Questions to ask any fitter
Mixing matt and gloss in the same tone stops the room reading flat under artificial light.
Black and white schemes photograph well and can feel cold in reality. Texture and tone do the work that colour normally does.
What we look at first
- Mixing matt and gloss in the same tone stops
- the room reading flat under artificial light.
- A warm grout with white tiles softens the
- grid; a bright white grout will show every mark within a year in a family room.
- One natural material, timber vanity, stone
- shelf or a woven blind, is usually enough to break the hard palette.
Frequently asked
Do dark tiles make a small room feel smaller?
Not automatically. A dark floor with lighter walls often reads as depth; dark on every surface in a room with one small window will feel enclosed.
What finish hides limescale best?
Textured or honed surfaces hide water marks better than high-gloss black, which shows every splash.
Ready to get the room measured up?
Photos of the existing room and the position of the soil stack help enormously before a visit.
