My best advice is take your time, and if it is all too daunting, bring in the experts. We are updated in the latest stock, we have seen a lot of the tiles in situ, and we have some fantastic contacts/suppliers. We also understand the difference between a porcelain tile; a natural stone and a ceramic tile, as well as the variations of grout, and the difference they will make to the overall look and wearability.
Storie – Florim ceramic tiles from European Ceramics; the timber tray and bowls display at Apartmento; the stunning granite slab from SlabCo; my favourite antique cane chair, and Pierre Frey’s cork wallpaper from Atelier – all creating interesting texture and tones, naturally.
The new season’s tiles are looking great, particularly some of the splashback options. Here’s a taste from a couple of my favourite tile suppliers.

To create the feeling of a larger space in this small ensuite I have used the same porcelain tiles on the floor as on the walls, all the way up to the ceiling.
The Laminam splashback features in the kitchen of my clients new house. It is a full body porcelain tile only 3.5mm thick, with the advantages of being heat resistant, no grout line and stain resistant. The kitchen needed a strong statement, without it taking over. We were all very pleased with the result.
