Choosing the right tiles for any part of the home can be a daunting affair, particularly for a bathroom, where they cover most visible surfaces. Just as you’d evaluate your options when selecting a kitchen or any kind of costly project, aware that you’ll be living with your choice for a long time, the same logic should apply to selecting the right scheme for the bathroom – this includes the style, the brand, and the supplier.
In this feature, we explore a range of tile collections available from Vella Falzon Home – part of the Vella Falzon Group of companies founded in 1922 which supplies a broad variety of home furnishing products, ranging from flooring and furniture to bathrooms and kitchens – that are functional, hard-wearing and designed to last.
On-trend terrazzo
The demand for terrazzo shows no signs of abating. On the contrary, its application is becoming ever more widespread, from kitchen tops and backsplashes to bathroom walls and floors. This collection, Micra recreates that timeless look in a variety of colours, from olive green to cream and charcoal grey.
Textured walls
The aptly-named Spatula collection brings a textural dimension to a bathroom. Ideal for creating a focal point in a space, whether behind the basin or a free-standing tub, the design makes for an intriguing play of shadows on the wall, while its neutral white colour makes it easy to pair with various other coloured tiles.
Timeless marble
Marble-like ceramics continue to evolve and become nearly indistinguishable in appearance from the real thing. In the Endless collection, five marbles create completely disparate experiences – the elegant white Calacatta Gold and Breccia Capraia marbles, a classic Travertino Navona with a creamy walnut colour, the bold Port Black marble with brown and white tones, and the exotic Amazonite with its earthy green tones.
Neutral tones
Pale and neutral tones that veer on the warm side of the colour spectrum will remain a firm favourite for their ability to defy trends and bring a calming atmosphere to a bathroom. Cream and beige colours dominate the Manhattan collection, capable of complementing other neutral-coloured tiles as well as grounding stronger colours.
Natural wood
The versatility and appeal of wood will never fall out of favour, and yet, natural hardwood flooring is rare to come by within local homes, making wood-effect ceramic tiles a favourable option. The Line Wood collection combines the aesthetic quality of natural timber with the durability of porcelain tiles, achieving that organic aesthetic that’s sought after inside the home while ensuring long-term durability.
Fluid forms
A simple, classic tile that’s devoid of patterns, strong colours or elaborate designs will remain perpetually popular. In short, it’s hard to get fed up of. This collection, Stravaganza – available in white, grey, beige and taupe – is one such example. It introduces a subtle, fluid-like pattern to walls and floors, without overwhelming the space.
