of patterns and shapes, such as polka-dots and white and black penny round, you can turn any room into a modern and sophisticated space. Be even more bold and daring by mixing and matching these patterned and textured tiles for a completely unique décor in family rooms and your home office.

Sophisticated Outdoor Space

Don’t forget to spruce up your outdoor space with ceramic tiles. Good options are wood-look or concrete-look tiles that give you the cooling effect of ceramic combined with its durability and functionality. Use tiles on the patio, around the firepit or pool, and on outdoor kitchen countertops. For even more style, choose mosaic style ceramic tiles to give the outdoors a splash of the Mediterranean. Blending together colour options such as deep blues and vivid greens gives any outdoor area a feeling of calm and relaxation.
