Gone are the days of industrial style only being for lofts and factories. We are seeing more and more kiwi homes add elements of the industrial trend into their rooms, with concrete-look tiles being a popular way of achieving the look.

The industrial trend is all about floor to ceiling concrete, dark colours and raw elements through exposed brick or chrome. A recent client successfully produced an on-trend, industrial en-suite in their Hamilton home. They achieved the look by using Tile Space's Cementia Grey floor to ceiling tiles and Subway tile, Shades White Gloss, for a feature wall.

The concrete look tile was a perfect choice for this on-trend space whilst proving size doesn't always matter. Porcelain tiles can be used on floors and walls, therefore, you can use the same tile to make the area look cohesive and spacious. The choice of extending the tiles from the floor to ceiling not only enhances the urban look but also tricks the eye, creating the illusion that the area is larger.

By choosing porcelain tiles the homeowner can achieve the look of concrete without the hassle of pouring concrete and maintaining them. Porcelain is impervious to water, therefore, making it the perfect material for wet rooms. It is also easy to clean and doesn't build up dust and dirt or support mould or mildew. For more benefits of Porcelain tile see our blog post 18 Reasons to choose tile.

Cementia Grey & Shades White Subway 

The sleek white vanity and chrome tapware, brighten up the space and complement the white glossy wall tiles, whilst keeping the colour palette neutral and relaxing. Top Tip: Try and avoid making the space feel too sterile and cold, tiles with variation and character in the design adds warmth. Homeowner Alesha tells us, all that's missing is a hanging mirror and a touch of black paint on their vanity handles and her dream bathroom will be complete.
