How To Make Dark Tiles Work

Share

Flicking through showroom catalogues, dark tiles in dark bathrooms and kitchens always look stunning. But actually putting that into practice in your own home always appears a more daunting task. To shed light on how to bring those darker colours into your scheme and give you confidence in creating the showroom look for the home of your dreams, we’ve devised a list of three top tips when working with and choosing darker tiles.

Pair with light colours

It is easy to choose lighter colours, choosing a darker colour requires a little bit more courage and for many, this may be slightly difficult at first. However, when you pair your darker colours with complementary light colours, you can create a stunning visual effect that will enhance the richness of your darker colour tiles. Dark tiles can also be paired with lighter coloured tiles from the same range. The Levanto wall tile range is a perfect example of dark and light colours working beautifully together.

Lighting, lighting and lighting

A big worry for most customers is that using dark colours is going to make their room look dark and dingy. Yes, your tiles may be dark, but that doesn’t necessarily mean your room is going to be dark. By using lighting, you can create a visually appealing effect that will make your room look as clean and crisp as those in the showroom catalogues. Take some inspiration from our Hampstead range to see how lighting can be used on darker coloured tiles to create a brighter look.

Relax

The most important thing when utilising dark colours in your home is your confidence. Be confident in your tile choice and the design you have picked. Use our experts and trust their advice. Rooms such as bathrooms often benefit from darker styles as they can shift the ambience and atmosphere to one of a more relaxing nature. Sinking into a warm bath surrounded by well-placed spotlights and darker tiles enhances that relaxing feeling, therefore darker tiles should be embraced and not feared.
