1. Create a garden indoors: Flowers are always in fashion. Whether they are used discretely or more prominently in design, flowers convey a sense of joy and can bring a gentle touch that complements the color scheme of a space. Tiles such as Next series from Ibero Ceramica contain floral designs modeled after poppies and create a garden indoors.
2. Make your own superhero village: A passion for comic book heroes can easily inspire design. Select collections of tile, such as Comic Decor tiles from the Range series from Aparici Ceramica, offer decorative pieces inspired by comic book characters and superheroes. Tiles form visually powerful vertical strips that are contrasted by blank walls to tell a creative story.
3. Recover classic style: Since the late nineteenth century, hydraulic tiles with simple geometric patterns and basic colors have made their way into the redecoration of existing homes. The wide range of styles and colors appear to multiply the space where they are used. Peronda Series FS by Peronda restores all the flavor of the past by paying great attention to detail.
4. Form your own Japanese sanctuary: After its mid-nineteenth century arrival in Paris, Japanese clothing has continuously influenced interior design. The Tokyo series from Tile of Spain manufacturer Grespania contrasts white ceramic coating with lacquered red, and combines with delicate floral patterns to create a subtle Japanese print that relaxes the room.
5. Use plants as a motif: Decorating with plant motifs never goes out of style. Lindau tiles in the Lovestone series from Vives Ceramica do this in a subtle way. The tiles are softened by the presence of raffia throughout the tile, and the flax-like shape inside the design.
6. Take advantage of geometric shapes: Geometric shapes on ceramic tiles can add simple, yet fun, accents to any room. With Adex Studio series tile, geometric shapes are added to a simple gray color scheme to add depth and personalization.
7. Build romantic spirit: The use of various floral, roses and small wild flowers in shades of gray, pearls, coral and pink in the Azteca Series Pulpis R90 create a feeling of romance and warmth with tile.
8. Showcase your photographs: Instead of using picture frames, get creative with your photographs. Quality ceramic digital printing from Tile of Spain companies can be used to customize any room of the house. The Unicer Boston series is a great example. It gives kitchens a Mediterranean touch through a filmstrip still life of olives and olive oil photographs.
9. Get creative with paisley: Fun, paisley patterns take over with the Paisley series from La Platera. Create an accent wall with this design that is filled with abstract shapes resembling organic beings or water droplets composed into paisley patterns to create an attractive visual effect.
10. Create your own palace: The elegant and schematic themes in the Greek-inspired Megalos series from Dune Ceramica create a feeling of both sophistication and simplicity. By using extra polished flooring materials in a neutral palette of cream and beige, with small details in gold, you can enhance the royal feeling of your home.
