The latest trends bring spring into the home: original, eclectic furnishings, and floral motifs now back in fashion for floor and wall tiles rather like vintage upholstery and produced in tougher materials, such as porcelain stoneware, which conserves its beauty over time. A profusion of tropical leaves and flowers that fit attractively into any location, from the classical to the contemporary, allowing DIY enthusiasts and interior designers alike to create welcoming, enticing interiors.
Tile collections with floral patterns, like Icons by Pastorelli, transform interiors into gardens and bring all the flamboyance of nature indoors. Ceramics, with their great versatility, return to centre stage with new, more and more decorative, forms of expression, and lightweight, slimline large slabs.
Icons 01 is a truly eye-catching ceramic wall covering. A combination of rich, complex colours, blue and ochre yellow, which bring a vibrant, expressive mood to the places where it is used. It is an ideal decoration for hotel bedrooms, bright bathrooms or any other corner of the home where the imagination can be set free to create surprising, colourful walls. The interlocking leaves form a pattern of light and shade and joyful details. Continuous patterning effects also can be achieved by placing the motif so that it always runs in the same direction.
In the Icons 02 floor and wall tile collection, the floral pattern is in delicate, attractively nostalgic shades, with highlighted, gleaming tone-on-tone leaves and petals. A porcelain stoneware surface with a perfect balance between subtlety and precision in its patterning. The floral motifs seem to take shape before our eyes and fill interiors with a luminous beauty. Walls covered with these ceramic surfaces are resplendent with sweeping flows of flowers that generate an impression of calm and tranquillity.
The Icons 03 large-size tile collection creates a sophisticated, evocative mood with flowers, leaves and fruit, for the design of comfortable interiors in harmony with nature, especially if combined with a wood-look porcelain stoneware floor covering. Beauty and colour in shades of greens and greys remain unchanged over time thanks to the characteristics of porcelain stoneware, making them the essential choice for vertical gardens and cascades of flowers.
These porcelain stoneware tiles are the ideal wall solution for kitchens and bathrooms, because they are immune to steam and damp. For anyone wishing to add personality and dynamism to a bathroom, a floral tile wall covering is an excellent choice. Different decors and colour shades can be adopted, preferably in maxi size, meaning tiles in the large 60x120 size, to provide greater visual continuity and minimise joints.
However, it is not only practical considerations that make porcelain stoneware the ideal wall covering. Having plants in the home can have a very positive impact, and even generate a state of wellbeing and calm. This “magical” effect is called biophilia, a tendency to be emotionally attracted to everything that is alive, full of life and thus natural.
