Just like everything in life, colours evolve with time and choosing the right colour tiles for your renovation or new build is important.  Selecting the colours of your tiles should be a well thought out process to ensure they create a space that you are going to love for years to come! Some of the initial factors you will need to think about when it comes to making the right decision on colours include the size of the room, your homes architectural style or theme, in addition to what other colours are going to be used in the space – complimentary or contrasting? The following is our guide on how to make the right tile colour choice for your home.

Room size and purpose

Darker coloured tiles will tend to make a space feel smaller while lighter coloured tiles open up spaces and make them feel bigger and more spacious.  When used on walls, darker coloured tiles can add depth as well as highlight focal points within a space. Light natural hues act beautifully as a blank canvas or backdrop for furniture and décor, and appeal to a larger audient.  From the bathroom sanctuary to the bustling kitchen, every room is unique and has a different purpose so it’s important to consider what colour tiles are best suited to that space.

Home Style and Theme

When considering tile colour, it is important to have a style and theme in mind. For example, you are after a contempory look darker shades, greys, whites and neutral tones are popular.  Alternatively, if your style is Hamptons, your go to colours are blues, greens, whites and naturals. If you are using a combination of colours and shades, is also important to consider how they will work together, for example a dark shade of green will look great with a lighter shade of green, equally a bright bold blue will be beautifully grounded by white. Choosing complimentary colours is essential in how your home will look and feel.
