Being both practical and stylish, tiles can give any room a fresh, contemporary look. From the subtle to the bold and colourful, there’s so much you can do with tiles! But with the tiling trends ever-changing, it can be hard to know what will work for your home and the space you have in mind, which is why we’ve put together our top five tiling ideas to make the decision that little bit easier for you. Whether you’re looking to spruce up your kitchen, bathroom or wet room, our Devon builders are sharing some inspiration with you to help you create your dream space. So, without further ado…
If your home allows for it, modern tiling designs can add a flair of personality to your kitchen or bathroom. As key rooms in your home, each will be frequented by both your family and guests, so there’s no better place to inject a bit of fun! Modern tiling ideas include contrast grouting and interesting tile patterns – retro style tiles can also be given a modern twist in these ways.
Lighting can also be a nice way to accentuate your tiling. Now, we’re not saying you have to have a neon pink bathroom (although you could if you wanted to), but this image highlights well a lovely use of modern lighting to show off these metro tiles with a contrasting grout. Speak to your kitchen or bathroom fitters in Exeter to see how lighting can be used effectively in your home.

Another way to add some personality is with some statement features. Tiles are a great way to make a statement – think bold, bright and daring. Something a little bit different. Unexpected use of patterns and colours can make a big impact. Whether it’s a statement wall, splashback, or even a shower tray. We’ve added some great examples of statement tile work below to get your creative juices flowing!

Complementing any home, subtle and sophisticated tiling work can add a sense of calm to your kitchen or bathroom space. After a busy day at work, sometimes all you want is a bit of rest and relaxation, and this can be guaranteed by your interior design choices. Soft hues and subtle patterns will ensure your kitchen or bathroom space is elevated to a state of interest without compromising the serenity of your home.

Take that soft, sophistication one step further by adding some texture. Maintaining a similar colour palette throughout the home is a popular choice for many people across the country, but this can become very same-y. Break it up with some interesting texture to add some more dimension to your decor. If you’re unsure how to make texture work in your tile work, speak with your bathroom fitters Exeter or kitchen fitters Exeter for their expert advice.

The combination of dark and light has been used for years in all elements of interior design, but there’s a reason for it: it looks great! You add contrast with your walls, floors or fixtures, so there’s something for everyone with this style. You don’t have to stick with a monochrome look either, you could add some colour here too.
