Creative and Innovative Tips to Re-Design your Home

Most home owners really enjoy and relish an opportunity to give our beloved family homes a well-deserved makeover every once in a while. A home re-design not only gives our home a new lease on life,  it also makes everyone who lives in the house a feeling of renewal, a bit like the feeling one gets from a new haircut or a change in wardrobe.

There are many different ways and many different degrees which one can explore when it comes to doing a home makeover or re-design. From the simplest and most cost effective such as a nice new look  of paint in a completely different colour or shade to what was previously on the walls, to a more in depth type of transformation such as all new tiles in the bathroom, kitchen or exterior space.

Adding wall tiles to a previously bare wall is a great way to add some flare and drama to any design space. Wall tiles can be applied to interior or exterior walls as there are many different types of ceramic tiles available. Some of these types of ceramic tiles are specially designed for specific conditions that are associated with either an interior or an exterior application.

It is also very important to know ahead of time exactly where you would like to apply your new tiles as there are different tiles that are designed to be applied in different areas. Wall tiles are available in many different finishes including glazed and un-glazed,  and there are different types for wet areas, exterior areas and so on.

Floor tiles are highly durable and can be used in both interior and exterior settings. Floor tiles are also available in a wide variety of styles, colours and finishes from rough to smooth. An important tip to remember is to choose a complimentary grouting colour for both your wall tiles as well as your floor tiles to create a strong design statement. Tile care is also an important aspect of installing tiles within your home and a range of tile care products, along with an extensive range of floor and wall tiles and a variety of grouting shades are available from Tiles4All, South Africa’s leading tile and tiling specialist.
