Using creative and beautiful design choices for your home decoration
project is an important step, on which the real success of the project
depends. Choosing a design that suits the architectural style of the
house, the colour choices, tiles for the flooring, counters and
backsplashes all have a powerful impact on the overall look. Granite
floor tiles are compatible with any interior design style. Flooring is
one of the strongest design elements of the interiors, next to the
cabinets and appliances. Design the most elegant floors using granite
floor tiles. These can suit any setting, be it modern, traditional or
many combinations in between. Make use of the different colours,
patterns, graining and venation styles depending on the basic theme of
the kitchen or bathroom.
Granite is a crystalline stone with a
hard exterior and interior. The characteristic colours of the stone are
normally imparted by mica, quartz and feldspar, which make up the
overall composition of the stone. Granite floor tiles are excellent
tiling materials for busy floors, as they are durable, strong and easy
to keep up. Granite is a quality stone, which is quite expensive.
However, if do get an inexpensive choice in granite tiles, when compared
to the slabs. Tiles are definitely more versatile than slabs and
suitable for floors of many rooms like kitchens, bathrooms, foyers,
porches, and hallways.
As they are natural stones, you can expect
some natural variations. These can always be taken advantage of if you
are using smaller tiles. When these granite tiles have a lot of
variations, large tiles may not look that good, and the overall look
becomes poorly executed. Granite makes a bold impression, and hence use
it creatively either on the floor or the walls. Using them on both
these, may become overkill and spoil the entire design theme. If you
want to use the boldness of granite to your advantage, use them
extensively on the floors, and use other subtle materials on the walls,
backsplashes and countertops.
Almost all colours of granite floor
tiles, like white, brown, beige and black as well as blues, reds and
greens are stunning to look at. The grain or crystal pattern can look
loose, dense or tight and give a dramatic look. You get different
finishes like honed, polished and fired, though the most preferred one
for a sleek outlook is the polished one. Use these polishes and finishes
in a way that complements your interior and blends well with the
overall design and style. You can customize the choices of graining and
veining according to the other aspects in the room. Use either bolder or
subtle patterns of these tiles according to the creative designing and
enjoy a beautiful home for many years.
