For several years now, one thing has been at the forefront of interior design: contrast is key.
If you want to manage bright and vibrant colours then it helps to play them off against dark ones, with stark lines defining the shape language of a room. Or, to put it simply, if you want white marble tiles, then you’ll probably end up with black cupboards.
That said, recently a new colour palette has been taking the world of interior design by storm. Instead of strong contrasts, many are now opting for muted, complimentary colours, pairing beige limestone tiles with shades of faun and taupe.
Here at Authentic Stone, we’re always excited to see new styles emerging and that’s why we’ve put together this quick guide to choosing cosy, homely tiles.
You Can’t Go Wrong With Limestone Tiles
If you’re going for a muted colour palette, then limestone is always a good choice. With so many beautiful shades to choose from, you’ll be able to make just about anything work, but the real beauty comes from limestone’s unique texture.
When working in calmer colours it’s important to still find ways of working visual interest into your room. Limestone has many unique and interesting patterns which are particularly visible in cream limestone tiles. If you’re looking for an easy choice, then limestone tiles are for you.
Take Care With Marble
On the other hand, if you’re looking for something that can really bring a sense of character to a room, then you’ll want to examine our selection of white marble tiles.
While marble can be trickier to match with muted rooms, that’s only because it comes in such broad and interesting colour variations.
For those willing to examine all their options and really take the time to find something unique, marble tiles offer a lot to choose from. Finding a marble tile you really love could help you design a bathroom that completely speaks to you and your tastes.
Don’t Be Afraid to Break The Mold
Whether you’re going for high contrast or muted comfort, always be sure to remember that taste is subjective and trends don’t last forever. What you like and what you want from a bathroom are all up to you. No expert out there can tell you what you think looks nice.
So when you’re choosing your tiles, be sure to take all of this with a grain of salt and, when in doubt, follow your heart.
