PATTERN PLAY

- Leana Schoeman

Having been around for centuries adorning the floors of cathedrals, grand entrance halls and homes, the iconic and seemingly timeless printed tile has also become a prominent floor covering again in recent years.

The traditiona­l tile designs are inspired by organic floral and leaf shapes, rustic curves derived from vintage wrought iron and often reflect geometric influences. Centro Vienna tile, recently launched by leading tile retailer Italtile, is a beautiful and authentic version of this classic decoration. Dusty jewelled tones in blue and stone reflect the iconic geometric patterns that we’ve all learnt to love. This bold versatile pattern is the perfect addition for both floor and wall coverings and is especially effective in larger spaces like entrance halls, kitchens and bathrooms, with the patio area being a particular­ly popular choice as it works really well with indoor plants and it doesn’t need much else with its powerful visual character.
