Tiles can transform various spaces in your home by using them in a variety of application forms and shapes. Tiles can create either a contemporary or traditional feel.

Small Changes, Big Impact

A row of mosaic tiles can be used above an existing tile. For example – in a kitchen, bathroom or guest toilet – tiles can be used as an edging above the current tiles in a row of one or two to uplift and modernise the space. This is extremely cost effective as one block of tiles can create meters of edging. It also adds to the appeal.

In a shower, if you are doing a basic renovation, you can remove a strip of tiles and replace them with an attractive mosaic tile, of your choice and colour, and this vertical line will immediately create visual interest to a boring and uninspiring bathroom

In a kitchen, as a kitchen splash back or the surrounding wall around the countertop, tiles can be placed in a variety of ways – horizontally, vertically, point to point or hexagonally.

Adding Character in Living Areas

Tiles can bring a new energy and, used imaginatively, it is a very easy way to make a room memorable:

• Above a fireplace, tiles can be placed on either side of the fireplace and even extended up the chimney section to create a ‘wow’ factor and create wonderful visual impact.
• If you have a very boring and unimaginative entrance hall, think about adding an interesting layout of floor tiles, in a pattern, or tiling one wall as you enter – first impressions create a welcoming feeling, and create important aesthetic appeal.
• A feature wall in a bedroom can also be tiled, using tiles either vertically or horizontally, to produce the illusion of a large headboard.

Tiles are timeless, appealing and have both functional and aesthetic uses. They are not difficult to apply, and by choice can be inexpensive. Lastly, they are a very quick way of changing the visual appeal or impression of a room or space. Tiles used imaginatively will make the property memorable in a buyer’s/renter’s mind and will add to it’s uniqueness.
