10 Ways Quartz Tiles Can Improve Your Home

Quartz tiles really are on trend at the moment and can make a huge difference to your home, both inside and out. They are striking tiles that will not lose their sparkle overtime. Your home will definitely become a talking point for all the right reasons if your guests catch sight of the beautiful, elegancy of the material. If you still need some convincing, here are just 10 ways in which they can make an improvement in your home.

 

 

1. Make your shower beautiful

Quartz tiles work incredibly well in a bathroom. They are completely water resistant, as well as being incredibly durable and tough. They can stand up to the high demands that a bathroom requires, and look incredibly luxurious and modern when used to tile your shower. They will give your shower that extra sparkle that it so desperately needs, and will instantly make your bathroom up to date and on trend. As Quartz tiles are available in a huge array of colours and sizes, you can design your bathroom exactly to your taste.

 

2. Quartz Staircase

Think about the practicality of your projects in the long run. Do not leave something completely inaccessible just because you do not require access to it at that time. Think in the long run; for example, if you are redecorating your bathroom, consider the face that at one time it is likely that you will need to access the pipes in the event of a leak, so ensure that you install a removable panel. Not planning ahead could result in having to re-do perfectly good work a few years down the line.

 

 

3. Improve your kitchen worktop

Aside from their beauty, Quartz tiles are known for their durability and toughness. Unlike a lot of other luxury materials, they do not require regular sealing, and they are incredibly resistant to heat, stains and scratches – everything you need in a kitchen worktop. It is well known for its strength, and will not damage easily, which is useful in the kitchen where you are likely to have a number of heavy objects. It also has antibacterial properties, which mean it does not require any specialist cleaning and care.

 

 

4. Design a Feature Wall

Quartz tiles are available in a huge array of colours. From pure whites, to blacks, turquoise’s and pinks – almost any colour that you can name. As we have previously said, Quartz tiles are absolutely beautiful. They require nothing else, as they really do speak for themselves. The delicate pieces of mirror particles add a delightful shimmer and sparkle to the tiles, and high shine finish really brighten up any room. They are excellent at creating feature walls within your home, as your eye will instantly be drawn to that area. It is a brilliant chance for you to add some colour and luxury into your home.

 

5. You can build a mosaic

Quartz tiles are not only available in one size. There are many different options which mean that you can create truly spectacular masterpieces in your home. If you do not like the idea of having a whole wall in just one colour, why not use Mosaic Quartz tiles and create your own artistic design. Just like all other sizes, mosaics are available in all of the same colours, so you can go as bright and daring as you want.

 

6. Make a small room appear larger

Everybody knows that darker colours will make a room feel smaller, and more dingy. So, if you have a small home, with small rooms, the trick is to make it as light as possible. This does not mean your home has to be boring though. This is far from the truth. Adding quartz tiles will allow you to add a little bit of colour, whilst still opening up your home and making it appear larger. This is due to both the high shine finish and the small pieces of mirrored particles that you will find in our Quartz tiles. If you let as much natural light into your home as possible, this will reflect off of the mirrored pieces and give the illusion of a larger area. Plus, they look absolutely stunning.

 

 

7. Create an on-trend kitchen back splash

Kitchen backsplashes are a truly excellent way to introduce a little bit of colour into your kitchen. Brightly coloured, and eye catching, statement back splashes are bang on-trend this season, and are set to stay that way for some time. You can take this to the next level, by creating this colourful feature with Quartz tiles. The quality, texture and appearance of the tiles, will really make a huge difference to an area of the kitchen that is all too often forgotten about.

 

 

8. Make your living room sparkle

If you are bored with the current décor of your living room, but do not know how to jazz it up, whilst still ensuring it is stylish and elegant, you are in luck. We cannot state enough just how stunning Quartz tiles are and whether you choose to purchase plain tiles, or tiles with mirrored particles in them, their finish alone will make your living room sparkle. They have an incredibly high shine appearance, and this combined with mirror particles does give the impression that the tiles are in fact sparkly. They are a brilliant addition to any room.

 

 

9. Upgrade your monochrome

This is a commonly used phrase when offering advice for amateur DIYers. If you are making something that requires a lot of measurements, make sure that you are one hundred percent certain of these measurements before you cut it. It is very easy to take more off should you need to, but much harder to add more on should you cut it too small. This will result in an ill-fitting unprofessional finish. So, be sure to measure twice before you make any cuttings.

10. Create a Trendy Skirting Board

Quartz is a good choice for skirting on the bottom of walls. The quartz skirting will invariably match the general floor design for a consistent decor. The skirting can be created from tile off-cuts. Not only will it provide a sparkly look but the durability of this material will also prove invaluable, particularly within high traffic areas. With quartz available in a range of colours you can create the trendy design of your choice.
