A look at How Far the World of Tiles Has Come on Leaps and Bounds
Tiles are one of those home additions that can add considerable value to a property and, in some cases, completely transform the look, and feel of a space without too much disruption. If you don’t have tiles in your kitchen or bathroom/shower area, then there is probably some evidence of water damage or such like or, discoloration of areas that normally receive a lot of use, food splashes are often the biggest culprit.
If you do have tiles in your home already then you might want to question their replacement or, add to your current arrangement to really bring the best out of your living space;
If you don’t have tiles
Perhaps you’ve never had tiles in your home, which might seem a bit odd to other people, especially when it comes to areas of your home like, the bathroom/shower room or kitchen, however, it’s never too late and the world of times is simply fantastic, you’ve never seen anything like it. Maybe you considered the idea at one point, but didn’t like the style or look, which is completely understandable. A quick look at today’s innovative, high-quality tiles presents companies that have designed their own brands of tiles that offer some really outstanding tiling options, all the way from flat tiles to tiles that add a 3D feel to the space that they are added to.
With the right tiles you could completely transform an area that you use on a regular basis and, perhaps, has seen better days. Not only will it make the area a more pleasant, cleaner place to be, it should provide you with superb value for money over what you have in place already because tiles can be wiped down for cleaning and they last for as long as you can look after them too!
If you already have tiles
If you already fitted tiles in your home, then you may have just become ‘used to’ them, did you choose them or were they already in the property when you moved in? The chances are, for most people, the tiles that are in their home are part of the existing décor arrangement, chosen by somebody else at a different point in time, how long ago though?
The term ‘used to’ is a bit crap really, isn’t it? Why should anybody get ‘used to’ anything, it’s unlikely you’ve had the same TV set for 10 years or more. Especially when it comes to your home, your home should be a place that you are proud of, somewhere to retreat to at the end of a hard day’s work for comfort and a chance to enjoy your family or surroundings. If it’s not, then why work so hard?
The new family spaces
If you are part of a family unit, you’ll have probably noticed a shift as to where you tend to sit and talk these days compared to say 10 years ago. Most families, for one reason or another, have made a move from the ‘living room’ and taken the kitchen hostage as their new focal point. If you find yourself, and your family spending more time than you used to in your kitchen, then it could be a wise investment to get some really snazzy tiles installed.
