The older the person, the more expensive his toys, says folk wisdom. Children’s passion for drawing often results in a love of design. And also “our whole life is a game.” And now we are standing at the stand in the DIY store, sorting through the construction “tsatskami”, determined to turn our house into a masterpiece.
Today we will talk about the decors of ceramic tiles. Some are sold individually, like exclusive decorations, others per square meter. Expensive and affordable, unusual and versatile. The decors of ceramic tiles and porcelain stoneware are so different that you can get confused when choosing. We decided to sort through all the options on the shelves and show the advantages of different types of decorative inserts so that your game – professional or amateur – is as effective as possible.
Single decorative inserts.
Decors can be independent or assembled into panels. Accent and self-sufficient, single inserts are always sold individually. Often this is a real work of art, to which precious metals are generously added: gold and silver, as well as Italian cut and other materials. Such a tile is not afraid of either time or lack of debilitating care. Spot display of a single decor focuses on the idea, border trim allows you to zone the space. One way or another, independent elements are not used in large areas – in this case, they simply overload the interior.
Decors joining in all sides.
This is the true love of buyers and designers. The reason for the total sympathy lies in the ease of installation – elements of decorative tiles that join in all directions make it easier to lay out. Niches, canvases, multi-directional borders – there are no restrictions for universal decors. As a rule, functional zones are formed with tiles joining in all directions. With the right color selection, it effectively increases the space. The ability to dock both horizontally and vertically expands the possibilities of the designer.
Gradient decorative insert.
Gradient is a separate chapter in the book about decors of ceramic tiles and porcelain stoneware, beautiful, mysterious and very creative. The European trend feels good in Russia, strengthening its positions more and more, finding new forms and incarnations. Gradient decors are a delicate transition of a pattern into the base color of a collection or a smooth transition of one color into another. As a rule, decorative plates of gradient collections consist of two elements – an insert filled with a pattern completely, and an insert partially filled with a pattern.
Panel Decors.
A pattern is applied to the tile-panel in such a way that the plates of one set can be interchanged without compromising the composition. In Russia, you can find huge drawings in 24 and 12 plates, but this option is more of an exception than everyday practice. As a rule, small panels of 3-4 tiles are used in standard apartments, the pattern of which does not overload the interior and organically fits into the small dimensions of bathrooms and living rooms.
The panel should not create a feeling of ripples and punching – for this, the drawing is carefully thought out. The use of perspective takes away from the feeling of repetition of elements and creates additional volume, visually expanding the space. Panel decors fit perfectly into minimalist interiors, as they carry great creative and design potential.
