White gives a living room a calm, open feel, reflecting light back into the space in a way that helps a smaller room read as considerably bigger than it is.
Large format white 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 decorative tiles, mosaic, or brick-shaped pieces in white 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. White also pairs happily with almost any other colour or material, which makes it an easy, dependable starting point for a wider scheme.
