Tiles are a popular option for our beautiful homes because of their longevity and ease of maintenance. They're also excellent for incorporating texture, color, and pattern, which has been increasingly popular in recent years. However, deciding how to use them can be a minefield, particularly given the variety of options available. So, today, I figured I'd have some tile ideas as well as some helpful hints for decorative tiles Australia.
Tiles for kitchen
It's no surprise that tiles from tile shop Leichhardt are one of the most common kitchen flooring options, particularly because of their durability and ease of maintenance. When it comes to tiling what is basically the heart of our houses, there are an endless range of choices. But, let's be honest, you're not going to scroll through all of them. With that in mind, I've added a few suggestions and advice that you may not have noticed.
Create a rug effect
Instead of a rug, consider a more long-lasting flooring focal point for your kitchen dining table, particularly if you have messy children or adults, as I do. Choose a patterned tile with a matching border and you'll be set for years, and it'll be easier to clean and maintain.
Keep the colors neutral
The chevron tile is a nice choice if you want to add a pattern to your home without using paint. With its elaborate design that adds detail to a neutral color scheme, this classic form is perfect for generating interest. Using a soft grout to keep the look tidy, or opt with contrasting black for a more dramatic look.
Create a perfect blend
So, if you want your kitchen to look super chic and tidy, you do not want to tile your floors or splashbacks. Tiles, on the other hand, could be used to bring appeal to your islands by using a pattern, color, or both. It's also a less expensive choice if your kitchen is big! It would also help to strengthen this focal point in your kitchen, which is particularly necessary with so many surface areas, cupboards, and other storage options. These scalloped tiles may not be your style, but they do attract attention to the kitchen island, don't they? Consider using complementary colors in your kitchens, or go with it and add spontaneous bursts of color to a monochrome kitchen.
All grout
Grout, particularly if you've decided to tile your floors and walls with tiles, may make or break the overall look of a room. The kitchen seen above is an excellent example of how to get things right while experimenting with various tile styles. The subway tiles have a deeper black grout that goes along with the patterned floor tiles and dark grey units. Creating a unified look and tying it together. The use of white grout lines helps the patterned tiles to stand out and speak for themselves.
