And how about durability as a flooring option? I mean .. What is the expectancy of its shine, gel layer and life in general? In a nutshell is it a viable option for living room floor? And if yes, then would its edges match or would it still be like tiles where edges don't quite match?

@ Divya Sreedar. You will have to contact all of the ceramic boutiques that deal with imported tiles in Chennai. Attached below is a photo from AMSET ONE store in trivandrum with the subway tiles on display as I have seen. It takes 3 weeks to arrive from order date. If you like us to deal with the purchase please contact us or you could call them directly to find out.

Hi Karuna, Here are a few pros and cons of using large tiles on walls - Pros - 1] They have lesser joints to fill and hence give the space a larger look and feel. 2] They look like stone cladding if installed properly. Cons - 1] They are costly as far as their rate/square foot and labour cost is concerned. 2] They require epoxy grout / adhesive instead of the regular cement grout which usually adds to the cost. 3] Since they are huge in size, they are not suitable for small areas due to the hassle of cutting the tiles manually to fir the size. 4] There is a high possibility of warp age in the tiles due to their size and because of this either their joints wont match or the surface may look undulated. Hence, it is recommended that large tiles be used for floors instead of walls. We would suggest to go in for the smaller sized tiles like 2'x2' or less for a more aesthetic look. Just apply tiles between the kitchen cabinets and avoid doing so near the peninsula. It would make the kitchen look lighter and brighter and not like a bathroom. Also for the back splash you may go for any of the following tile options - 1] Mosaic 2] Ceramic tiles/ Vitrified tiles 3] Natural stone such as granite All the best! Regards, RnD Atelier Nagpur

Hello there, First things first, from the perspective of utility, the foyer is very slim and hence floating decor and furniture are recommended. You could replace the idol with a POP 3D idol and a few ledges of wood for keys and accessories. If you want a shoerack, you could place it adjacent to the window. Illumination could be done with a couple of ceiling spot lights and a mini chandelier/ pendants to welcome guests. You could accomodate a console table too by converting your shoerack into a console table. Also, the door panels should be changed and veneer panels should be pasted on both sides and polished. Wood frame color has to be changed to natural wood grain/ dark walnut. Imitation stone cladding tiles has to be removed and replaced with matt finish/ high gloss marble tiles and illuminated with pendant lights. Regards, Aurum Ideas and Spaces Bhubaneswar.
