When choosing floor tiles for your home, the color scheme is important. Starting with the overall theme of the house or room, you can then decide on the right color tone for your tiles. Proper selection will help you create a flowing and attractive interior, whether working on a bathroom, your bedroom, a kitchen or another area of the home.
In general, light colored floor tiles can help to make a room feel bigger than it is, creating an airy atmosphere and not making you feel constricted. The trend at the moment reflects this, with a large number of light and natural hues being popular, such as grey, cream and off-white. However, it’s worth bearing in mind that the lighter the color, the more likely dirt, dust and stains are to show up.
Neutral colors are also a good option if you are unsure what colors other features of the room will be, such as kitchen surfaces, sofas or appliances. Colors such as beige, sand and grey are all colors that are harmonious with a range of different interiors.
Furthermore, dark colored tiles can create a dramatic, moody feel to a room, that can also be considered as soothing. The bathroom is a great place for dark tiles, to create a contemporary and luxurious look, especially when bathroom appliances such as the sink, toilet and bath are bright white.
Dark colors can also be used in living rooms and kitchens. Although some may consider it a brave choice, when paired with bright and bold furniture, walls and appliances it can create a striking look, emphasizing the other colors in the room.
Patterned tiles are a simple yet effective way of creating decorative flooring. With a range of designs to choose from and a number of colors used within the pattern, patterned tiles give you a way to bring beauty and style into a room without compromising on its function. From traditional Victorian designs to retro and bold geometric tiles, you’ll be able to find the perfect patterned tiles for your kitchen, hallway or bathroom.
If using tiles as a feature, make them stand out! Whether you’re creating a border around the bathroom, a mosaic in the hallway or a splashback in the kitchen, choose that pop, instead of blending into the background. Opt for a different color to that of the rest of the room to create a standout feature in your home.
In conclusion, there are various factors you need to consider when choosing the color of your floor tiles. First of all, consider the size of the room you’re considering tiles. Using warm and dark colored floor tiles works well in large and wide rooms, while light and cool colored floor tiles work better in smaller rooms.
