Top 5 Tips for Selecting Great Tiles for Your Home

When building or renovating your home, choosing your tiles can be a daunting experience. After all, they are more often than not going to be a surface that you and your family will use the most every day.

 

At Aurees Tiles, we have a stunning range to ensure your home is functional and striking. Below, we have compiled a list of the top five tips to help you choose the best tiles for your new home or renovation.

 

Think About the Rooms

Whether it be your living area, laundry, bathroom, kitchen, or even your entire house, choose an option that complements the look you want to create for that space.

 

For example, larger tiles instantly add style and a sensation of space to your living areas. However, placing larger sizes in small rooms, such as your bathroom, can have the opposite effect.

 

Make Sure the Tile You Choose Comes in A Range of Sizes

More extensive options that start at 600mm in size and larger look fantastic in an open living space, such as a live room, while smaller sizes of around 300 mm create a beautiful look and help with water drainage in your home's wet areas.

 

Choosing the same style and colour in various sizes can help create a seamless transition throughout your home.

 

Choose your finish carefully.

You can create an earthy appeal using a matte or natural finish, while a gloss finish provides your home with a modern, silky look. However, it is essential to remember that dust is more likely to appear on floors with a glossy finish, but the luxurious shine throughout your home may be worth the effort.

 

Select your Feature

By choosing a feature tile for your home, you can create a stunning aesthetic and generate interest in your home. Feature designs can be included on floors and walls, but ensuring the surrounding colours blend well with your feature designs' patterns and colour choices is essential.

 

Enjoy A Timber Look Without The Hassle

Wood-look tiles are becoming increasingly popular and offer a fantastic alternative to timber floorboards. Wood-look styles are not only waterproof, but they are much easier to keep clean.

 

At Aurees Tiles, we have a tremendous range of wood-look designs ranging from lighter to deeper tones, making them perfect for any home design.

 

Why not visit the Aurees Tiles showroom and look at our fantastic tiling range for yourself? Our friendly staff can help you make an informed decision for your home and can help you with your tiling design. Give us a call today!

Black Tiles Adelaide Home: Bold Statement or Maintenance Nightmare?
Black tiles Adelaide homeowners choose can create a striking, sophisticated look, but they are not equally practical in every room. Their appearance and maintenance needs depend on the tile finish, the amount of natural light, the room's purpose and how much day-to-day cleaning you are prepared to do. In the right setting, black tiles can […]

Best Outdoor Tiles Adelaide: What Actually Survives the Heat
Choosing the best outdoor tiles Adelaide homeowners can rely on requires balancing style with extreme weather durability. Local summers place heavy demands on outdoor surfaces, requiring materials that withstand harsh UV rays, intense heatwaves, sudden weather shifts, and high foot traffic.

Timber-Look Tiles Adelaide: Warmth of Wood Without the Upkeep
Choosing timber-look tiles that Adelaide homeowners love provides the warmth of natural wood without the maintenance concerns of genuine timber. Specifically, wood-look tiles suit bathrooms, kitchens, living areas, and alfresco spaces where moisture, spills, or heavy foot traffic make real wood impractical.

Grey Tiles Adelaide Resale: Why They're the Safest Bet
When local homeowners select tile colours before selling, grey is still the top choice.

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 […]
