    Modern Tiles Design - Give a Contemporary Appearance to Your Space

    Tiles have a great impact on the look as well as the functionality of the space. Manufactured using the latest technology, the tiles at Orientbell Tiles are durable and long-lasting. The tiles also have great features such as ease of cleaning, minimal maintenance, and low water porosity. Available in a wide variety of materials, these tiles can be used outdoors and indoors in residential as well as commercial settings.

    With the latest tile designs, where creativity knows no bounds, innovation and style converge seamlessly. They can cater to various spaces with a vast range of tiles design options, from floral patterns and geometric to abstract and 3D effects. Whether you're drawn to the elegance of mosaic tiles or the modern allure of monochrome ones, the types of tiles designs available let you choose the one best suited. With a spectrum of colours including multi, white, grey, blue, green and more, you can effortlessly create a space that reflects your unique personality and desires.

    Tiles can be used on both floors and walls, depending upon their properties. As a rule of thumb, all floor tiles can be used on walls, but not all wall tiles can be used on floors. This is because floor tiles require a certain degree of strength and durability to withstand foot traffic, which certain wall tiles do not possess.

    The anti skid tiles, germ-free tiles, and forever tiles are highly popular – thanks to their amazing features. Anti-skid tiles come with a special coating that increases traction and reduces the chances of accidents. Germ-free tiles come with an anti-microbial layer that fights and kills 99% of the germs that come in contact with the surface of the tile. Forever tiles are manufactured using a patent-pending formula that lends the tile extreme strength and makes the surface resistant to all kinds of scratches – you can try to scratch the surface of these tiles with a sharp knife and fail.  Don’t believe us? See for yourself!

    The tiles are also available in almost seven different finishes and each finish comes with its own set of advantages. Matte finish floor tiles can provide a stable surface for you to walk on, while glossy finish tiles can brighten up a dark space. Choose the finish based on your needs.  

    The different designs also make it easy for you to find a tile that works well with your style and theme. You can opt for subtle marble tile floors to add opulence to your space or designer highlighter tiles to add a touch of whimsy to the space.

    How Do I Choose The Right Tile?

    Choosing the right home tiles for space is very important – it can make or break the space. With the sheer variety of tiles available in different materials, finishes, sizes, shapes, colours, and designs, making the right choice might seem like a tall order. But, do not fret; here are some handy tips to keep in mind while choosing tiles for your space:

    1. One Space At A Time:

    You may be renovating a large space with multiple different zones or a small space with a single zone – it is important to zero down on a single zone and choose the tiles for the space. For example, if you are renovating your home don’t try to choose tiles for your living room, bathroom, and kitchen together. Rather, dedicate time to each space and choose the tile for that space before moving on to the next. This is not only because each different space has different requirements that you need to keep in mind, but also to reduce the confusion and commotion in your mind.

    2. Zero In On The Material:

    Once you’ve decided on the space you are looking for tiles for, narrow down your choices by selecting a material. Now, the choice of material will depend on your requirements for the space. Spaces such as kitchens and offices will require more durable materials since they see heavy foot traffic, while in spaces such as bedrooms you can make do with materials that are not as durable.

    3. Size:

    Tile size is a very important factor to consider while choosing tiles. In large spaces, such as living rooms or foyers, opt for large tiles that will have minimal grout lines and will further emphasize the roominess of the space. For small spaces, such as bathrooms, opt for smaller tiles to reduce wastage.

    4. Colour Choice:

    Colours play a great role in dictating the mood of a space. Your colour scheme should reflect the environment that you are trying to create and work well with the colours of the rest of your space, namely furniture and upholstery. It is a good idea to mix things up and use tiles to create a contrast by opting for light tiles to complement darker furniture and vice versa.

    • 20. How Do I Choose The Right Tile?
      • Choosing the right tiles for space is very important – it can make or break the space. With the sheer variety of tiles available in different materials, finishes, sizes, shapes, colours, and designs, making the right choice might seem like a tall order. But, do not fret; here are some handy tips to keep in mind while choosing tiles for your space:
        1. One Space At A Time:

          You may be renovating a large space with multiple different zones or a small space with a single zone – it is important to zero down on a single zone and choose the tiles for the space. For example, if you are renovating your home don’t try to choose tiles for your living room, bathroom, and kitchen together. Rather, dedicate time to each space and choose the tile for that space before moving on to the next. This is not only because each different space has different requirements that you need to keep in mind, but also to reduce the confusion and commotion in your mind.

        2. Zero In On The Material:

          Once you’ve decided on the space you are looking for tiles for, narrow down your choices by selecting a material. Now, the choice of material will depend on your requirements for the space. Spaces such as kitchens and offices will require more durable materials since they see heavy foot traffic, while in spaces such as bedrooms you can make do with materials that are not as durable.

        3. Size:

          Tile size is a very important factor to consider while choosing tiles. In large spaces, such as living rooms or foyers, opt for large tiles that will have minimal grout lines and will further emphasize the roominess of the space. For small spaces, such as bathrooms, opt for smaller tiles to reduce wastage.

        4. Colour Choice:

          Colours play a great role in dictating the mood of a space. Your colour scheme should reflect the environment that you are trying to create and work well with the colours of the rest of your space, namely furniture and upholstery. It is a good idea to mix things up and use tiles to create a contrast by opting for light tiles to complement darker furniture and vice versa.
