The cement tiles are back to stay. Their handcrafted charm, personality-filled patterns and colours make them an ideal centrepiece for any decorative project.
But... how do you get them to fit perfectly in different styles? Today we show you how combining cement tiles with decoration of different styles to achieve unique spaces with a lot of soul.
Tiles in modern style: contrast with character
Modern design is characterised by clean lines, open spaces and a neutral palette. In this context, the cement tiles function as a focal point that breaks with sobriety. A good idea is to use them on kitchen or bathroom floors, surrounded by minimalist black or white furniture. This way, the pattern takes centre stage without visually saturating. The secret is to balance the classic and the contemporary.
Tiles with rustic style: natural connection
The rustic style and the cement tiles form a perfect combination. Both are reminiscent of craftsmanship, authenticity and cosiness. For this type of decoration, we recommend choosing designs in earthy colours, olive green or aged blue. They combine wonderfully with natural wood, exposed beams and linen textiles. The result is a warm space full of history.
Tiles in industrial style: urban and traditional
Do you love the industrial style, with its touches of cement, iron and exposed brick? The cement tiles can provide the necessary touch of warmth. Use them as a visual carpet in the dining area or to cover a kitchen front. Geometric and black and white designs are ideal for this approach, as they respect the urban aesthetic without losing the traditional soul.
Bohemian-style tiles: colour, pattern and freedom
If there is a style that allows you to play without rules, it is boho. Here, the cement tiles and decorative styles mix and match fearlessly. Combine them with ethnic textiles, vintage furniture, plants and art pieces to create a vibrant atmosphere full of personality. In this style, tiles are not only used on the floor, they can also climb up walls or form part of a handcrafted table or bar.
Classically styled tiles: timeless elegance
The decoration with tiles can also be refined. If you are looking for a more classic look, opt for symmetrical designs, neutral or grey tones. Hydraulic tiles look spectacular in hallways, staircases or corridors, combined with mouldings, glass lamps or period furniture.
Tips for integrating cement tiles
- Less is more: choose one or two key areas to highlight.
- Think long-term: timeless patterns never go out of fashion.
- Coordinate colours: link the tile tones with other textile or decorative elements.
- Go for the real thing: At Mosaics Torra we work with handcrafted pieces, made one by one, with soul.
The cement tiles are much more than a cladding: they are a style statement. If you learn to combining cement tiles with decoration strategically, you will achieve spaces with personality, beauty and an unmistakable touch of renewed tradition.
