Whether they are ceramic, porcelain or recycled, tiles remain one of the safest choices for furnishing a home. It's not easy to choose the right tiles but play it safe starting from two questions '' what effect do you want to give to the room? '' and '' what effect do you want the room to have?''. Once the questions have been answered with this element, you can play with many shapes, colours, decorations, shades, all according to your tastes. Above all, it is important to take into account the quality factor, as well as being beautiful, the tiles must be resistant to shocks and scratches in order to last over time. It is better to make a larger initial investment and then avoid carrying out very expensive maintenance soon after. Think that if whitewashing a part is simple and cheap, replacing a floor with tiles is, on the other hand, an expensive, long and invasive job.

Tiles: the right idea for the right home

What materials to use for your floor tiles? If you choose to use tiles for your floor, you can choose between different materials. The most beautiful and suitable for all styles are certainly: terracotta, ceramics and stone. Starting from cooked it is a red colored material, its surface is rough in order to give a rustic, country style to the environment and it is the perfect combo with this floor and wooden furniture. As for the tiles in double-fired ceramic they are preferred by homeowners for their countless colors and decorations. There are various varieties of ceramics, single-fired, glazed and fired once. Choices are also those of Stone very beautiful, resistant and long-lasting but they are also very expensive. After choosing the material, you will need to choose the format suitable for your room. Usually, if we talk about tiled floors, large dimensions are preferred, they have very long laying times and above all they are easy to clean. For bathroom floors, on the other hand, I recommend small-sized tiles and maybe with some decoration on some of them. Also in this it is smart to choose the so-called mosaic tiles usually chosen for aesthetic reasons and give an elegant look to the room.

Where and how to use tiles

Thanks to their size, patterns and decorations, the tiles can decorate any part of the house and enliven the environment.

They can be used in many different and original ways. Such as, for example, dividing rooms by covering an area such as the contour of the sink or creating a contour to the bathtub. They can be used as a sort of painting behind the kitchen stove (also saving from ugly stains). Among all the idea that I like the most is to decorate the stairs of the house with colored tiles, perhaps one different from the other, tiles for each step. By now we have understood that tiles are not just a practical covering and if you have fallen in love with a particular tile, with a certain imagination, nothing prevents you from using it as a pure ornament, why not even as a trivet. Of all the solutions, however, mosaic tiles are becoming homeowners' favorites, partly for an aesthetic issue and partly because it is a suitable decoration for all environments. But what are the characteristics and where are mosaic tiles used? A look at prices and materials and another at laying techniques. The mosaic tiles have also involved the prestigious materials such as marble and stone, giving life to endless combinations and decorations, increasingly occupying an important role in homes. The mosaic is a versatile and original solution that allows you to characterize the bathroom but also other environments, each color of the mosaic reflects the chosen style and personality, creating the right atmosphere for your needs You can use it on an entire wall to create depth, or mix it with other wall tiles using it as a decorative insert. The mosaic is also easy to cut and work with, which is why it adapts to any type of surface whether curved, straight or inclined. The mosaic tiles are particularly versatile since they manage to put together aesthetic needs with functional ones, giving the rooms the right depth and sensation of spaciousness.

Once upon a time, mosaic tiles were used to decorate some parts of environments subject to the action of water and humidity, such as bathrooms and kitchens; nowadays, however, mosaic tiles are used for the construction of customized decorations and coverings, within any type of environment.
