Ceramic tile with an ornament in interior design

When planning the interior, the owner is primarily determined with the lighting, the style of the furniture and only the last thing to think about the flooring and design of the walls. To decorate these surfaces, modern designers are increasingly using ceramic tiles with ornaments.

Before choosing a suitable material for the floor and walls, you need to take into account a number of nuances that significantly affect the interior of the room in general:

1. The light shade of the floor and walls gives a feeling of lightness and ease of space.
2. The dark shade saturates the atmosphere with elegance and comfort.
3. The glossy surface of ceramic tiles creates an effect of spaciousness, reflecting the light and making the space of the room more voluminous.
4. The matte surface, on the contrary, makes the room more restrained, evenly dispersing the lighting.
5. Complement the interior of a small room with a huge ceramic tile will have to be done very carefully, making the grouting as inconspicuous as possible.

A significant part of people when choosing floor and wall covering are guided, basically, only by two rules. First, they should be as practical as possible. Secondly, they must be harmoniously combined with the surrounding design.

This approach may seem too limited. After all, a well-chosen floor and wall decoration can play an important role in the design of a room. Therefore, it makes sense to sort out this issue in detail and create a suitable decor for a kitchen or bedroom using patterns and other ornaments.

Regularly the apartment owners refuse to pattern. This is due to the fear of creating a catchy bad taste, different from the general style. Also, this option can quickly get bored and no longer please the eye. On the other hand, everyone wants to add a bit of originality to the interior, to create the very “zest” that guests will appreciate. In such situations, it is required to make an optimal decision that satisfies all design requirements.

Ornamental tiles often satisfy even the most demanding owners because of their peculiarity, combined with restraint.

"Chess" coating of black and white tiles - the most common option, corresponding to many design styles. It is often found in the classic design and never outdated. Such a floor and walls can be seen in the old Gothic rooms, as well as in the Baroque. Renaissance also did not bypass this choice, and even Art Deco popularizes this design in the design of bathrooms.

Today, chess tiles are again in trend and are often found in many apartments, saturating them with a peculiar atmosphere. Characteristic for fine art and glamor, the style becomes classic, showing an unexpected effect.

Pick furniture design and other decor for such a floor is very simple. It will be appropriate as a wooden wardrobe, and furniture made of metal and plastic in black and white shades. You can even lay a comfortable carpet on top or use instead of black and white tiles of other colors, for example, yellow and red or other bright colors.

Black and white and colorful tiles - this is the most common variant of checkered tiles. This picture is appropriate for any design. But for this you need to correctly choose its color scheme. This style is well suited for Scandinavian and glamorous decor. A variety of colors and sizes of quadrangles can successfully complement the wooden floor.

Octagonal tiles are a good choice for lovers of classic and retro design. The small size of the segments is optimal for small kitchens and bathrooms. The dense network of dark seams successfully harmonizes with baseboards and highlights the attractive floor pattern.

Such a pattern is in demand over the years. Matte tiles evenly diffuse light, giving the floor a subtle tone.

Representing the design of floor and wall covering on tile alone is impractical. For a clearer picture, it is advisable to familiarize yourself with the catalogs, where the floors and walls that are decorated with this type of decoration are clearly shown. A large drawing in a small room looks very catchy and tasteless.

It is undesirable to choose a completely black or completely white floor and walls. They will have to wash for a long time to preserve the original appearance. Randomly fallen crumbs or dust will be visible on the black floor, and seams darkened with time will clearly stand out on the white wall.

The pattern of the pattern on the wall tile must emphasize the furniture design, and not distract all attention to itself. Geometric pattern can emphasize the beauty of almost any style of interior.
