Whether needing a heat-resistant material for fireplace framing or wanting to create an open and expansive wall and flooring solution, the only limits to using ceramic tile are your imagination. It’s largely why the Sarana Tile Oakville showroom is so highly appreciated. The ideal place to get inspiration, here are just some of the visuals you can expect to see when visiting our showroom.
Dining Room
There’s something timeless and classic about creating an expansive, uniform, and perfectly leveled dining room floor out of ceramic tile. Soft on the feet, durable, allergen-free, and able to withstand all kinds of traffic, the right ceramic tile can accentuate any dining room design or aesthetic.
Focus on large-format, lighter-toned ceramic tiles that create wider, more open spaces with fewer grout lines. Don’t limit yourself to just using ceramic tiles as a flooring solution. With its numerous intricate designs and textures, ceramic tile can be used as a decorative wall solution, helping to achieve whatever personalized style suits you best.
Living Room
Whether it’s mimicking hardwood flooring, creating that iconic marble look, or looking to welcome visitors with a more homely, natural, and earthy appearance with terracotta ceramic tiles, there’s simply no design, pattern, texture, or look you can’t achieve with ceramic tile. Even certain intricate mosaic ceramic tile designs can be used to create the appearance of a well-maintained and always-clean rug.
Again, moving beyond flooring, ceramic tile walls can be made to appear larger, wider, and taller while helping to accentuate whatever aesthetic or appearance you want your living room to have. From using the eye-catching appeal of ceramic tiles with monochromatic patterns, having that feel and look of natural wood, to creating a more modern and contemporary look, you’ll never be short of ideas.
Kitchens
Yes, a kitchen ceramic tile floor can be made to appear larger and more welcoming, and yes, larger-format ceramic tiles reduce the number of grout lines, are easier to maintain and clean, and help your kitchen to look and feel larger. However, large-format ceramic tile is also an excellent choice for creating an incredible backsplash.
Leverage the numerous textures, colors, and tones throughout your kitchen. Whether it’s wanting your flooring to appear like a natural dark walnut or cedar, using a charcoal grey color as your kitchen’s backsplash, or mimicking marble, natural stone, or quartz for your countertops, there is no shortage of design styles you can create for your kitchen.
Hallways and Walkways
Not only are ceramic tiles ideal for walkways and hallways, but the right-sized ceramic tile, color, and tone can help to make those hallways and walkways appear wider and taller. Use recessed lighting alongside glossy ceramic tile to help bring out whatever pattern, color, or texture on your ceramic tile. Glossy ceramic tiles are the ideal solution for reflecting light, helping to create a luster and shine that can’t be ignored.
Bathrooms
Think of every surface in your bathroom. Think of the flooring, shower walls, and vanities. Now think about the design and style you most want to achieve. Whether it’s having the look and feel of marble flooring, wanting to simulate natural wood, or wanting that iconic granite vanity, there’s a large-format ceramic tile, color, and texture to achieve the look you want.
Bedrooms and Basements
In yet another example of this incredible material’s versatility, ceramic tiles are an excellent flooring solution for basements. Thanks to its superior water resistance and durability, ceramic tiles won’t succumb to the gaps and raised surfaces so common with floating floors.
Bedrooms also do well with ceramic tiles and are a much better option than natural wood flooring, which easily succumbs to scratches and scuff marks. The more traffic your natural wood flooring encounters, the more prevalent and obvious the damage. This simply isn’t a concern with ceramic tile. With larger-format ceramic tiles, you can create a seamless, no-gap, natural wood flooring appearance that will be easier to maintain and last for years to come.
