The world of tiles may appear complex and expensive, yet it becomes both exciting and satisfying when designing spaces. Have you ever explored the Earp Brothers showroom? We would suggest popping into the showroom to inspire your next renovation or project, supporting local businesses is a well-known tendency throughout the Novocastrian community.
We are absolutely obsessed with three styles of tiles, and we wanted to provide some details on why they should be considered to bring texture, character and depth to any space. Hopefully, this will inspire you for any upcoming project.
The Terrazzo Trend
Terrazzo, a popular flooring choice for centuries, is made from a mixture of marble, granite, and other aggregates, offering timeless beauty and durability. It has become increasingly popular recently due to its versatility and being eco-friendly.
Terrazzo can be customized to suit various design styles and is suitable for both residential and commercial spaces. In addition to traditional terrazzo flooring, terrazzo tiles are also very popular, providing the same beauty and durability but with the added benefit of easy installation and maintenance, adding a wow factor to any space.
Handmade Tiles
Recent tile trends have showcased various collections of handmade tiles, bringing these exciting ranges back into the spotlight. The beauty of handmade tiles lies in their timeless appeal; their elegance and charming characteristics create a warmth and atmosphere that only a handcrafted product can achieve. As unique tile collections, they feature variations in colour, shape, and texture, adding an organic element to any design project.
Several factors should be considered when selecting new handmade tiles, including the different types available, their recommended care, and price points.
Natural Stone
Natural stone tiles are exactly as the name suggests—a non-man-made, all-natural material straight from the Earth. Various natural stones, such as slate, granite, marble, limestone, travertine, and sandstone, provide texture, depth, and contrast. Natural stone tiles effortlessly complement surrounding elements with sophistication.
Commonly used in kitchens, bathrooms, hallways, conservatories, living areas, and exterior paved areas on both walls and floors, natural stone floor tiles are popular for their robustness, practicality, durability, and hygienic properties, fitting seamlessly into any modern lifestyle.
