Get the look
New generation materials from Lapicida offer natural style
There’s a hot interiors trend for feature walls and floors in our homes, using decorative finishes to bring colour and texture. Think marble, stone, metal or timber to get the latest designer looks in your hallway, bathrooms, kitchen or living room.
However, the practicalities of using natural materials can sometimes be challenging in terms of access, weight and fixing. For this reason, Harrogate-based Lapicida, world-renowned as tile and stone experts, also offer brilliant ‘get the look’ alternatives in their new-generation porcelains and ceramics.
Prices are extremely reasonable too, letting decorating budgets stretch farther.
These new lookalikes offer the authentic look and texture of everything from timber, stone and marble to cement, metal and decorative tiling. Lightweight but exceptionally durable, many can be used on both walls and floors. Some can even be used outside, reflecting another key lifestyle trend.
As more and more of us open up the backs of our homes, using glass walls and doors to blur the indoor-outdoor divide, a single floor flowing straight through from the house to the terrace is often used as a dramatic design focus.
The main image, to the right, is from the astonishingly natural-looking and feeling Kingswood range of porcelain wood. Suitable for both indoor and outdoor walls and floors, it comes in planks and also in the Versailles parquet design, with a great range of wood colours.
Lapicida’s extensive 2020 Collection has many other lookalike surprises up its sleeve, including the incredibly authentic Glass in four colourways, the contemporary marble-effect tile Jade, and the Mediterranean inspired Tuscan, available in six different colourways. Each is shown here.
A Yorkshire company with a strong international reputation, Lapicida operates from an extraordinary threeacre showroom, garden and workshop complex in Knaresborough, working with top architects and designers as well as individual customers all over the world.
The perfect place to seek inspiration, the showroom displays hundreds of products, indoors and out. Here, too, Lapicida’s traditional artisan stonemasons work alongside technicians operating advanced stone-working equipment.
This melding of bespoke stonemasonry and high-tech process sets Lapicida apart, enabling it to offer bespoke natural stone alongside brilliant porcelains and ceramics for virtually any situation and budget.
