“A feature wall is a decorated section of a wall that grabs the attention and pulls the eye towards it,” says Kate van Niekerk, TILE AFRICA marketing manager. This effect can be achieved through patterns, bold colours, texture and interesting borders.
Mosaics have always been a favourite decor trend and with so many design options, you can be as creative as you like. Create wide or narrow, horizontal or vertical borders with colourful mosaics, and beautiful listelli. “Borders allow you to add texture to your walls and the creative possibilities are endless,” she says.
Use bright-coloured glass mosaics as decorative splashbacks in your kitchen or bathroom. They are practical, have a non-porous surface and will last long with the correct maintenance. Other materials can include natural stone and metal.
To create that wow factor, another option would be an accent wall. This refers to one wall within a single room that stands out as it is different and interesting, be it due to colour or other decorative aspects. Glass, mirror and stainless steel mosaic tiles that shimmer and shine are always great options for an accent wall.
Patterned tiles are also ideal to create focus areas and accents, especially behind the vanity, bath or in the shower. When used as a backdrop, unique tile layouts pull the eye towards a design feature such as a floating vanity or free-standing bath.
For outdoor areas, slate and sandstone cladding may be the best options to create your feature wall as they’re made from natural stone, are highly durable and can withstand harsh weather conditions.
With an extensive selection of trendy and durable tiles, bathroom accessories and fittings you can be sure to find the right products for your home when you visit any one of the 37 TILE AFRICA retail outlets nationwide.
