The hallway is the first space you or a guests see when you enter your home and as the saying goes ‘first Impressions count’. Your hallway needs to stand out and if you are looking for a tile that is going to pack a punch well nothing does it quite like a patterned tile.
Victorian Patterned Tiles
If there’s one thing we can say with certainty, the Victorians knew about tiling. Patterned tiles especially patterned floor tiles were highly popular and houses all around the country had hallways donned with patterned tiles many of which still are there today. The warm tones and the intricate patterns made for an inviting entrance. If you have some original victorian tiles in your home that need restoring we suggest contacting an expert.
While we are on the topic of period properties the black and white checkerboard pattern is a design that was extremely popular in the Edwardian and Georgian eras. This simple yet effective pattern will turn your hallway from dreary to a space that screams sophistication.
Coloured Patterned Tiles
Nothing says hello welcome to my home like a splash of colour. Geometric patterns and brightly coloured tiles are a common choice when decorating hallways. They add colour and fun to a space and are a fantastic way of adding some personality. In addition to patterned floor tiles, patterned wall tiles are a great way to inject some character into a hallway. Consider a patterned border, accent, or even a feature wall, which can help you create something super stylish. Whether you opt for a coloured floor tile or a coloured wall tile you are bound to receive lots of praise.
When choosing hallway tiles it’s also important to bear in mind that your hallway floor will see heavy amounts of foot traffic and is, therefore, more vulnerable to wear and tear. If you opt for more durable porcelain or ceramic tiles, your flooring will last longer.
