Also in the catalog you can find a mosaic, which is used not only for cladding, but also in decorative inserts.

“Shakhty tile” is represented by collections, which differ in style, color, size and texture. The collection allows you to design a bathroom or any other room in a particular style. In order not to be mistaken in your choice, it is possible to look through the catalogs or see the options for finished works on the site. The official site offers to use the program of 3D modeling, where you can try on the desired collection for a specific room.

The collection is a background and decorative elements united by one design.

From the variety of styles, we can distinguish the classics, ethno and Mediterranean style:

• In the classic variation combines light and dark tiles. At the border of flowers there is often a decorative element. The classics in the Shakhty tile catalog are presented in series:

1. "Iris" is a gentle combination of lilac and white with the addition of decorative inserts depicting flowers of iris.
2. “Sevan” - conveys the beauty of the lake of the same name, or rather, imitates the Armenian pink tuff.

• Ethnic style is especially popular today. Elements of African culture or ornaments from Eastern countries will become a stylish decoration of the room.This style can be seen in the series "Selling" - lions and rock art will create a certain mood in the room.

• Mediterranean style combines natural colors, it is something fresh and comfortable. Often this tile is accompanied by panels and mosaics. Series "Andalusia" personifies the Spanish majolica.

Geometric shapes as a pattern look very interesting and modern. Designers recommend using this style sparingly, since an abundance of similar geometric parts can quickly tire. High-tech, retro, eastern styles are very popular.

Choosing a tile, designers advise not to chase fashionable color solutions. Any color has an effect on a person, so it is important that you be as comfortable as possible in a room. It is not necessary to tie the style of the bathroom to the overall style of the whole apartment. Still, this is a separate room for relaxation.

Shakhtynskaya tile works with designers from Tosilab. Designers for the collection of tiles borrowed many ideas from nature and the outside world. For example:

• "Amalia" - tile imitates silk textiles with floral patterns.

• "Adriano" - the tile is similar to the texture of the stone.

• "Amalfi" - an imitation of the sunny sandy coast.

Most often the bathroom and toilet are small rooms. Using a large tile will visually reduce the room. A good solution in this case is to use glossy tiles of light colors. Tile with a large pattern is also not suitable for a small room.

If you decide to use several colors in the design, it will be right to use the close colors of one series: yellow and orange, green and turquoise. This will expand the room a bit, make it more interesting. The “Muare” series combines two related colors and looks luxurious.

Let's look at what variations of tiles are now in trend.

Many of these species are already in the Shakhty tile catalog, some will appear in future collections:

• Marble does not go out of fashion. Now there is an opportunity to lay out a marble wall made of ceramics. Plus, not only in cost, but also in a variety of colors. Designers recommend not to use decorative inserts in the whole marble canvas.

• Rough surface under the stone looks great in contrast to the snow-white fixtures. The tile is almost always matte and embossed. So, it does not slip and will look great not only on the walls, but also on the floor.

• Very rich looks tile, imitating the skin of wild animals. Practicality from such tiles is much more than from natural upholstery, but it costs several times cheaper. Plus it does not require special care.

• Not the first year a tile with a 3D effect has attracted the attention of buyers. This effect looks more than modern. However, for such tiles requires more careful care because of the embossed complex pattern.

• Metal-coated tiles look more than unusual. Metallic ebb gives volume and is able to slightly expand a narrow space.

To care for ceramic tiles is quite simple. Often enough cleaning with a damp microfiber cloth. If there is visible pollution, then use a special tile cleaner.
