From the quilts and rugs of old, patchwork has long enjoyed its reign as a key look within interior design. But as times and tastes change, the trend for patchwork has evolved with eclectic designs and intricate patterns coming together to form contemporary works of art. While many tile collections offer patchwork designs, the House of British Ceramic is keen to demonstrate how you can create your own style, bringing together tiles from different ranges into one colour palette to design a striking feature wall in the bathroom.
Claire explains: “We are all becoming much more experimental with our wall coverings, bringing the latest trends and designs into our homes. Patchwork is a hot trend that can turn a simple bathroom wall into a stunning centre piece by mixing and matching tiles from a number of different ranges into one eclectic design.”

When creating a patchwork design with tiles, try combining different sizes for maximum impact. If you stay within the parameters of a square shape, you can combine large square tiles with small square formats and even mosaics for visual interest and intrigue.
For this look to work, it’s important to remain within one colour palette to avoid tiles clashing. Monochrome offers a kaleidoscope of different shades from jet black, through to gunmetal, dove grey and off white, all of which work effortlessly together.
Many floor tiles can also be used on walls too, especially if they are ceramic like British Ceramic Tile’s Feature Floors collection.

Bringing a new dimension to rooms, geometric tiles with their simple, clean lines offer a whole host of different design possibilities. The Hex collection from the House of British Ceramic Tile embraces the trend for hexagonal shapes. With an achromatic colour palette, Hex can be used together in sweeping blocks of colour or individually offering maximum design flexibility. Made from porcelain, Hex is suitable for both walls and floors and can be used outdoors as an alternative to traditional decking or flagging.

CUTTING A SHAPE When it comes to tiling walls, it pays to be adventurous. A simple, elegant glass tile can be transformed into a modern, intriguing design using a basket weave pattern. By alternating horizontal and vertical patterns, you can make the tile the hero of the room rather than a supporting artist, allowing the interesting pattern to draw the attention.
Jayne says: “A basket weave design is relatively straightforward with a touch of forward planning. The main factor to consider is being accurate with the layout, both vertically and horizontally, and to ensure the tiles are laid neatly so all lines are sharp and linear. The key to creating a standout design is using a contrasting grout that will show off the pattern.”

FEATURE FLOORS COLLECTION
Tiled floors have stood the test of time. From their early origins thousands of years ago, decorative tiled floors have adorned our homes becoming the goto option when looking at kitchen, bathroom and hallway floor coverings. Patterned tiles in particular have risen in popularity bringing with them a fresh perspective. ALFRED
Look fabulous under foot “If your home is looking a little tired, a new floor can transform your décor from drab to fab. With so many styles and options available, you can make a feature of your floors and create something extra special underfoot whether it’s a period look you’re after or a luxurious marble effect,” says Jayne.
With tiled flooring enjoying its moment in the spotlight, there’s never been a better time to invest in a feature floor. Made using the latest HD inkjet technology, the new Henry and Alfred designs, both part of the Feature Floors collection, offer highly decorative patterns in on-trend tones of grey and beige.

Also available in a grey or beige colourway, use an expanse to create a seamless look from one room to another, or mix and match as Jayne explains:
“Don’t be afraid of mixing plain tiles and feature tiles. You can use plain tiles to surround a pattern in the middle of your floor for maximum effect, all it takes is a little planning.

“Whereas some patterned floor tiles require meticulous planning and measuring up, make life easier by choose a uniform design such as Henry or Alfred. Both motifs create a seamless pattern, allowing you to lay your floor with ease.

Claire comments: “Wherever you stand; be it bold and wacky or more traditional and Victorian in style, there is a pattern out there to suit every design taste. You may even opt for the ‘less is more approach’, using pattern in a discrete way with just a partially patterned tiled floor, or go all out. The choice is yours.”
BERTIE
It’s all about the base
When it comes to creating an impression with your interior design scheme, it’s all about the base and not just those four walls that have traditionally demanded our attention. Increasingly being seen as the ‘fifth wall’, patterned floor tiles in both classic and contemporary designs are making a refreshing return to our homes after years of minimal and concrete style flooring.

PL AY I T C OOL , S TAY W I T H GR E Y Chic and modern, grey has become the modern day magnolia. The hottest neutral to rock the world of interiors, grey offers a multitude of different shades from gunmetal to slate, graphite to pewter and looks set to remain a firm favourite in the world of interior design. Part of the Ted Baker Residence collection from British Ceramic Tile, GeoTile combines a sleek, on-trend grey colour palette with Ted’s favourite geometric prints taken from their menswear collection. With an eclectic mix of 12 different prints, the GeoTile range is made from hardwearing, high specification porcelain, making it ideal for use on wall and floors, both indoors and out. Jayne says: “Offering a neutral, hushed background for brighter accent colours, grey makes for an easy base colour to work with. If using lots of colour isn’t your thing, grey can also offer an understated, contemporary option for walls and floors even when used on it’s own, especially when blending or layering several different shades together to add depth and make an intricate, eye-catching pattern.” Inspired by the Edwardian tiles that lead up the pathways of London’s iconic townhouses, GeoTile is designed to co-ordinate perfectly with British Ceramic Tile’s VersaTile range, meaning you can easily create a feature wall or floor by mixing and matching between collections for a stylish border or rug style effect.
T HE P OW ER OF PAT T ER N Jayne says: “Beautiful patterns and patchwork designs have an incredibly powerful effect when updating the home. They not only help to add depth and substance to a room scheme, they can also create a focal point with a feature wall panel or floor.”

Whether on walls or floors, or through accessories and soft furnishing, texture is a key design element that can truly take any space to the next level adding warmth and a new dimension.” The Ted Baker TacTile family features a 3D-effect texture in grey and a classic matt white, instantly dressing up your walls. While some neutral colour schemes can feel cold and sterile, the combination of TacTile’s bubble-like pattern and delicate colour scheme adds detail and intrigue, hitting the right spot on the texture spectrum.

Omar’s bold blue, buttercup yellow and leaf green tones together with a striking geometric pattern make for a powerful combination that will instantly enliven walls and floors in need of an update and add a sense of personality to any home.
Show-stopping bold & beautiful Jayne says: “Patterned tiles with a strong Middle Eastern design influence are very on trend at the moment. For best results team with plain walls and pick out one of Omar’s central colours with your furnishings and accessories.”
