From striking colourways to feature walls, small format tiles allow you the freedom to create truly eye-catching designs – Maria D Arráez, director of Tile of Spain UK, reveals how they can enhance a kitchen or bathroom scheme.
With hundreds of collections to choose from, Tile of Spain’s manufacturers provide a plethora of small-format tiles in a variety of finishes, textures and colourways, meeting the style and practical requirements of any interior design schemes. Here are a selection of the latest launches...
1. Flexibility & Creativity
Offering flexibility in terms of pattern, layout and style, small-format tiles provide the opportunity to be more creative and personal with tile design, turning floors and walls into a creative canvas. With so many shapes and colours to choose from, including hexagons, triangles, rhombuses and even classic rectangles, unique spaces can be created with ease. From eye-catching kitchen and bathroom splashbacks to feature walls – the possibilities are endless.
2. Adaptability & Ease of Installation
Ideal for more compact or uniquely shaped rooms, small-format tiles allow designers to tile even the most awkward of spaces. Thanks to their size, small-format tiles won't hinder style choices, meaning no compromise is made on creativity in design.
Compared to larger tiles, small tiles are much easier to replace and repair, as it is much simpler to remove a small, damaged tile instead of a large one, making them a cost-effective choice for homeowners.
3. Eye-Catching Grout
When using small-format tiles, grout is considerably more important because there is more of it, which offers greater freedom of imagination to create a truly distinctive scheme. Selecting a grout colour that most closley resembles the tile tone will ensure a seamless, sleek aesthetic, while using a contrasting grout colour will make a visual statement, making the grout lines part of the overall design.
