I’m sure you’ll agree when we say the hallway is one of the most forgotten rooms in our home when in fact it may just be one of the most important spaces in your whole home. The hallway is easily one of the most used rooms in any home – we use it as a place to take our shoes and coats off and will walk through it countless times every day. On top of that – it is the one room that most visitors to your home will see!

We’re sure you’ll agree that the kitchen is the heart of the home. In addition to being necessary for the preparation of food, it is also increasingly becoming a social space: a place where family and friends gather to socialise, eat, drink and of course, cook.

Beautiful tiles come in all shapes and sizes, from retro square and metro tiles to more traditional Victorian mosaics and patterned encaustic styles. With so much choice, it can be difficult to decide exactly which tile is right for your project. To help you decide, we’re putting together a series of articles looking at the benefits of different tile styles, starting with five reasons to use large-format tiles in your space!

Starting a renovation can seem like a daunting task – especially when it comes to finding the perfect fixtures and fittings on a tight budget. It can be easy to become disheartened when flicking through interiors magazines and seeing how much a stylish bathroom or kitchen can set you back. But don’t worry! There are tons of ways to achieve a high impact finish on a smaller budget...

Here at the Yorkshire Tile Company, we love nothing more than providing our customers with a huge range of beautiful tile collections to choose from and helping them find the perfect product for their home. That’s why we are always eager to shout about our new tile ranges – and these stunning tiles are no exception!

Over the last year and a half, home improvements and renovations have become a massive consideration for a record number of people as tourism and much of the leisure sector has been intermittently off limits to most of us. As we have been forced to spend more time at home, it is only natural that we have started to pay more attention to the things that we dislike about our homes.

Here at the Yorkshire Tile Company, our sales team are constantly asked about the best ways to style and mix & match our huge variety of tiles for a beautiful and seamless finish and, while we are always here to offer expert advice, we thought we would provide some visual inspiration from some of our past customers.

Here at Yorkshire Tile Company, we love to see all the fantastic ways in which our customers choose to use our products – whether that be for a kitchen floor and splashback refresh or a complete bathroom renovation. So, we were delighted to see how one of our customers, Roxanne (@ourgreyhaven), used our Terrazzo Albert Ivory, Mass Blanco and Stratford AG tiles to transform her bathroom into an Italian-inspired sanctuary.

With Spring sneaking upon us and the nights beginning to get longer and lighter, we are all starting to dream about the day we can spend all of our time back in our gardens – without a care in the world. To set the scene, the sun is shining, and you’ve got your last few months of freedom before the world goes back to normal. You step outside onto your brand-new Terrazzo Albert Earth patio and simply stand and take it all in. You look around your house and see the fresh new tiles that have just been fitted and know that your mind is at peace.

Another year has come to an end which can mean only one thing, Pantone has finally announced what it thinks will be the colour to represent the year ahead! After such a tough year, we are delighted to see that Pantone has selected a bright and uplifting tone as its 2021 Colour of the Year - PANTONE 13-0647 Illuminating.

This sunny, feel-good colour has been matched with the more grounding PANTONE 17-5104 Ultimate Gray to make for a contrasting palette to embody 2021’s upcoming trends. These two colours demonstrate perfectly how two strikingly different hues can come together to enhance one another and create a simultaneous feeling of solidity and optimism.
