Romantic
With you everything revolves around cosiness: candlelight, soft materials, warm colors. But those who want to live romantically do not have to start with floral wallpaper, ornate curls and tier lines. Romance also has a quirky side and tiles fit perfectly. A tile floor in the living room can radiate a lot of heat. For example, a vtwonen tile from the Woodstone series can not be distinguished from real wood. That means that you can combine the warmth of wood with the scratch and wear-resistant properties of ceramic tiles, is not it? With the mix of wood patterns in 5 shades, there is always a style that appeals and you can go for a lively effect on both the floor and the wall.
Vintage
You prefer to browse through flea markets, check out all the thrift stores and score the best items through second-hand websites. Yes, you are a true vintage enthusiast. Big chance that the 30s atmosphere appeals to you and you want to implement this in your new house. No problem, because even with new tiles you can give a house the atmosphere of yesteryear. The tiles from the Neo series, for example, available in large and small sizes (also fun to mix), but all with that typical vintage touch. A nice addition for the hall or kitchen.
Basic
Peace and tranquility, that's what an interior should radiate according to you. For this you start at the base. It consists mainly of colors such as natural, gray, black and white and materials such as wood, rattan, zinc and linen. The tiles in this style are also basic, smooth, preferably large and executed in a light gray color. The Mold series consists of a selection of concrete tiles with a distinctive appearance, very suitable for a quiet whole. Use them from plinth to ceiling in your own wellness bathroom or go for a concrete look floor in the living room in the soft color cement.
Best Tiles For Flooring
Ceramic tiles have a lot of benefits. They can be applied to both the floor and the wall. The perfect basis for your new house. But there are more pluses, we have put the 4 most important for you in a row.
Easy to maintain
A ceramic tile is a natural product and extremely strong and with a wear- and scratch-resistant character. With a professional tiling and good care, they guarantee a lifetime of living pleasure. Moreover, due to the compactness of the material, ceramic tiles are extremely hygienic and easy to maintain, a cloth over them and they are clean again. Daylight and most cleaning products often do nothing with this type of tiles, so they do not change color or turn white. Very nice.
A wide choice
Large, small, smooth or with structure: ceramic tiles come in many different shapes and types. They can therefore be used in every style of living. Do you like a raw edge? With the Scrape series from the vtwonen collection by Douglas & Jones you create the experienced and characteristic feeling of a stage floor, with scratch and wear-resistant characteristics like the other tiles in the range. Are you more of a tight and basic finish, then a plain tile is a good idea. If you opt for large tiles, there is less 'distraction' of joints and you can make a space appear larger.
Do you like color? White is no longer the standard. Nice to tile a single wall and a real match for everyone with a romantic style of living. Lovers of a classic or Scandinavian interior can indulge in the Marble White series . A small rectangular and matte tile with marble effect. Each tile has a unique vein which creates a playful effect.
Durable
Perhaps you do not immediately think of the most comfortable form of carpeting in tiles. Nevertheless, with underfloor heating you can let a tile floor feel just as warm as soft carpet or a wooden floor. Because everything is still open at a new house and every wish can be made, it is wise to think about underfloor heating in combination with a ceramic tile. You quickly save 10 to 20% on your energy costs, because the required temperature for heating is lower and tiles heat perfectly and distribute evenly throughout the room. Another additional advantage is that the air humidity is better regulated and there is less dust circulation. Moreover, a tile floor in the summer is very pleasant.
