Tiles of the Time: balancing style with functionality

For some, outfitting a new house or apartment is about gadgets and functionality, but for many of us, it comes down to décor and tile design.

From those seeking the minimalist modernity of Apollo and Loft, to the buyer looking to capture past antiquity with a roman-style mosaic, many of us fall somewhere along this spectrum.

But for those of us drawn towards the more striking and traditional tiles for our homes and hallways, forgoing modern technology and underfloor heating installations has often been the compromise we have been expected to make.

However, some companies recognise the importance of integrating different tile plans from one room of the house to the other, Tons of Tiles has also come to address this long-faced dilemma by ensuring that your underfloor heating and tiles of choice work together with ease.

As underfloor heating also provides the added benefit of forgoing the need for radiators in what can be already limited space, many buyers are now also taking advantage of this new vertical freedom to explore new design choices:

With the versatility of its ceramic material, this tile choice plays straight into this balance of traditionalism and modernity by combining the traditional brick look with an elegant glossy shine. In some rooms such as the bathroom and hallway, this striking presence can be achieved where the radiator once stood; applicable to new wall space that is now fully yours to design.

Floor Tiles

However, with this newfound freedom on the walls of our interiors, many buyers also look to either compliment or contrast this new wall design with a style of flooring that leaves the same impression. For some this is timber; for some this is highly polished porcelain.

All Whites

For those of us who would like to take this maximise this uniformity across our walls and floors, some of us seek to compliment the whiter choices of one surface or another with tiles not focused on colour- but instead on surface and shine. From metropolitan to zen white, the range of neutral-based styles is an especial favourite for buyers looking to maximise the perceived space of their bathroom interior:
