Usually modular tiles come in the natural colours of stone and muted shades of terracotta. Let's have at a few main ones:

White- opens up the space with a fresh vibe.

Beige - creates a warm environment perfect for any room.

Red  - adds intensity and boldness with a rustic touch.

Brown- adds the aged effect  for a traditional, rural setting.

HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT MODULAR TILES FOR YOUR PROJECT?

We have to consider a few aspect when choosing our tiles:

• Living areas and bedrooms - To create a calm, welcoming feel go for beige soft tones.

• Kitchen and hallway - Consider a good anti slip tile in a darker shade of cream, grey or even to avoid too much maintenance.

• Bathrooms- Choose a tile with a bit of texture for safety reasons.

CHOOSE A TILE THAT COMPLEMENTS THE STYLE OF YOUR HOUSE

• Modern interiors - Go for less structure, more minimalist aspect like polished concrete effect tiles in a larger size.

• Classic and Rustic spaces- Any stone or fossil effect tiles will enhance the look of the style.

Lighting and the size of the space

• Small areas - Warm and faded colours make the space larger.

• Large areas - Darker tones outline the setting in an elegant vibe of brown or red.

Grout colours and layout patterns

Use a darker colour grout for a striking contrast or a similar colour for a nice blend in.

Use small sizes or the pattern of 3 tiles for a more intricate look. For an expansive appearance use the format of 4 tiles which will look great in open space areas.

FINAL THOUGHTS AND TIPS:

When you're measuring the space put at least 10% on top for any cuts or future repairs.

Make sure that the tiles are appropriate for the space  to avoid accidents.

Test the tiles in different lighting before you make your final decision.
