Bigger Is Better

Large format tiles are a popular choice in today’s interiors and can add a real sense of opulence to any setting. They are perfect for creating the illusion of space in a room and they require less maintenance than smaller tiles, ideal for those busy areas in your home. But why are they so popular and how can you recreate the look in your home?

The key reason is that large format tiles offer a no-nonsense, sleek and unfussy aesthetic. This is largely due to the fact that using tiles of this size results in far fewer grout lines, allowing a clean and uninterrupted finish. It’s a myth that large format tiles shouldn’t or can’t be used in more compact rooms – in fact; these spaces were made for them. Using large format tiles in a small area tricks the eye into thinking that the room is larger than it actually is, so can help create a sense of scale where it doesn’t naturally exist. Not to mention the fact that fewer grout lines means easier cleaning!

Large format tiles are the perfect floor covering for these modern glossy kitchens and sleek entertaining spaces where a more modern design scheme is needed. Their size gives them a certain sophisticated touch and gravitas that smaller tiles just can’t compete with. Many large format tiles will have rectified edges – straight polished sides – so you can lay them closer together for a seamless finish.

Porcelain large format tiles are one of the most popular materials for these sizes. Considerably more affordable, these materials also benefit from advancements in technology, such as new printing techniques. This allows effects such as concrete, wood and stone to be applied to tiles for a realistic finish. Whilst genuine concrete looks great, it is susceptible to staining. In this instance, a large format concrete effect porcelain tile provides you with a great alternative.

Just make sure that you hire a professional to install them, as more cuts will probably be required. It’s also important to lay large format tiles onto a flat floor as their impressive scale makes them inflexible.
