There are a number of popular trends for stone effect tiling, and these can each bring a different visual effect, and result, to your property. So which stone effect tiling trend would suit your home? And how can you achieve the best possible results?

What are the different trends for stone effect tiling?

There are a number of different trends when it comes to stone effect tiling. These include:

• Continuous tiling- using stone effect tiles with only a very fine grout line gives the impression of one long continuous, uninterrupted surface. And for walls, especially in the bathroom, this can be incredibly visually effective. Many homeowners opt for a marble effect tile, but this can be just as effective in limestone or slate effect too.
• Shaped tiling- on the other hand, using smaller stone effect tiles in unusual geometric shapes can create a unique effect that really grabs attention. this is more effective for contemporary properties, and can be perfect for hallway floor or wall tiling, or kitchens and bathrooms.
• Textured tiling- another popular trend involves using stone effect tiles that have a natural texture. This makes the tiles more three dimensional and creates visual interest in any space.
