Homes are a refuge, providing shelter and protection and accompanying us at key moments in our lives. Sometimes, however, it can be a big challenge to make the home truly comfortable, particularly during the winter months. When the cold weather draws near, we seek warm surroundings, and to infuse living spaces with a snug, warm feel, it is crucial to choose the right materials. Ceramic tiles play an essential role in transforming the home’s living spaces into pleasant backdrops for whiling away cold winter days.

Tiles are a huge ally in home design thanks to the characteristics and benefits they offer. For instance, they contribute to the thermal comfort of living spaces, given their resistance to temperature changes and moisture and their capacity to conduct heat. Added value is also ensured in different rooms when they are used in radiant heating systems, in walls or floors. It is important to highlight the safety guarantees that they offer since ceramic tiles are fire resistant. Spanish tiles come in a myriad of different looks, in a wide choice of formats, colours, patterns and finishes to help you make your dream home come true

Kitchens: the heart of the home

Kitchens tend to be one of the living spaces where we spend most of our time during our everyday lives, even more so during wintertime. Ceramic tiles are the perfect material for this area of the home where cleanliness is so important, thanks to their easy-to-clean surface and resistance to any disinfectant product. We recommend the use of XXL tiles on both walls and floors in warm beige colours to lend the kitchen a more spacious, yet cosy feel.

A place to wind down

Living rooms are places for spending quality time with the family and for winding down, and so a pleasant, hospitable backdrop is needed. If soft colours such as beige or grey are used, a relaxing atmosphere can be created that inspires a feeling of calm and tranquillity. Wood-effect tiles, conspicuous for their warm, comfortable, natural appeal, can be combined with dark ones to create chic, eye-catching living areas.

Shared enjoyment

Dining rooms are meeting points for socializing and sharing fun moments with friends and family. Ceramic wall and floor tiles can play a fundamental role here. On the one hand, they can be used to mark out dining areas or to integrate them into their surroundings and, on the other, they are perfect for creating unique, elegant, intimate spaces that are comfortable and easy to care for, thanks to the numerous benefits of ceramic materials, such as their low porosity, preventing the formation of surface stains, and their high resistance and fireproof properties, so that they remain unaffected by heat or contact with other elements.

Relaxing corners of the home

Luxuriating in a bubble bath in winter is always a brilliant way to relax and pamper yourself. We recommend stone-effect tiles for the bathroom in shades of beige, grey or even green for settings with a natural appeal, able to inspire a much-needed sense of harmony and tranquillity.

Cosy outdoor areas

Consideration must also be given to terraces and covered outdoor spaces during colder months of the year. Just a few little touches are needed to transform them into the perfect place for winter. Ceramic tiles can play a very important role in making them one of the most popular areas of the home. We recommend tiles in beige or neutral colours, with large formats able to guarantee continuity between indoor and outdoor areas, creating a warm-looking, snug spot, carefully coordinated with surrounding spaces.
