Tiles can simulate natural materials with all the advantages of porcelain.
More and more architects and interior designers are opting for natural design in their spaces. The scarcity of green spaces in big cities is one of its great precursors, but also in villages and country houses they seek to bring the nature of the outdoors indoors.
To re-establish this connection with the environment we have all kinds of resources: wooden furniture, indoor plants, textile prints with floral motifs… In this sense, ceramic tiles are integrated as a decorative element that can help to reinforce the soothing and organic effect of nature. The multiple characteristics that shape their final appearance are the secret.
The latest printing technologies allow tiles to achieve shades that immediately remind us of natural materials. Different scales of browns, grays or whites remind us of the most common colors found in stones and woods such as granite or cherry wood.
As is logical, these color ranges are not presented homogeneously on the surface, but are distributed more or less unevenly in the final piece. With these small details it is possible to emulate the perfect imperfection that makes nature so beautiful and welcoming.
This point refers to the visual textures. With these color changes, different patterns can be drawn on the tile surfaces that are reminiscent of real stone and wood. The characteristic wood grain will vary in tone, thickness and shapes depending on the type of wood being sought to evoke.
Rustic style tiles are reminiscent of natural wear and tear, and are decidedly different from marble, with a much softer and more elegant visual appearance.
It should be noted that in some collections they are present in finishes such as polished, high gloss or matte, and the feel of the surface will also change accordingly. This feature will allow us to regulate whether we want a final surface appearance that is more modern, more luxurious or more aligned with natural aesthetics.
But the look of porcelain tiles can be worked beyond color and finishes. There are special collections that allow ceramic tiles to have relief. This feature boosts the tactile and visual value of the surfaces, which will be more realistic than ever, and offer very interesting color variations thanks to more or less illuminated areas. Whether as flooring or cladding, the relief will intensify the sensation of being in front of a real surface of wood or all types of natural stone.
