Tile with a pattern: beautiful solutions for your interior

Today, there is a huge variety of all kinds of tiles, decorated with drawings: there are simple options, there is a refined and even unique, custom-made products. The decision to take is very difficult precisely because the quality and stylistic elaboration are always very high. It remains only to focus on the specific features of the premises and the specific appearance of the tiles. Then you will not make any mistakes when choosing them.

Most often, bathrooms are decorated with ceramic tiles, and there one must always look for a balance between external originality and the canons of style, the appropriateness of a particular solution in the interior. With the help of artificial lighting (well-chosen, of course), a tile with a pattern acquires a slightly different shade than it has on a stand or on the street.Take this into account always and in the selection of material, and in the design of the bathroom itself. Vertical ornament lifts the room up and makes it visually more spacious than it actually is.

As with any other finishing material, you should avoid overuse in dark colors. They only exacerbate the problem of insufficient space, but light colors will help to externally push the space. A gross mistake would be the choice of ceramic tiles with a large bright pattern, except in rare cases. To use it in a typical apartment, where even without that place it seems very small, means to beat one's own interest.

But if you leave “overboard” frankly weak options, what will remain? Not so unattractive design products: the classic type of design, in which the upper part of the wall is made lighter than the lower one (with or without special curb elements) looks good in any external environment.If you want to take a chance and try a bolder design, you can choose monochromatic tiles for some parts of the room, and on others put decorative materials with an attractive ornament.

The tiles with an oriental pattern are bright and expressive, they look exotic and certainly cannot be considered as some kind of patterned move. Wall and floor panels should be designed in the most juicy and catchy keys, then the composition will be perceived much better.

Country style will suit fans of a variety of subjects:

• Meadow and field herbs and flowers.
• Wheat fields.
• Ocean expanses.

The tile can be “not similar to itself”, that is, to imitate the look of other materials. You can reproduce wood and strip laminate, natural leather and stone, golden surfaces.

If you want to not just use your favorite geometric pattern, You should carefully consider the specific purpose for which the tile will be used:

• Horizontal patterns lengthen the wall, while you can choose any of the main geometric shapes - rhombus, oval, triangle. An alternative to them are three-dimensional compositions and complex ornaments that can fulfill the same role. Instead of a simple vertical pattern for the visual rise of the ceiling, intermittent strips of tile, painted in discreet and bright colors, which use pairs of mutually contrasting colors of the ornament, work well.

• If the room is both narrow and long, the dark tones wall tile laid out at the end of the room will visually reduce the size of the corridor and make the wall closer to the observer, will allow you to feel not square, but square.

• The combination of white and black, dark blue and golden, sandy and brown colors helps to add spice and intrigue to the room, and if you wish, you can combine any light and dark colors at your discretion.When such a move is used in small rooms, the ornament should be made smaller and less bright, otherwise there will be a feeling of tightness and lack of space.

• Tiles with floral prints are justified application even in the classic "male" interior. Of course, this is not about banal romantic daisies, but even without them there are quite a few attractive solutions. So, on a small area it is worth applying a small print, as light as possible in execution. Choose a strong or pronounced emphasis on a particular part of the room or a point plot within the overall decor. Violation of this rule leads to bad taste and unnatural design.

• Floral panels should be used as a powerful accent movement. The details of the composition occupy individual tiles, and when they come together, the whole picture is obtained. Depending on the design of designers and other nuances, the number of tiles in one element is usually from 2 to 10 pieces. Frisise format involves two, three or four tiles with the main picture, laid out vertically to achieve the desired height. Three-dimensional blocks with flower scenes are very attractive and realistic,allow you to make a unique look in the room.

Patterned variety of their chosen for a variety of reasons. Drawing the picture on the floor makes any dirt less noticeable than on a uniform background. In addition, many people are attracted by the opportunity to make the interior more lively and even more unique.

A panel on the floor can be made up of four tiles, on which a pattern in square or round design is applied. Ornaments in the style of patchwork, created solely according to your personal preferences, may look just as good. Low-key abstract drawing - all sorts of curls and twists, floral patterns are best combined with similar motifs on the walls.

If the floor consists of repeating elements, if a series of diagonal stripes is used, then you can create a truly original combination using the styling options - herringbone or zigzag.

If the simplest blue tile, even with its exquisite type of drawings, has ceased to satisfy you or does not seem to be organic enough, you should look at the options with photo printing.It is important to choose the appropriate option of drawing the image: out of competition there will still be drawing the firing patterns and the decal technique that allow you to hold the image for up to half a century.

Neither sublimation nor UV printing can yet achieve the necessary stability. under the action of mechanical loads and various substances. If the choice is made in favor of kiln firing, a batch of tile that does not have any drawings initially is taken as the starting material.

If the image seems too large, the technology allows you to divide one image into a couple of tiles and even more. In some cases, it is possible to carry out two or three test samples, according to which it is best to select the exact color. For firing will have to pay from 9 to 13 thousand rubles. for each square of coverage, depending on how large a lot is ordered.

The sublimation technique will require you to pay 1.5-3 thousand rubles for the same area, but take into account the costs of procurement, as well as an increase in payment for a single order.Ultraviolet printing allows you to get the desired picture for only 1000 rubles, but the resistance of the applied image is too small, it does not exceed six months, even with the strictest observance of technology.

Useful recommendations:

• Although the panels are a great success, you need to know about the features of this option in order to avoid mistakes. In addition to simple graphic images, modern techniques allow the formation of large-scale photo collages. It is recommended to use tiles from no more than one collection at a time for each room, so that there is no difference in appearance.
• With the help of tiles, you can make out single elements and make those semantic accents that you consider necessary in a particular case. This design is recommended for provenvian baths, and the organic combination is so great that you can not even look for other ways to decorate the space.

• Borders or small-sized rectangles are designed to add new motives to the decoration or to share, to make existing plots less catchy. The most attractive is the border, which is bordered with a strip of gold, silver or bronze color.In some cases, expensive collections may even include jewelry crystals. There are options for laying curbs under the ceiling, like a plinth, you can form a frame out of them. Just such steps help to create an impressive picture.

• If you want ceramic tile to look really original and meet the latest design trends, take those collections that have blocks-triangles. Hexagonal tiles, hourglasses, octagons, and so on are now becoming fashionable. The triangular version of the drawing is recommended to be used in a high-tech or minimalist setting; such an ornament also looks good against the background of original designer furniture and design elements.
