What's your style? Tile Edition

  • Design Inpsiration

The tile selections that you make for your home can be a big decision that you have to make in the home building process. They present a great opportunity to bring the vision for your home to life and while there are so many different types of tiles you can choose from, the decision making doesn't stop there. You also need to consider the lay of your tiles, as well as the grout and then contemplate how these selections will combine with the other finishes in your home such as tapware and cabinetry. But don’t get too overwhelmed.

Places like Beaumont Tiles have some amazing studios that you can visit and explore the different tile options on offer to get a sense of how certain selections will look together. And if you are building a home from our Habitat Range then you will work directly with one of our skilled Interior Designers as they will step you through the whole process, all while making recommendations based on your ideas and style, and the overall look that you are going for your home.
