Depth in Minimalism: Tile and Stone Selection

Selecting the perfect tile and finish can be quite a challenge, especially when your preference leans toward a sleek, minimalist aesthetic. There's absolutely nothing wrong with opting for minimalistic design, but it's crucial to infuse depth into your space so that it retains a three-dimensional quality, instead of appearing as a plain white canvas. To achieve this, it's essential to introduce texture and color variations in your finishes, tiles, and furniture. For example, if your tiles feature a white, textured surface, consider natural wood-toned cabinets and countertops with distinctive veining. This approach adds depth to the elements within the room. Today, our focus is on exploring tile and stone options for your living spaces.

Natural Porcelain Tile:

To achieve a sense of depth while maintaining simplicity and cleanliness, consider using "Silver thin raked 24”x48” porcelain wall tiles" for your walls and "Bliss Silver Matte 24”x24” Porcelain tiles" for your floors. This combination provides a continuous surface with a subtle texture. To finish your countertops, with travertine or marble slabs. Simplicity can be elevated by applying consistent finishes with a touch of texture, making a significant difference, and adding layers of perfection to the space. This approach creates depth and sophistication.

Travertine Mosaic:

Tiles with intricate patterns can introduce layers and character while preserving a natural ambiance. For a bohemian kitchen style, "Scabos thick rolled Milan travertine mosaic" is an excellent choice for the kitchen walls, and "Scabos tumbled 12x12 travertine paver" can complement white plaster countertops and characterful wood cabinets on the floor.
