If the white color of the tile is replaced with a milky shade, the contrast of the coating will not be so sharp. The room, lined with black and cream tiles will look more tender. If a tile in a room is intended as a coating for both walls and floor, it is necessary to distinguish these surfaces with the help of different patterns or textures. For example, the floor can be laid out with rhombuses, and on the walls to imitate brickwork.
