A hallway sets the tone for the rest of the house, and ceramic gives you plenty of ways to make that first impression count. This is not a Victorian-only collection: alongside encaustic style patterned designs, you will find checkerboard layouts in marble and stone effect, plain large format tiles for a low maintenance finish, and everything between. Ceramic's slightly more decorative, handmade character than porcelain makes it especially good at carrying pattern well.
A checkerboard floor remains one of the most effective ways to make an entrance memorable, and it works whether your home is a period terrace or a new build. If low maintenance matters more than pattern in your hallway, a large format ceramic tile keeps things calm and easy to keep clean underfoot, standing up well to the daily traffic of coats, shoes, and muddy paws that a hallway takes on more than almost any other room.
