A living room grey tile tends to work as a quiet backdrop, letting furniture, art and soft furnishings do the talking, though a deeper charcoal shade can bring plenty of its own drama to the room. Either way, grey is easy to build a scheme around.
Large format grey tiles frame a living space well and suit both contemporary and more classic interiors, all while needing very little upkeep. Around a fireplace or hearth, smaller decorative pieces, mosaic, brick-shaped or patterned, bring texture without overwhelming the room. Stone effect, wood effect and large plain porcelain remain the most popular flooring choices for living rooms, and a grey feature wall is a considered way to echo the same tone elsewhere in the space.
