21 Tasteful Tiling Ideas for Living Rooms
These living rooms use floor tiles to create colourful, earthy, bold and modern flooring designs
The living room expresses our sense of style. So, we carefully curate its furniture, curtains, art and carpets. An oft-overlooked medium to add a layer of design is the one that all the others rest on: the floor. Be it subtle or bold, a well-designed floor pulls the decor together and enriches it. Floor tiles are a great way to infuse colour, pattern and oodles of style into the decor of the living room. They come in porcelain, ceramic, natural stone, mosaic and many other materials. Here are some flooring ideas that will inspire you to design with floor tiles to enliven the overall decor of your living room.
