Here is a simple way to think about each space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Living rooms<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Living rooms are where larger formats shine. Big tiles mean fewer grout lines and a calmer, more spacious look. Marble-look glazed vitrified tiles and high gloss finishes reflect light, while matt and wood-look tiles feel warmer and more relaxed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Kitchens<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Choose floor tiles that are easy to clean and comfortable to stand on. For walls, glazed wall tiles make splashes simple to wipe away. A backsplash is also a good place for a pattern or colour you might not use elsewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bathrooms<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bathroom floors get wet, so ask about textured or matt options for floors. Glossy wall tiles help a small bathroom feel brighter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Balconies, parking and outdoors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Outdoor areas face sun, rain and \u2014 in parking areas \u2014 vehicle loads. Parking, heavy duty and elevation tiles are designed for these conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A quick checklist<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list is-style-ticks\">\n<li>How much footfall will the area get?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Will the floor get wet?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How much natural light is there?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do you want the space to feel bright and open, or warm and cosy?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not sure where to start?
