Bringing warmth to the bathroom isn’t the easiest of tasks. All of those hard (admittedly easy to clean) surfaces can result in a cold and clinical look.

But according to the experts at independent tile specialists Porcelain Superstore adding textured tiles could be the solution you need to go from clinically cold to cosy chic.

Unlike their brightly coloured or intricately patterned counterparts, textured tiles are often viewed as a more simple tile, but that doesn’t mean their impact should be overlooked.

By their very nature, textured tiles play with natural light, creating infinite tonal varieties across the surface and upping the warmth.

Abbas Youssefi, Director at Porcelain Supestore, said: “Texture is a really smart way of adding interest and personality in what can sometimes be quite a clinical space. Combined with luxe finishes such as mirror effect and marbling, we are seeing a boom in more distressed, tactile tiles.

“Tile designers and manufacturers are adopting more advanced techniques to really push the boundaries and we’re increasingly seeing more collections combining a mixture of textures.”
