6 Colour block

Move on over feature wallpaper, the humble metro tile can create just as much impact and is a more practical choice for kitchens and bathrooms. Go for complementary shades in alternating bands of colour for a floor-toceiling statement. To enhance the feeling of height, start with darker tones at the bottom, working up to the lightest shade. Sassy wall tiles in Bianco, Beige, Gris Claro, Ivory and Vision, £46.25 per m2, from the Renaissance collection, Craven Dunnill.
