January is a difficult month to love, but after the whirlwind of the festive season, it brings time to take stock, explore new design trends and plan new projects. Family-run, independent online tiles and flooring specialist Hyperion Tiles has some insights to inspire and inform.
Director, Richard observes: “It’s never too soon to start thinking about how to update your interiors for the year ahead. And there are lots of different ways to use wall and floor tiles – complemented by carefully chosen accessories – to add some high-end finishing touches to your luxury home decor.”
Here are some of Richard’s recommendations for an upscale interiors makeover:
- Add texture to walls to create depth, dimension and an innovative point of interest. You can do this with silks, leathers and raffia – but for bathroom areas, use textured ceramic tiles, which are waterproof and hardwearing.
- Plump for parquet: Synonymous with elegance and wealth, classic parquet flooring is an enduring feature of luxury home decor ideas. Add a twist to traditional herringbone with other patterns, such as chevron or basket weave.
- Use statement tiles to create a feature wall. They are a fast and cost-effective way to transform a space, and work surprisingly well in bathrooms.
Indulge your creative streak with mosaic tiles. Use them sparingly as a border or accent, or transform an entire space with a wall-to-ceiling design.
