Planning a space can be overwhelming no matter if youre starting from scratch or reworking what you already have. With so many colours, shapes, materials, and styles to choose from, it can be hard enough to pick what you like, let alone find everything else to go with it. But whatever youre into, there are some pieces that you can keep in your back pocket to fill the gaps or launch a design from. And here they are.
Terrazzo
Speckled and spectacular, the many flecked surface of terrazzo is a treat for the eyes. With chips and freckles both large and small - and colours both calming and bold - theres a terrazzo for every occasion and interior attitude. Offering movement, playfulness, and a hint of organic charm, terrazzo adds warmth, personality, and layers to a space, providing the perfect finishing touch or informing a rooms colour scheme.
White Subway
Plain and simple, a white subway works in more places than it doesnt. Lean into tradition with a bevelled edge, choose rustic comfort with a hand-made look, or pick the classic - whatever you choose youll find a world of design possibilities open up to you. Whether finished with a gloss, satin, or matt glaze, this tile classic will never let you down. Choose a lively wallpaper for a utility, a bold colour for a kitchen, or lean into neutrals for a relaxing bathroom, a white subway will work in every one.
Check
With the ability to seem both undeniably retro and loudly modern, a checkerboard pattern straddles eras with an endless amount of style. A straightforward black and white combo oozes 50s fun, an elegant dark and light marble offers elevation and elegance, and a joyful duo of contrasting or clashing colours fills a space with personality.
Terracotta
A country kitchen, a Mediterranean style living room, an outdoor patio, a cosy bedroom, and a beach bathroom are all perfect spots for a splash of terracotta. Rich, warm, and earthy, the organic texture and comforting shades of terracotta can complete and transform a space, bringing together natural elements and providing strong contrast against both patterns and neutrals.
Matchstick Mosaic
Slim and sleek, matchstick mosaics make even the tiniest of spaces sing. Created for curling around curves, adding texture to walls, and producing visual illusions depending on their orientation, these unique tiles easily offer the flair to fabulously finish a space.
