Homeowners have never been more eager to incorporate classic tile designs into modern aesthetics, creating striking effects by mixing smooth surfaces and textural features into unique patterns.

Printing technology has advanced so much that wood, leather, paper and metal textures can now be replicated on slab and plank tiles for an eye-catching effect that adds both depth and interest to any space.

Tiles

If you want to add an eye-catching element to a room, patterned tile will make an impressionful statement. Its tactile quality evokes light, color and shadows to bring artistic vibrancy and dimension to any space.

Art tiles were traditionally produced using three basic methods a century ago: Relief tiles feature designs that look as though they had been hand sculpted from clay by hand; tube-lined or dry cord tiles use subtle lines to separate glazes in a manner similar to cloisonne; while some studios, such as Weaver Tile and Pewabic, produce tiles modeled off originals featuring people planting or harvesting crops, stylized flowers or sensuous curves that would look at home in an Art Nouveau garden.

Modern technology enables you to print photos onto tiles for instant art installations on walls or floors. But even without this modern feature, tiles come in an abundance of colors, shapes and sizes, giving you plenty of creative freedom when it comes to pattern designs.

Flooring

Floor covering is one of the more costly aspects of home remodeling projects and should be seen as an investment, so initial sticker shock shouldn't stop homeowners from selecting an appropriate material that matches their lifestyle, enhances design aesthetic, and increases property values.

Modern floor tile styles at  Moderntiling.ie  offer a range of colors and textures. Textural dimensioning has become an increasingly popular trend that adds depth without jagged edges.

Geometric shapes have become a trend in modern tile design. Herringbone and chevron patterns are popular options that give any space an unmistakably modern aesthetic, often combined with muted color palettes for optimal effects in any space.

Garden Furniture

Garden design has evolved beyond being simply an expanse of grass; now it is more of an outdoor living room requiring thoughtful furnishing and planning. That means finding pieces suitable to withstand Ireland's wet climate while remaining comfortable enough for relaxing with friends or reading.

Rattan furniture can help create an inviting garden lounge area. Combine a rattan sofa or set of chairs with soft cushions in vibrant or earth-tone colors for the ideal relaxing spot.

For smaller spaces, choose stackable chairs that can easily fit in storage when not being used. Ikea's Scarpo chair, for instance, is an attractive outdoor seat made of polypropylene with 20 per cent recycled content that can remain outside year round.
