FAQ #1
Which Tile Style Is Best for Modern Interiors?
Large-format, polished porcelain, industrial concrete, and refined stone tiles are ideal for modern interiors. They create a clean, streamlined, and high-end aesthetic. Neutral white, grey, and black tones enhance the contemporary look.
FAQ #2
How Do I Choose a Tile Style for My Home?
Consider the look you want to achieve, your home's overall design style, and the function of the space, factoring in durability, maintenance, and slip resistance.
For a modern style, opt for large-format, polished, or concrete tiles. Natural stone, subway, or mosaic tiles work well in classic spaces. Rustic designs benefit from timber-look, slate, or terracotta tiles.
FAQ #3
What Are the Latest Trends in Tile Design?
In 2025, tile design trends will emphasise individuality and rich textures.
Warm earth tones are replacing cooler shades, creating inviting atmospheres. High gloss and metallic finishes add a chic touch, while textured tiles provide depth and interest. Retro-inspired patterns, including checkerboard designs, are making a comeback, combining nostalgic looks with contemporary appeal.
FAQ #4
Which Tile Styles Work Best for Outdoor Areas?
Porcelain tiles are durable and weather-resistant for outdoor areas. Matt and textured tile finishes provide grip, making them slip-resistant for patios, pool surrounds, and alfresco areas.
