In this blog we will be taking inspiration and talking about the latest tile trend which is the stone look tile. Modern rustic interiors beautifully reflect today’s trends, with raw and natural finishes, a cozy environment, and minimalist designs.

This year and the coming year have been and will be all about bringing the outside indoor. Natural materials and finishes, as well as greeneries and plants, open and airy surfaces, organic shapes, and natural materials and finishes, can inspire a very natural feel to the entire space.

Stone look tiles because of their incredibly real stone effect look, earthly colors, different texture, shapes and sizes are ideal for achieving this rustic look. Also included are some suggestions for selecting the appropriate tiles for floors and walls. Allow yourself to be inspired!

Stone look tiles

When it comes to flooring, stoneware tiles are without a doubt the most practical and convenient alternative. Stone effect tiles are one of the greatest choices for a very natural and rustic vibe. In any case, not all stone-effect tiles will work in a modern rustic setting. A palette that consists of a lot of shades that bring back the natural vibrations of the earth. Natural ceramic tiles brings a modern bend to the typical materials. When picking a stone-look tile for the flooring, we recommend going with a warm and natural color, a large size format, and a mat finish with a realistic impression.

Adding texture with wabi-sabi effect

Texture is undoubtedly one of the most popular themes this year and one of the defining characteristics of a modern rustic interior. In fact, this style is more about experimenting with textures than it is about decorating with colors. You can choose finishes like lime wash paint and chalk paint, and also wall coverings with a natural stone look, to give the walls a tactile twist.

Adding texture, in any instance, is a terrific way to draw attention to a space and give it personality. Embracing the wabi-sabi style of finding beauty in imperfect and raw surfaces.

Use different texture, sizes and colors

To achieve a great rustic design with a modern twist, focus on materials and textures rather than colors and patterns. Another advantage of using tiles is that you can mix and match different sizes and formats while keeping the same color and finish.

For example, create a low cladding with brick-size tiles, or use a different and smaller format only on particular areas of the wall

Sense of continuity between interior and outdoor spaces.

Last but not least, don’t forget about the outdoors! Creating continuity between inside and out is essential for a beautiful rustic vibe, or a cottage core feel. And one easy and effective way to accomplish it is to use the same floor finish indoors and out.

However, most flooring materials are not ideal for outdoor use; however, you can do so with some tiles. Such as Porcelain and Ceramic, as long as they have corrected edges and an anti-slip surface. Also, in addition to this outdoor tile should be thicker than indoor tiles to ensure greater load resistance.
