Few rooms take as much daily punishment as a hallway, and tiling remains one of the few surfaces that copes with it gracefully. At 60cm and above, large tiles bring fewer grout lines and a calmer, more flowing look to the space, while still standing up to boots, paws, and pushchairs without complaint.
This lovely collection is not defined by any single style. Victorian and encaustic-style patterns remain popular for a period property, but checkerboard designs in marble or stone effect, along with plainer large format options, all suit a hallway equally well. A checkerboard floor in particular makes a striking first impression at an entrance, which is no small thing given that a hallway is the very first part of a home a visitor sees. Durability and easy maintenance are the practical reasons tiles remain the standard choice for this room.
