How to Choose Tiles That Enhance Living Room Space 

The living room can be called the face of your home. It is a place of comfort, gatherings, and shared joy. Your living room is a great way to express personal style and set the mood for guests. One of the most impactful touchpoints in your living room that can transform it is the tiles. The right living room tiles add more to your space than just a flooring or covering on the wall. They can visually expand the space, improve light flow, and create a cohesive design that can help you create a flow throughout the house. 

Here’s a comprehensive guide to making the right tile choices that transform your living room into a cosy and stylish space.

Consider Tile Sizes for an Airy Feel

Large-format tiles, measuring 24×24 inches or larger, have become the norm for living rooms because they create fewer grout lines, resulting in a more seamless and expansive appearance. These larger tiles for the hall make rooms feel more open and less cluttered visually. They are also great at bringing about continuity to your living room. 

Choose the Right Colours

The use of the right color, whether it is light or dark, can change the way your living room looks. Colour can make the room seem smaller or bigger depending on how it is used. Neutral shades make the living room feel airy and open. Lighter shades like beige, ivory, soft greys, and warm whites are easier to pair with different furniture styles and accent colours. If you are inclined towards darker colours, then using them sparingly and strategically is important. Accent walls with tiles for the hall are a great way to include dark colours in your living room. 

Finish Matters: Glossy or Matte

The glossy or more polished finish reflects natural and artificial light easily. It helps in brightening the space and creates a sense of openness. Matte finishes lend a subtle and understated elegance to the space. While they absorb more light, they work beautifully in well-lit living rooms and are perfect for a sophisticated feel. Satin or semi-polished finishes strike a perfect balance between shine and subtlety. You can also create a good combination of the two different kind of tiles for the hall.

Textured Tiles for the Special Touch

Excessive use of textured tiles can end up making your living room feel overcrowded or smaller. Textures add character, but using them well is essential when the goal is to enhance space. Mild textures or soft stone finishes provide depth without making the living room feel like there is too much happening. Textured wall tiles for the hall used on a single accent wall can add visual drama while keeping the rest of the space open and uncluttered.

Pick the Material for Maintenance and Durability

Whatever material you pick generally dictates the durability of your tiles. Vitrified tiles, particularly glazed vitrified tiles (GVT) and double-charged tiles, are the top choices for living room tiles due to their low porosity, high strength, and resistance to stains and scratches. They can handle the heavy footfall in your living room for years while looking their best. 

Wood-finish tiles offer the warmth and inviting feel of hardwood flooring with the durability of tiles. They also ensure maintenance is easier than traditional wooden tiles. Marble-look tiles deliver luxury without the high maintenance of natural marble, making them ideal for elegant living room tiles.

Balance the Wall and Flooring Designs

A proper flow in the room is extremely important for maintaining visual continuity. Floors can be a great foundation or base upon which the rest of the room rests, including the wall designs. Feature walls behind sofas or TV units can be highlighted with textured, stone, or patterned tiles, adding depth and focus. Proper flow ensures the spaces look like a whole unit and does not look segmented. 

Create a Well-Rounded Space

Your tile selection should be in sync with your living room’s overall design scheme. When making this crucial decision, take into consideration your furniture style, wall colors, lighting fixtures, and architectural features. For contemporary interiors, you can choose to include sleek, large-format tiles in neutral tones or bold geometric patterns. The right tile choice acts as a canvas, supporting the overall interior design without overpowering it.
