Tiles for living rooms, dining areas and open-plan floors: large format travertine, marble, stone and terrazzo looks that carry from room to room and out to the alfresco.
FAQs
What size tile is best for a living room?
For most living rooms, 600 x 1200 mm is the sweet spot. It gives a spacious look with few grout lines and is still manageable to lay. Very large rooms can take 1200 x 1200 mm.
Are polished tiles a good idea in a living room?
They can be, in a dry, formal space. Polished tiles reflect light and look luxurious, but they show dust and footprints and are slippery when wet. Matt, honed or lappato finishes are easier for everyday family living.
Can my living room tile continue onto the alfresco?
Often, yes. Choose a range that also comes in an outdoor finish with a P4 or P5 rating for the outside area, and keep the colour and laying direction the same for a seamless look.
Are tiles cold underfoot in winter?
Tiles feel cool, which suits a Sydney summer. In winter, rugs help, and tiles pair very well with underfloor heating because they hold and spread the warmth.
Which tile looks suit a living area?
Warm, natural looks such as travertine, limestone and soft stone in beige and cream suit most homes. Terrazzo and micro cement looks suit more modern interiors, and marble looks suit formal living and dining rooms.
