Tiles are one of the most durable, stylish, and versatile surface materials in interior design. They can dramatically change the look and feel of your space while offering practical benefits like waterproofing, hygiene, and easy cleaning.
✳️ 2.1 Tile Sizes and Layout Planning
The right size tile affects the entire perception of your room.
-
600×1200 mm tiles make small rooms look larger.
-
300×600 mm tiles are perfect for bathrooms and walls.
-
Square 600×600 mm tiles provide balance for medium spaces.
Tip: Always dry-lay a few tiles before installation to visualize the layout.
✳️ 2.2 Finishes: Matt vs Polished vs Textured
Each finish type serves a specific function and aesthetic.
-
Matt tiles: Great for minimalistic, modern spaces and wet areas.
-
Polished tiles: Reflective surface ideal for luxury living rooms or hotel-style bathrooms.
-
Textured tiles: Excellent for patios, balconies, or walk-in showers for better grip.
✳️ 2.3 Adhesives & Grouting: Don’t Cut Corners
Even premium tiles can fail without the right adhesive and grouting system.
-
Use flexible tile adhesives for porcelain or large-format tiles.
-
Match grout colour with tiles for a seamless look.

Ensure proper substrate preparation to prevent lifting and cracking.
