How to Tile a Living Room That Looks Stunning

Sometimes it is hard to know where to draw the line between design, aesthetics, and practicality (we’ll leave the question of budget for another day!) But you should tailor your interior design to your needs and your taste. 

The possibility of the tiling is often overlooked when decorating the living room. As a society, we are so used to hanging wallpaper and laying carpet that we simply don’t think about it. The fact remains that trend-setters are incorporating tiles into their living rooms and lounges. Wall ideas can be found online by typing, for example, decorative wall tiles UK.

Getting Inspired

In the beginning, mood boarding is a great way to find out what you like and don’t like together. Just seeing one tile isn’t enough; you need to be able to imagine how the whole room will look when everything comes together. A great resource for finding inspirational ideas is Pinterest;

What to Choose?

Having established that a tiled floor is what you need, what do you choose? Now is the time to compare the styles you like with the furniture you like. Whatever type of flooring you choose, it has to be the right tone and size to compliment the furniture you choose. If you start with the floor, you have more options to choose from than trying to find a particular type of flooring that won’t upset your orange couch!

Try to collect as many samples as you can and lay them out on the floor in the space you’re going to tile, and come in and out throughout the day to see how the light changes the appearance of the tile. If nothing else is in the room, the lighting will have a big impact, and don’t just think of natural light; experiment with other types of light fittings as well to get a sense of the nighttime in the room.
