Find the perfect hallway tiles to suit the era of your home, with advice from Emma Hughes at Original Style
Georgian properties often incorporate stonework and spacious hallways with sweeping staircases and elegant floor tiles. So, opting for natural stone, such as limestone, is a great way to add enduring style.
Victorian homes are a defining feature of many towns and cities throughout Britain. Authentic features include stained-glass windows and doors, ornate lighting and striking floor tiles - especially in hallways. Geometric and encaustic tiles allow for the creation of hundreds of patterns and colour combinations, from traditional buffs and reds to more contemporary styles in grey, beige and white. When renovating, many homeowners choose to embrace these characteristics to add authenticity and charm to their homes.
Edwardian properties are renowned for their high ceilings, period cornicing and original fireplaces. When it comes to entryways, geometric floor tiles are still very present. A great way to enhance this décor is with glazed wall tiles in rich tones of blue, green or red – not only will they add beauty, but they’re also practical when it comes to the everyday traffic our hallways face.
Arts and Crafts designs often embraced more pared-back schemes mixed with pattern. The hallway is no exception, with floor tiles usually a combination of neutral colours and intricate patterns.
