Maria D Arráez, director of Tile of Spain UK, reveals how selecting a particular tile and using it to permeate an environment can enhance a bathroom design.
Similar to colour drenching, tile drenching involves saturating a room with a single tile design, with the goal of creating a cohesive and immersive environment in which the tiles are the dominating feature. Tile of Spain’s manufacturers offer a wide range of products in a variety of shapes, patterns, styles and finishes meaning the creative possibilities to drench spaces are endless.
Tile drenching can make spaces feel larger and lighter, adding a sense of harmony and flow creating a seamless, uninterrupted appearance. Using large format tiles can deliver a more sleek, spacious look when covering the walls and floors, perfect for modern and minimalist spaces, whereas small format tiles will add detailing, texture and more visual interest to a room.
A versatile artistic trend, tile drenching enables homeowners and designers to express their creativity while providing a variety of design and functional benefits. Whilst mostly used in bathrooms to create the illusion of a wetroom, in which the shower area blends seamlessly into the rest of the room, drenching can be applied successfully to any room to instantly create a feeling of connectivity and cohesive design.
From the classic, refined feel of monochrome tiles to the modern, clean aesthetic of a more neutral palette, drenching provides ample opportunity to make a statement in the home through various patterns and colour palettes. Showcasing how colour can perfectly drench a bathroom, AB Azulejos Benadresa’s Icaro tiles in Musk Pulido combine an intricate marble design and pattern variation to provide a stunning blend of green hues, resulting in an elegant look and luxurious atmosphere that will stand the test of time.
Exuding a warm, natural, homely look, matt tiles will add depth and a subtle elegance, great for modern and more rustic kitchens and bathrooms. When drenched, light will bounce around the room with their beautiful soft appeal creating a soothing, serene atmosphere.
Representing 125 ceramic tile manufacturers across Spain, Tile of Spain promotes the incredible quality and values worldwide of the Spanish tile industry. Versatile, durable and authentic, Spanish tiles offer unique characteristics and unlimited aesthetic possibilities whilst acting as a global benchmark for their high degree of innovation.
