5 Ways To Get The “WOW” Factor

From a stylish kitchen splashback to a statement feature wall, discover 5 ways to make an impact with tiles in your home.

1. Wood on the walls

As confidence grows in regards to interior design, we are seeing more and more people using wood effect tiles on walls as well as floors. The popularity of wood accent walls is exploding, and tiles are a great way to pull off the appearance of it. Wood-effect tiles won’t snag your linens and upholstery the way real wood can, and there’s always the bonus of durability and ease of maintenance.

2. The splashback

As kitchens are becoming braver in both the colour and design stakes, we’ve been noticing a rise in the use of mosaic tiles to create eye-catching features on splashbacks and surrounding areas. With the shaker style kitchen all the rage, more homeowners are opting for neutral coloured cabinets making the wall a blank canvas for experimentation.

3. Bespoke design

Create a feature wall that’s completely bespoke with a range of tiles that you can mix and match, such as New Biselado or Antique. Choose various different colours, styles and even sizes, then build and arrange them to create your ideal design. There are no limits, consider mixing metallic with natural stone, or mosaics with wood effect.

4. Pretty pattern

Patterned tiles have made a delightful comeback. Beautiful and exotic patterns evoke the senses to allow colour and geometric fun to make a statement in the room. The designs add depth to the room scheme and a focal point, whether on the wall or the floor. If you are looking for a unique, traditional and vintage look, our range of patterned tiles will be sure to inspire you.

5. The beauty of porcelain

Porcelain tiles are composed of a ceramic material that has undergone a unique process of manufacture. Porcelain tiles are heated to high temperatures during manufacture to give them a unique set of properties that include translucency, strength, low permeability, and high resistance to electricity, chemicals and extremes of temperature. All these properties help to make porcelain tiles not only an attractive option, but also ideally suited for tiling walls and floors. The real beauty of porcelain is the cost, and this is down its popularity and the amount that is being produced by factories.
