Wall Tiles are a great looking, long lasting approach to furnishing your Walls. They are easy to clean, don’t peel and get dirty like Wallpaper, and don’t need touching up every couple of years like paint.
What’s more, as long as the surface underneath is strong enough to support the Wall Tiles of your choice, you can generally tile onto a much rougher surface than that that is needed for either paint or walls paper, and a range of other Wall coverings, and unless you’re fortunate enough to be decorating on to a freshly plastered surface, this in itself can make Tiling a very cost effective and straightforward solution.
There are a wide variety of neutral colours and styles of Wall Tiles to choose from, which can allow for a timeless classic finish. You can introduce splashes of interesting colour and design through the strategic placement of Border Tiles or Mosaics.
Effective as splash backs in kitchen areas, steam resistant surfaces in bathrooms, and perfect for showering or bathing areas, Wall Tiles are an excellent choice for your home.
There are several tiling suppliers in the UK who sell a variety of Wall tiles for all areas of your home. You’ll find Wall Tiles that are made from inexpensive materials such as ceramic, to more costly Tiles in natural materials such as natural marble tiles, natural limestone tiles, natural quarry tiles and natural sandstone tiles.
A nice idea is to create a seamless look to your living space by using the same tiles on the wall as you are using for the floor. This will, of course, only work if your tiles are suitable for both the wall and for the floor, but can create a really classic look, and because tiles are durable, it will last for years.
Most often the choice is for unpatterned tiles, but selecting a patterned tile can add additional interest to your space. Large sweeps of pattern employed in larger rooms can create a dramatic statement whilst pockets of pattern in smaller rooms can add style and interest to your wall tiled area.
There are also a number of tiles available that have a textured surface – from inexpensive bumpy white tiles to glass tiles with glitter, both inside and on the surface. Again these can add a further dimension to your room.
Of course Wall Tiles can be cleverly mixed with a painted or wallpapered finish. By papering or painting the upper part of the wall, and tiling the lower part you maximise the durability of your finish where the wall gets the most daily contact, whilst using a lighter finishing material for the upper part, which can also be more cheaply and quickly changed as fashion dictates.
