Brick-shaped tiles bring real rhythm to a living room, working just as well as a calm, low maintenance floor as they do as a decorative detail around a fireplace.
Large format brick tiles frame the space and stay low maintenance, suiting both a contemporary living room and a more classic one. Around a fireplace or hearth, smaller brick-shaped, mosaic, or patterned tiles bring texture to the room's natural focal point. Stone effect, wood effect, and large plain porcelain remain the most popular choices for the wider floor, and the same decorative tiles work just as well on a feature wall elsewhere. A herringbone or basket weave layout brings extra movement to a hearth surround, giving it real presence without needing much else in the room to support it.
