Apollo Flooring Center shows how ceramic and porcelain tile continue to be suitable in modern décor


Because ceramic and porcelain tile come from deep in the earth, they are known for resembling stone. Porcelain and ceramic tile also come in look-alike wood grains that increase the decorating potential of these products. When resurfacing floors with porcelain or ceramic tiles, there are numerous options from which to choose. We often think of the visual aspects when planning a decor makeover, or a single change in a space.

Visuals are big pieces of the puzzle. Another approach to home decor reaches a wider range when you consider touch and texture. Here are some variations of porcelain and ceramic tile that add an essential element to living spaces and make them more sensual.

The choice can be straightforward and fun. Just start with something you like. Finding some tile with texture is a good place to begin. It sets the mood and inspiration. Ceramic and porcelain tile that has different shapes and variables, is a decorating suggestion made by designer Marc Thee.

He also suggests choosing a neutral palate that has both dark and light tones. Colors than pop are also design elements that can create a spa-like ambiance when paired with big white ceramic or porcelain tile. Porcelain and ceramic tile with a textured surface change a good design into a great one.
