Tile Inspiration

When it comes to tiling your space, should bathrooms be the only place to display our walls and floors with them?

With an ever increasing amount of designs, colours and textures that the tile can now offer, take a look at the pictures of inspiration below and decide for yourself on how diverse and fantastic tiles can look in and around other spaces.

Inside, Outside Interior Spaces

In recent years, there has been a great shift in the way interiors and houses have been built. Walls have been coming down to give us that flowing interior space, and now the outside walls are opening up to bring natures landscape to form part of our interior space within its natural flow from the inside to the outside.

I can only imagine that Architects absolutely love this found freedom to create a living space that is architecturally pleasing on the eye as well as bathing the interior space in light and space.

This also changes the perspective design on the interior space too. Take a look at the following inspiration.

Ceiling Show

When it comes to showing off our interiors, the ceiling is not always the place that we usually think of to make an impact. You might even be forgiven, if there isn’t that height there to do something with it.

So are we missing a trick, if we want to make that massive impact up above to steel the show….

As trends change and the contemporary minimal look is here to stay, I certainly think that the ceiling should be blessed with some kind of art show. I’ve certainly noticed that more and more designers are using this space to impress that almost gives an interior a gold medal or a standing-ovation.

Take a look at these lovely interiors that will inspire your imagination to explore for yourself like these designers have, and have proved that it really does work well.

Mix and Match the Retro Way

Mixing styles from different eras is definitely a real trend of today, especially when it comes to the retro style of the Fifties and Sixties.

We say that less is really more when you are designing your space. If the '50s is your era, don't get an old radio, a jukebox a Formica table and lots of other things. Instead, choose one or two of the absolutely best pieces that evoke the era without overwhelming your space.

Always choose outstanding pieces of Retro art or furniture that will lift the room and create energy and exchange from the contemporary to the past.

Here’s some show stoppers that we like.

Enjoy…..
