‘When it comes to dynamic floor tiles, pick a pattern you truly love as it will be with you for a long time,’ says Emma Deterding, founder and creative director, Kelling Designs. ‘The key is to let the tiles be the main attraction, so pick something that will introduce a pop of colour and pattern, then choose a paint that complements colour tones in the tiles to keep the look cohesive.’ Moroccan encaustic cement pattern 01q floor tiles, £85sq m, Besttile Boutique.
