Quartz and tiles

When it comes to a surface solution, you would be hard-pressed to find one that does more than Caesarstone. From kitchen counters and vanities to floors and walls, it can be applied pretty much anywhere thanks to the durable, heat- and stain-resistant quality of its quartz composition. Slabs come in a variety of colourways that will suit any interior, no matter the room. 8 caesarstone.co.za

If you are going the patterned tile route, go big with colour blocking or striking geometrics (especially in a smaller space, where you need to play it smart to make a statement). These ‘Backgammon’ tiles by Popham design prove that monochrome is anything but boring. 8 opiadesign.co.za

unconventionally shaped tiles are a brilliant way of introducing pattern if painted tiles are not your beat. a combination of hexagonal tiles in a mix of tones (or the classic black-and-white) is an easy mosaic-style solution. 8 tileafrica.co.za
