Using dark tiles in your home is often considered to be a bold move, yet they have an extremely rewarding result. Slate tiles are an affordable way to create a stunning textured floor, which is suitable for both contemporary and classic styles, as well as a brilliant modern wall tile. If you’re feeling brave, the use of slate on all your walls and the floor, creates a striking, futuristic look.

Triboo is a stone-effect porcelain tile collection with a contemporary look. Created with meticulous detail to attention, it draws its inspiration from “blend design” – an architectural trend that mixes and juxtaposes elements of natural inspiration and combines them with a strong technological content. The result is a unique and original series that combines multiple variations of stone into one.

White tiles are a timeless addition to your home. They are often used in kitchens to make the most of a small space, and even make great floor tiles in a small dark hallway without much natural light. We have a huge tile collection that includes plain and textured white tiles, often in ranges with other complementary colours in the same style too, so you don’t just have to have a boring white room!

There is not a lot of inspired shopping anywhere, especially when it comes to the big global brands. Clearly, that is a bold statement, (and my opinion); generally there is repetitive design, poor lighting and uninspired merchandise. I experienced a paradigm shift last week when I visited the newly opened Loewe shop in the Miami Design District. The creative director of this Spanish leather brand, Jonathan Anderson, decided not to follow convention and recreate another Art Deco or over the top
