Porcelain flooring is an incredibly versatile solution for both your home and garden, allowing you to create a sleek and fashionable design without having to sacrifice on practicality. Although our customers are always impressed by the quality of our porcelain flooring products, they sometimes have trouble envisioning how porcelain flooring would fit into their home. While it may not be the first option which comes to mind when planning a home improvement project, it is likely to be the most hard-wearing and cost-effective of them all, and looks surprisingly impressive in a number of projects outside of the patio and bathroom.
 
If you're considering porcelain flooring but are stuck for ideas, here are a few examples of its multifunctional properties:
 

Clean and Crisp Transitions

Because we supply porcelain flooring for both indoor and outdoor use, our customers are able to create an inviting transition between their indoor and outdoor space. As you can see from the image below, porcelain tiles can be used to co-ordinate the inside of your home with anything from a casual dining space to a driveway, allowing you to extend your creative vision beyond the boundaries of your doors.

Open Plan Harmony

The versatility and easy-to-maintain nature of porcelain flooring also makes it ideal for open plan living, due to the fact that it can create a sense of unity without looking out of place or being impractical for any living situation. It looks just as attractive in a kitchen dining area as it does in a living space, lending a sense of luxury even in small areas.

 Attractive Utility 

Porcelain flooring is ideal for kitchens due to it's stain and slip-resistant qualities, making it safe for the preparation of meals, no matter how messy things get! However, it doesn't have to take on the traditional image of stone flooring, and can be produced in a number of shades and finishes. Take the Driftwood tiles (pictured below) for example, which emulate the notches and patterns of actual wood, proving that you don't have to sacrifice style for functionality.

Quartz Kitchen
 
This kitchen belongs to a customer of ours in Cardiff, and of all the fabulous photographs we've received from clients who chose PrimaPorcelain for their projects, the snaps this person sent us are among the most impressive.
 
We often boast that our porcelain tiles are perfect for the kitchen floor, and this beautiful kitchen is ample proof of that claim. This customer opted for our ever-popular Quartz Twilight tiles, and as we think you'll agree, it was a wonderful choice; the variegated colour gives this space a truly jaw-dropping look.

2015 will soon be over, and so it's time to look forward to the coming year and make some predictions for the trends that will be dominating the world of home design in 2016. Whether you're looking to revamp your home in the new year, or incorporate some subtle changes to give tired decoration a shake up, this list should give you some ideas for adding some on-trend additions to your home.

 

Natural Materials 

Whether it's marble, wood, stone or minerals, these Pinterest-friendly materials are sure to gain even more popularity in 2016. 
 
This minimal clock from MADE is a subtle and chic way to invest in the marble trend, while these stunning Agate coasters from West Elm offer a luxurious yet practical home solution. 
 

Mixed Metals 

While our passion for copper and brass accessories is set to continue in 2016, we should also see a rise in the use of mix metals. This could work by displaying a selection of metal items in a mix-and-match fashion, or by selecting pieces which combine metal touches in their pattern and design.

These copper edge mirrors from Cox & Cox add subtle dimension to a standard mirror, by adding a hint of colour and rounded edges. These metallic vases by Coral and Bone blend a variety of metallic tones to produce a lovely marbled finish.

Brining Nature Indoors

Plants not only work well with the natural material trend, but also add a touch of colour and homeliness to your space. The best part is that they are also good for your health, as they help to improve the quality of the air in your home.
 
modern home planters
 
These planters from Rose and Grey are a great way to display vines, ferns and other plants, while also adding elements of the metallic trend to the design. To display plants on tables, shelves and other units, these geometric planters from Hope and Willow provide a bright, fresh addition to any surface.

The quality and durability of Prima Porcelain's products mean that they lend themselves easily to both indoor and outdoor use, which makes them the ideal choice if you're thinking of unifying a space with matching tiles. This is a great way to give your home a sense of synchronicity, and works particularly well in rooms that directly overlook your garden. With matching tiles, you will be able to achieve a smooth and seamless transition between two spaces, amounting to a sleek and attractive finish.

When considering the creation of a space with matching tiles, it's also important to leave as little a barrier as possible between both areas, which is why we recommend that our customers invest in a set of bi-fold doors if they are looking to achieve this effect. The large glass screens are intended to produce a minimal, clean-cut impact, which avoids a sense of disconnect between your home and garden, resulting in a truly harmonious end product. 
 
If you would like to design and install a space with matching tiles in your home but aren't sure where to start, feel free to call us on 02920 803750 or email info@primaporcelain.co.uk. Our expert staff will be happy to give you advice and guidance for your project, and will even be able to create a 3D Design to give you an accurate, vivid impression of what your design would look like once installed. 
 
To see one of these spaces in the flesh, you could also visit one of our showrooms, which have display installations for our customers to experience!
 
We love hearing back from customers who have put our porcelain tiles to use in their homes and gardens - here's a smattering of the positive feedback we've received recently:
  • Aggie from Surrey gave us full marks after purchasing some of our Belgian Limestone Design tiles (picture above) for her front garden. She commended the "excellent customer service" that she received from our sales team, and noted that our "very high quality" porcelain tiles "look really good" and "go well with greys and blacks".

  • Tina travelled to our Slough showroom from her home in Kent, and she had this to say about her PrimaPorcelain experience: "Really pleased we took the time to travel from Kent to the showroom. We received excellent advice, and [PrimaPorcelain salesperson] Dimitar went above and beyond to ensure that our order arrived in time and that we had ordered sufficient quantities. The communication, from initial enquiry to order to delivery, was spot on; we would definitely return to PrimaPorcelain for our next indoor/outdoor project."

  • One more - here's another glowing review from Mukesh Patel, a customer of ours who lives in Burnham: "I searched high and low for these tiles and luckily found this firm with just the right product for my project. They have an excellent range and, above all, extremely knowledgeable and helpful staff (with lots of patience!) Well recommended!"
If you'd like to follow in the footsteps of these three customers, get in touch now or visit your nearest PrimaPorcelain showroom (we have locations in both Slough and Cardiff). You can also order a free sample of our high-quality porcelain tiles if you'd like to take a closer look.
