Floor tile ideas for any areas in the home.

Feb. 6, 2012 - PRLog -- Choosing floor tiles can be fun and there are plenty of choice specially when you look on the internet, in fact looking at floor tile variations on the internet is a really good place to start because there are many ideas in which to inspire. We may have a set idea on the type, colour and design of floor tiles we want or we may be starting from a blank page and not know at all the colour and styles we are going to use.

The size of the room matters and lighter colours work better in smaller rooms with darker colours working in larger rooms. Home owners can also incorporate darker colours in floor tile design in the form of border tiles which will give a nice design style.

The choices available are wide and home owners can choose from almost any combination they want,  there are a few ideas that are very popular and work well in any sized room and one great idea is to use multi sized floor tiles which are normally available in many tile materials such as natural stone floor tiles. The multi sized floor tiles may be a two or four floor tile combination that are installed using a certain pattern. The dimensions and the size of the room will have to be measured and the floor tile pattern worked out before installation to ensure the pattern is a success and you are happy with the finished product. This particular pattern using different sized floor tiles works well for any design style whether that is modern or traditional and lighter and darker floor tiles can be used.
The other floor tile design that is increasingly popular is a patterned floor tile design and this involves using a set pattern or style that will fit together nicely. There are many variations to consider and the choice you make will largely be a personal one. The aspects to consider are the colours already in the room and it may be a good idea to look at existing colours already in the room and pick out those colours. Home owners can use floor tile colours one shade lighter or darker and this will combine well and match the existing decor.

A plain floor tile can be installed which means there are no patterns or designs on the floor tiles and the colour is solid and continuing. This works well if there are no contrasting patterns in the room which may make the room appear too busy. When too many wall tile and floor tile patterns are used this can often make the room appear smaller and too busy and gives home owners less scope for other areas of the kitchen.

The floor tile material will also be prominent in your mind and this is important because if floor tiles are being installed in kitchen areas, they will need to be strong, durable and last the test of time. Popular and common materials to use in busy areas of the home are porcelain floor tiles and ceramic floor tiles because of their strength and durability and many of the natural stone floor tile varieties such as travertine floor tiles, granite floor tiles, slate floor tiles, again for their durability and long lasting features. Quarry floor tiles are also great especially for specific design styles, their rich reds and brown colours will offer both style and design and bring the natural into the home brilliantly.
