Just want to say that even today, manufacturers and offer finishing materials with the most unusual texture, from imitation of stone to imitation of fabric, it is better to give preference to a simple matte tile of light tones when finishing a kitchen.

A large hall in the house is both the pride of the owner and his special care, as this room can perform a variety of functions - from the place where the guests first meet to the dance floor during a party. They try not to overload the hall space with furniture, so all attention is usually riveted to the floor.

For the hall is perfect beige tile, imitating natural stone - granite, limestone, marble or sandstone. Ceramics imitating marble are suitable for aristocratic interiors, and porcelain stoneware in beige tones is perfectly combined with the design of the room in the “high-tech” style with accessories made of metal and glass.

Light beige, soft and warm colors are able to give comfort to "minimalist" interiors, so beige monochromatic tiles or tiles with geometric patterns will decorate the interior in the style of hi-tech or loft.

New trends in modern fashion - tiles that imitate textiles, tapestry and even velvet texture. For the space of the kitchen or bathroom, this design is not suitable, but for the bedroom - completely.

Beautiful and comfortable loggia - the dream of every owner. To make the balcony feel like an extension of the apartment and become a resting place, consider the possibility of using a warm tiled floor in this small room, put a cozy chair and place floral arrangements. It will be nice to listen to music, read, do some nice hobby.

Economical and elegant option to give comfort to a small, but important space of the loggia - one-color beige ceramic tiles or porcelain tiles, and a small balcony space will look more effective with the most light finish.

Modern finishing materials will withstand severe temperature fluctuations and excessive humidity, but remember about the features of the balcony, because the lighter its design, the easier the finishing material should be. If you doubt the ability of your balcony to withstand a tile or porcelain stoneware, then replace some of the ceramics with PVC tiles, it is much easier.Also on the balcony, it is preferable to use a rough floor finish, the safest for this type of premises.

The choice of cold or warm shades of beige depends on which side your balcony is looking - north or south, and also on whether the shadow of trees or other buildings falls on the balcony. The smaller the sun hits the balcony, the warmer the shade of the finishing material should be.

Well, if the finishing of the loggia will be a "continuation" of the finishing room. In this case, the two rooms will be perceived as a single space.

The beige shades are so delicate and airy, so it is very important that the grout between the tiles does not break the overall harmony. Grouting for wall beige tiles can be either a few tones lighter (milky, almost white), or a few tones darker (coffee or chocolate colors) - this will emphasize the design of the seams and make the finish particularly expressive.

Remember that light interplate joints will often have to be treated with special means and clean them.
