The world of ceramic tiles is a vast and myriad one. They are often touted as the most popular tiles, and are unanimously favoured by home-owners all over the globe. While using ceramic tiles in flooring has been common since time immemorial, ceramic wall tiles are climbing high up the popularity ratings due to the modern aesthetic flavour they add to a space.
Made out of sand, clay and other natural products, ceramic tiles are moulded into shape before being baked in a kiln for their final form. They can be either glazed or unglazed, depending upon what you choose. So, what makes these tiles ideal for homes? The best ceramic tiles in the industry, like those manufactured by Somany Ceramics, are stain and water resistant, withstand humidity to a great extent, are easy to maintain, and are extremely durable. Also, they come in a huge range of designs, types and colours.
Now, everyone utilizes ceramic tiles at their homes. But, to truly make your interior space stand out, you need to be creative and intelligent in your wall tiles and floor tiles design. Here are five amazing ideas on how to enhance the aesthetics of your home with ceramic tiles
- Tile it all over:
One way to highlight your ceramic tiles is to overdo them, quite literally. Why not have a room which is tiled in its entirety, from the floor to wall? This kind of tile arrangement not only offers a pleasing aesthetic and view, but also serves to increase the lighting of the space, since tiles, especially ones like Somany’sGlosstra glazed ceramic tiles, will reflect a large majority of internal light all over. Varying colours but keeping the same design for floors and walls can add amazing contrast as well.
- Define bathroom zones with different tiles:
While the ‘tile all over’ style is quite popular for bathrooms, you can break the monotony by using different ceramic tiles for different sections of the room for added effect and segregation. Using a contrast of black and white in different sections can create a relaxing mood in the bathroom. Also, for added protection, you can use specialized slip-free ceramic tiles in the shower floor area, like one from the Somany Slip Shield collection.
- Go digital:
Want to make your ceramic tiles livelier and artistic? Welcome to the world of digital tiles. These wall tiles are made with special print technology which adds a graphic design or and image on the surface of the tile. This allows you to incorporate aesthetic elements on your walls and add a bit of flair to your tiled spaces. You can choose from a great range of textures and prints, especially if you take your pick from the portfolios of renowned manufacturers like Somany Ceramics.
- Build a statement wall with ceramic wall cladding:
Of late, the trend of statement walls has really sky-rocketed. This usually involves adding wall claddings, usually ceramic ones, to one single wall in a room or an area. This serves to highlight that space, and you can thus direct your guest’s attention to the most important features of a particular room. The wonderful thing about wall claddings is that they come in a wide variety of textures and designs, right from stone to wood, thus giving you the aesthetic advantage of such materials with the durability of tiles.
- Add a listello to wall tiles:
For the uninitiated, a listello is a band on a wall that serves as a visual stop for onlookers. In case you are planning to extend your wall tiles to the ceiling, you can add a bold element with the help of an intricate tile band or a mosaic band that can serve as a great visual contrast. This way, you are adding more visual appeal to the entire wall tile layout without going over the top.
Other ways you can lay out ceramic tiles in an interesting manner is by using them as a wainscoting (a decorative wall cover that extends partway up the wall) in kitchens and bathrooms, or use the heavy-looking dark slate tiles on your wall to bring about an interesting unpredictability in the whole design aesthetic.
