Being able to tie the wonders of the outdoors with the very human requirements of the indoors takes skill and subtlety. 

It is easy to forget about the number of outdoor things we bring into our home. Flowers and plants are commonplace in many homes across the UK, while we are forever trying to bring natural scents and smells into our homes too. 

But it can be easy to forget that wood is also an outdoor material. So versatile and engrained in human living has it become over time that this simple fact is easily forgotten. 

Wood has been one of humanity’s biggest allies over time, and we have long chosen it as a material to use within our homes. But sometimes tying together natural beauty and practicality is easier said than done. However, with items such as wood-effect tiles, you can do exactly that.  

Wood effect tiles bring the aesthetic and vibe of wood into the home. But this is with the caveat of being made of porcelain in actuality. Wooden flooring styles offer a beautiful basis for the rest of a room to flourish. With rich, evocative shades and smooth finishes, wood effect tiles are a great choice for the home for a number of reasons. 

They are also truly versatile, providing homeowners with ample opportunity to introduce wood effect tiles in a range of locations. 

In our latest blog, we explore some of the exciting parts of the modern home where wood effect tiles can be used. 

Wood effect in the bathroom

The bathroom space in any home is one where practicality comes first. It is in essence a functional room, but there is no reason why it cannot also have a luxurious feel and be truly an area to enjoy. 

Something of critical importance in a bathroom is having a tough, durable flooring set up. Bathroom floor tiles come in a variety of shades and styles, but wood effect tiles here can bring a smooth and sophisticated feel to things. 

The wooden aesthetic can also easily be taken further with accessories and additions to the bathroom area.  

Wood effect living spaces

The creation of a minimalist and modern feeling living area is the desired result for many people when it comes to home improvement. The trend towards that ultra-chic style is something that can definitely be supported by wood effect tiles. 

The clinical and confident vibe that wood effect tiles emit in a living area allows for beautiful spaces to be created with ease in a modern home. 

The effect is equally impressive in television areas as it is in dining areas or home offices, meaning that the possibilities with wooden tiles in these spaces really know no limits. 

Wood effect welcome areas

There are plenty of areas of the home that can be overlooked or neglected when it comes to revamping or enhancing their look. Welcome areas, including hallways and cloakrooms, contribute significantly to the first impressions any visitor gets. But they all too often fall to the bottom of the list when you think about areas of the home you would like to enhance. 

This of course need not be the case. Realistic wood effect tiles can help bring that contemporary feel to these often-neglected spaces. 

Wood effect wall tiles or floor tiles in welcome areas and similar spaces in the home can contribute hugely to the overall feel your home has, giving you that natural chic feel throughout. 

And do not be afraid to be adventurous when it comes to using wood effect tiles in your domestic spaces. It is amazing how far different areas can be brought on with a stylish revamp. With wood effect tiles as a central part of that effort, you can make a huge difference.
