Remember, first impressions are lasting!
From silver metallic mosaic tiles on a feature wall to larger format porcelain tiles on the floor, the options and combinations are endless. "We are no longer restricted to just plain tiles for floors and walls," says Kate van Niekerk, marketing manager at Tile Africa.
Decorative mosaic tiles allow you to play around with different colours, textures and patterns to create a unique floor or wall area. Experiment with floral or geometrical designs or be inspired by colourful patterns from Morocco, white and blue designs reminiscent of the Mediterranean or black and white checkerboard designs.
Mix glass tiles with metallic and natural stone mosaics to create interesting designs with your own personal style – the only limit is your imagination.
Natural materials, such as sandstone, travertine and riven cladding make for a dramatic entrance area. The texture of the natural stone grabs the attention and creates a striking wall finish. Compliment the roughness of the stone with over-sized pots and candelabras.
Tiles are suitable for any area, especially entrance halls, which are high traffic areas. "Choose a floor tile with a higher resistance to abrasion," says Kate.
