Wood you credit it?

There’s currently a hot interiors trend for feature walls and floors in our homes, using decorative finishes to bring colour and texture.

Think wood, marble, stone or metal to get the latest designer looks in your hallway, bathroom, kitchen or living room.

However, the practicalities of using natural materials can be challenging in terms of access, weight and fixing.

For this reason, alongside their premium stone and marble, Knaresborough-based Lapicida also offer brilliant ‘get the look’ alternatives in their new-generation porcelains. Prices are extremely reasonable, letting decorating budgets stretch farther.

Advancing technology and production techniques have transformed porcelain into a true chameleon. Nowadays it can look – and feel – like anything from natural timber to concrete, mirror, marble, limestone – even antique stone or wood.

Very much on-trend, Lapicida’s wood-effect porcelain range offers the authenticity of genuine wood but with all the practicalities and ease of porcelain.

Thinner, more stable and more durable than real timber, it’s an ideal surface for high traffic areas including kitchens, playrooms, hallways and bathrooms.

The main image shown here showcases the new Chianti collection. Suitable for both indoor and outdoor walls and floors, it comes in textured planks, bringing warmth and character to any space.

Available in four colourways – Castagno, Natural, Quercia and Rovere – Chianti tiles offer all the complex colour gradations of natural wood, making them suitable for both modern and classic settings.

Inspired by the craftmanship of artisan woodwork, the Craftwood collection is ideal for introducing the herringbone floor trend into the home, adding a stylish contemporary touch to interiors.

Handcrafted, Craftwood comes in a choice of four colourways: Natur, Oleum,

Royal and Vapor. Tiles can be mixed and matched to create impressive feature walls and floors.

Finally, the astonishingly naturallooking and feeling ‘Kingswood’ range of porcelain wood replicates the look of sawn timber. Suitable for both indoor and outdoor walls and floors, it comes in planks and also in the Versailles parquet design, with the option of four soft tones.

Lapicida is a Yorkshire company with a strong international reputation. Collaborating with top architects and designers, its traditional artisan stonemasons work alongside technicians operating advanced stone-working equipment in a unique combination.
