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!
