The hallway is one of the hardest-working spaces in the home, as well as the first and last area guests see. The latest Tile of Spain collections show how ceramic tiles can combine style, durability and practicality, with insights from María D Arráez, Director of Tile of Spain UK.
First impressions count
“Patterned flooring, bold colours and tactile textures can give a hallway real personality, while durable, low-maintenance tiles make everyday life easier.”
Pattern is back
“Checkerboard, geometric and Mediterranean-inspired designs are increasingly popular. In hallways, patterned tiles can even replace a rug while being easier to clean and more resilient.”
Warmth is the new neutral
“Terracotta, beige, olive, warm white and sandy tones are replacing cool greys. Wood-effect tiles and earthy shades pair beautifully with natural materials and can brighten darker hallways.”
Extend the flooring throughout the ground floor
“Using the same tile from the hallway through into the kitchen or living area can help the ground floor feel more connected and make smaller spaces appear larger.”
