🏠 Transforming Your Space: 5 Must-Have Interior Finishes to Elevate Your Home

Your home is more than just a place to live—it’s an expression of your lifestyle, taste, and personality. Every wall, tile, and fixture tells a story. At Maanis, we believe that quality finishes are what transform a simple structure into a luxurious, welcoming space. Whether you’re building, renovating, or refreshing a single room, the right interior finishes make all the difference.

✳️ 1.1 Sanitaryware: The Heart of Modern Bathrooms

Your bathroom should feel like a private spa. Elegant sanitaryware not only improves comfort but also creates a timeless aesthetic. From wall-hung basins and concealed cistern toilets to minimalist taps and rain showers, these are small upgrades that bring major results.

  • Choose sleek, space-saving fixtures like wall-hung toilets.

  • Go for matt black or brushed brass taps for a contemporary look.

  • Combine soft lighting and clean tile lines for a spa-like ambience.

✳️ 1.2 Tiles: Foundation of Every Interior

Tiles define the overall tone of your room—whether it’s modern, rustic, or classic. Large-format tiles such as 600×1200 mm create a feeling of openness and luxury, while smaller tiles are perfect for textured walls or mosaics.

  • Porcelain and ceramic tiles provide durability and easy maintenance.

  • Neutral colours like beige, grey, and ivory enhance natural lighting.

  • Use textured finishes to add grip in wet areas like bathrooms and kitchens.

✳️ 1.3 Wallpaper & Panelling: The Art of Expression

Bring personality to your space with feature walls. Wallpaper adds depth, design, and warmth without the commitment of paint.

  • Try Maanis’s textured or hide-inspired wallpapers for an African-luxury feel.

  • Wood or PVC panelling adds a touch of sophistication and acoustic benefit.

  • Accent walls in living rooms and bedrooms instantly attract attention.

✳️ 1.4 Décor & Rugs: Finishing Touches that Complete the Look

Décor is where design comes alive. Maanis offers rugs, mirrors, and decorative pieces that complement your tiles and walls perfectly.

  • Layer rugs to define zones in open-plan homes.

  • Choose statement mirrors to add light and elegance.

  • Use metallic or glass accessories for a modern finish.

✳️ 1.5 Doors, Skirtings & Mouldings: The Unsung Heroes

Often overlooked, these small details complete the overall picture.

  • Use contrasting skirting colours to frame your floors.

  • Add mouldings for traditional elegance or clean trims for modern simplicity.

  • Align door handles and trims with your overall metal finish theme (brass, chrome, or matte black).
