Today, a sewing technique called patchwork is very popular: when beautiful blankets are made of colored patches, covers are put on pillows, and much more. Manufacturers of floor tiles use this interesting idea.

Ceramic tiled materials have been used for flooring for a long time, but before that there were not as many patterns and shapes as are available to consumers in Russia now. Such products were more practical than aesthetic. Today, everyone has the opportunity to choose the flooring to any design.

There are different patchwork techniques for interior decoration.

Conventionally, they are divided into the following types:

• Vodevil - complex patterns;
• Vives - great for kitchens, but may look good in different rooms;

• Colea - usually these products are chosen for bathrooms;
• Chic - coating imitating wooden surfaces.

Ceramic tile coatings have one drawback: they do not provide a high degree of thermal insulation for floors. For this reason, where people especially walk on a tile, you need to use a heating system. However, this option is more suitable not for ordinary apartments, but for private houses.

According to the patterns and shapes, the tile patchwork for the floor and walls are the same, but they vary in thickness. If you want to finish the floor, you need to choose the most durable materials. Floor tiled coatings are thicker, they are characterized by increased resistance to various mechanical effects, significant loads.

If we consider the design of ceramic flooring, we can distinguish the following types:

• bright colours;
• textural monochrome products;
• abstract patterns;
• imitations of stone, metal, wooden surfaces.

Now very popular products with patterns. It is worth noting the manufacturer Cicogres. This Spanish company has long been one of the recognized leaders in the market of ceramic products for the floor. The manufacturer from Spain creates designer tiles that combine original ornaments and rich colors. The shades are quite simple, usually they are emphasized with the help of a contrasting combination.

The most popular among consumers is the classic black and white version, as well as yellow and red, green and beige tiles. If white and black are a traditional contrast, then other options do not look quite usual, but it is non-standard color combinations that are the essence of the patchwork.

It is not necessary to choose a ready-made kit for decoration of the room. You can easily create it yourself. It will be necessary to purchase products from one company, but the pictures on them should be different.

If you are going to make a kit with your own hands, you should focus on some recommendations:

• Choose products that are the same format. Their edges must be identical. Tiles should also be the same in terms of surface type, thickness.
• Focus not only on geometric similarity. Materials should be similar to each other with at least one common feature - shade, pattern, style.

Typically, experts in the field of design apply the design in the style of patchwork for country or country style. But the compositions easily fit into modern trends, including minimalism.It is characterized by beige, grayish, white tones.

"Patchwork" cover they make the interior original, expressive, they create an atmosphere of celebration in the room - even if the shades are quite calm. If the style in the room is monochrome, it is neutral, you can choose two- or single-color products for the floor: tiled coatings can overlap with the main palette. Other suitable options are when products differ in ornament, and not in color.

Patchwork - ideal for country music, he very well emphasizes this style. In such rooms there are so many “patchwork” patterns, therefore for such interiors monochrome, multi-color products, various combinations of coatings are suitable.

White and blue shades associated with ease, tenderness. The “airiness” of such a tile will make the interior very beautiful, giving it elegance. This design is well suited for the Mediterranean or classic style.

Selecting the most suitable patchwork materials for a room that does not differ in significant size, you need to follow certain rules:

Properly selected patchwork flooring is a very good option for the interior of the kitchen.

Such tiles can be used in the kitchen for the following purposes:

• To carry out the finishing of the dining area, arrange the work area. With bright tiled materials it is better to combine plain wallpaper.
