NATURE MEETS METAL

- Top New Tile Looks from Tubs & Tiles

At Tubs &Tiles this year, nature fuses with cutting edge modern as wood, flowers and bright shiny metals inspire some of the most striking new tiles now on display at its showrooms nationwide.

For a truly different and stylish look, check out the unique Metalwood range, from Italian company Casal-grande Padana, new to Ireland and exclusive to Tubs & Tiles. Available for floors and walls, the tile combines the grain of a wood with the fleck and lustre of metal. Colours are black, silver and beige in two large formats - 60cm x 30cm and 90cm x 45cm. Not only is it a unique look that won’t date, the Metalwood range is extremely hardwearing and works equally well in a commercial or domestic setting. Like this year’s fashion catwalks, metallic’s will continue to be a front runner in the style stakes!

Floral decors, running over several large tiles, are really coming into their own this year and the Spanish Taugres collection from Tubs & Tiles. This ceramic tile collection contains some beautiful floral designs, wonderful for features, that creates a contemporary and elegant feel to your bathroom without the expensive price tag. Good examples include the Saten Lila and the Tarim Wenge ranges.

Your need for a bit of bathroom drama can be satisfied with two Spanish tiles: Oxus Negro and Corten for walls and floors, dark, handsome and exciting.
