5 Tips for Selecting Your Ideal Tile!

Choosing the suitable tiles for your Adelaide home can be overwhelming, especially with the full range of options available today. You do not know where to start.

 

At Aurees Tiles, we pride ourselves on offering our clients in Adelaide an extensive range of tiles that would complement any room. Our experienced staff will always assist you through the selection process.

 

Meanwhile, these five tips will put you on the right path to finding the ideal tiles for your Adelaide home.

 

  • Work with the Room Decor

Every room of the house is unique and serves a different purpose. Therefore, the perfect tiles for one room might not be suitable for another. Be careful not to get caught up in the details and lose the bigger picture. The design of each room must flow in harmony with the style of the rest of your home.

 

If a sophisticated and rustic look is what you are looking for. Then wood-look tiles would be the idyllic design for you. Colourful tiles in splashbacks, accent walls or borders will make a simple statement and add character to your Adelaide home.

 

  • Choose the Right Size

Using large tiles adds a more significant and airier feel to your small rooms. With fewer grout lines, they look like one sizeable, unseparated surface, creating the illusion of a bigger space.

 

More spacious rooms give you more tiling options. You can use small-sized or mosaic tiles and get more colours and patterns.

 

  • Patterned or Plain Tiles

Patterned tiles add depth to the room and create a focal point. They are perfect for statement walls and floors. You can use the same patterned floor tiles on the walls to add cohesiveness. It will not work the other way around, though, as floor tiles are made of more robust materials and have a more complex glaze to withstand traffic.

 

Plain tiles are more suitable for small areas, as complicated patterns could crowd the room.

 

  • Tiles Colour Palette

With the unlimited options of tile colours in the market today, choosing a suitable colour palette could be confusing. To narrow your choices, take the general atmosphere you want to achieve in the room as your guide.

 

Some colours, like cream, beige, and brown, create an impression of warmth, while blue and green make the room feel cool. Light-coloured tiles will make the room feel bigger while using the same coloured wall tiles on the floor can create a perception of more space.

 

  • Grout Colour

To make the grout lines stand out and emphasise the design and shape of the tiles, choose a contrasting grout colour. On the other hand, complementary grout colours will blend with the tiles, giving the room a subtle effect.

 

To select from more than 500 varieties of tiles and have a team of experts help you choose the option that best suits your home and needs, visit the Aurees Tiles showroom in Adelaide today!

Grout and Tile Maintenance: How to Keep Tiles Adelaide Looking New
Go into any Adelaide home five or 10 years after the tiles were laid, and you will usually hear one of two stories. In the first, the floor and walls still look as new as the day they were put down. The second is that the tiles themselves are fine, but the grout tells another […]

Kitchen Tiles Adelaide: Splashback and Floor Combinations That Work Together
Splashback and floor tiles are usually chosen weeks apart, sometimes by different people, and often at entirely different stages of a kitchen renovation. The floor gets locked in early, before the layout is even finalised, while the splashback is picked much later, once the benchtop and cabinetry are already installed. The result, more often than […]

Porcelain Benchtops and Splashback Tiles: The Adelaide Kitchen Trend Gaining Ground
There’s a clear shift in what people choose for their kitchens these days. It's no longer just splashback tiles behind the stove; now, large porcelain slabs do double duty as both a benchtop and a splashback, wrapping around the kitchen as one continuous surface. It’s not really a passing trend borrowed from a renovation show. […]

Entry and Living Room Tiles Adelaide: Making the First Impression Last
Look for furniture that can withstand the coastal elements. Untreated steel and lower-grade stainless steel are more prone to corrosion, whereas teak, powder-coated aluminium and 316 stainless steel are all excellent. Consider how exposed your outdoor area is to the wind. Heavier or lower-profile furniture is usually a better choice for open locations, while lighter […]

Why Modern Bathrooms Start With the Right Tile Choice (Not Fixtures)
Ask most people where they start when renovating a bathroom, and the answer is usually the same. They talk about tapware. They obsess over the vanity, too. They spend hours comparing matte-black fittings to brushed-nickel fittings. It's understandable — fixtures are visible, tactile, and easy to shop for. But it's the wrong starting point. When […]

How to Design a Bathroom That Still Looks Good in 10 Years
There’s a particular kind of regret that shows up in bathrooms. It’s usually not about craftsmanship. It’s the colour. The pattern. The fixture that felt exciting the day it was installed, but within a few short years, felt strangely dated. Bathrooms are expensive to renovate and disruptive to redo. So, the real question isn’t “what’s […]

Matte vs Gloss Bathroom Tiles: What Actually Works in Real Homes
Walking into a tile showroom and choosing between matte and gloss is a simple style choice. One seems soft and modern. The other is fine and polished. Either way, you’ll be pleased with your choice. And then the tiles go into a real bathroom, and that's when it gets real. Most mornings, the floor is […]

Large Format Bathroom Tiles: The Secret to Luxury Hotel-Look Spaces
Walk into almost any luxury hotel bathroom, and there’s a feeling that hits before anything else does. The room feels calm. Open. Almost weightless. There is no tiny mosaic grid demanding your attention, and if you can see the grout lines at all, they sit quietly in the background rather than separating the space into […]
