They have long been established in the bathroom, but tiles are now taking over other rooms, too. How modern wall coverings made of innovative materials are redefining the home.
In recent years, a notable trend has emerged in interior design: the use of tiles, porcelain stoneware and ceramics as wall coverings. This trend is not only evident in kitchens and bathrooms, but is increasingly spreading to other areas such as living rooms, hallways and even bedrooms.
Creative and functional
Wall coverings offer an almost endless variety of designs, colours and textures. From natural stone looks and minimalist white to eye-catching, colourful patterns, there is a design to suit every interior design style. Whether it’s large-format tiles or creative mosaics, these materials can be used to transform walls into real showstoppers. In addition to their attractive appearance, tiles and ceramics also impress with their functional properties – they are extremely durable, resistant to moisture and easy to clean. Thanks to modern manufacturing techniques, it is now possible to produce tiles with wood or metal finishes that look deceptively real, yet offer the practical advantages of ceramics.
