ORNATE SIMPLICITY
Filigree patterns take on a modern look in striking black and white, bringing a beautiful dimension of pattern and personality to a calming, neutral scheme. Inspired by classic encaustic tiles, this intricate design celebrates traditional tile patterns and craftsmanship techniques of the past.
1 MAKE A STATEMENT WITH STRIPES There are two ways to create a striped design – either by choosing a striped tile, or by laying plain tiles in contrasting colours in horizontal or vertical bands. Striped tiles can also create an optical effect, so whether you choose a narrow stripe or a wider stripe, they give the illusion of a much larger space, tricking the eye to add length or width depending upon how they are laid within a room.
2 TERRAZZO TREND A great alternative to marble or granite, the flecked nature of a terrazzo tile can create a textured, geometric statement in your home. Terrazzo is a composite stone made of chips of marble, glass or granite mixed with a binder. With designs from small speckles to supersized fragments, terrazzo allows you to combine multiple colours and shapes to achieve a unique and artistic floor.
