Changing the direction of how you lay the tiles can alter the look you can achieve with the same base tiles.

Whether it’s a subtle hint of colour that is required or to help frame an area of interest in a room decorative factory pieces, be them motifs or borders, can help achieve the desired look.

Use modular tiles in two or more sizes to create multiple piece patterns. This method has been widely used on floors but now walls are also benefiting from this design concept.

A combination of matt and gloss or textured and smooth tiles texture can be used to create a stunning look.

Colour can change the mood of a room, highlight its good points and obscure its bad points. Counters and walls can use tiles that complement or contrast in colour to those used on the floor.
