Where and how to apply decorative tiles in the interior of the living room?

Having preferred plastic and wood panels, film and glass. But the decorative tiles were gradually moved to the living room! At the same time, it complements not the eccentric style of the interior, but the most ordinary one - classic, high-tech, vintage. But how exactly do designers do it?

Portals or facades

You can lay out a portal or facade with decorative tiles. It is practical, stylish and unusual. Such decoration of the living room will not go unnoticed by guests. If in doubt about the application of this solution, then you can use wallpaper that mimics decorative tiles.

Especially for the loft style, ceramics are indispensable, because it emphasizes the comfort, which sometimes is not enough in this design direction.

Tile and window opening

Ceramic mosaics will help to design the window opening in an original way. She will replace the wallpaper around the window, becoming a drapery. In addition, if blowing from under the window, the tile will help solve this problem.

Countertop. Why not?

It sounds strange, but the surfaces of tables (dining and coffee), window sills and banquets in the living room can be made of tiles. Especially if you correctly combine the texture of tiles with furniture and decoration materials.

Around... stoves!

Does the house have a stove? So, decorative tiles are simply necessary. She needs to lay out the space in front of the stove on the floor. This will simultaneously protect the house from fire and give the “potbelly stove” an unusual look.

Accent

One wall in the living room can be fully tiled with decorative tiles. It is desirable that the tile is as if knocked out of the overall design of the room, so that the emphasis is brighter.

Choosing decorative tiles as a decoration material for the living room, you should be aware of some nuances. Firstly, it is better to abandon it in favor of another material, if there is a TV in the living room, the sound will be reflected. Secondly, if you still want to decorate the living room with tiles, but there is no way to abandon the TV, then you need to equip the room with sound-absorbing ceilings.
