SOMETHING PRETTY, SOMETHING SPECIAL, NOT ORDINARY PALE WHITE
Those are the words uttered by some clients as the first thing. These days ceramic tiles are expected to give more than just a practical surface in the washroom. Tiles are a part of the interior!
Consumers are more frequently likely to prefer a colourful home. Alongside the long-time favourite green tiles, many customers request blue ones. Two-part colour schemes used for tiling walls (a combination of light and dark) are now darker and considerably more reflective of the whole, hence, creating a need to make a sufficient investment into lighting. Poor lighting does not do enough justice to the most outstanding tiled surfaces.
A BORDURE BETWEEN THE LIGHT AND DARK
Generally, it is customary to combine dark and light tiles so that the lower part of the wall of up to about a meter is covered with dark tiles whereas the rest of the wall is covered with light tiles. The natural place for a bordure is between the light and dark tiles. The location of the bordure can be determined by the position of the cabinets, it should remain between the lower and upper cabinet. It would make no sense to hide a pretty bordure behind the cabinet.
In fact, there is no hard and fast rule for use of dark and light colours on the same wall. Dark colours can be used for setting off light colours, for example as horizontal or vertical strips. A high room can be delineated most effectively by using dark tiles as the uppermost line of tiles. Classical chessboards can now be made an ample use of, since there is an increasing number of samples of 20x20 cm tiles available. Such a size allows to achieve a particularly stylish whole, diagonal tiling, that adds style even to a small room. Diagonal tiling and a combination of two colours can work wonders in a bathroom.
ACHIEVE A PERFECT WHOLE WITH A BORDURE
People are used to bordures running as a single line along all the walls in a room. Follow the suit of Central Europe and add some lines of bordure to your bathroom as well.
A perfect integral bordure is achieved, for example, by egding a wide floral or other bordure with two narrow semicircular bordures. Monochrome profiled bordures look perfect as floor baseboards and as the top edge of the tiles. The interior decoration of a bathroom is finished off with a mirror framed with bordure tiles. The mirror is custom-made and is installed into a completed tiling. Bordures offer wonderful options to lovers of genuine stone. Asymmetric pieces of marble allow to create a magnificent bordure, for example, between large natural light wall tiles. Marble bordures are often colourful. They can easily be united with wall tiles of different size because the bordures have no gaps.
