Beige Tiles

About

Beige Tiles Buying Guide Beige tiles are the warm end of the neutral family, covering cream, ivory, sand, taupe and stone tones. This collection holds travertine-look, limestone-look and terrazzo-look porcelain, matte porcelain, finger mosaics, cobblestone tiles, tumbled natural travertine and handmade-look bejmat. It suits bathrooms, kitchens, living areas and outdoor spaces that call for a calm, natural look. Do beige tiles look dated? Not when the tone and finish are current. Glossy pinkish beige can look dated, but matte, stone-like beiges such as travertine and limestone looks read as natural and timeless. Pairing them with timber, linen-white walls and brushed metal tapware keeps them fresh. Large formats such as 600 x 600mm, with fewer grout lines, also give beige floors a calm, modern finish. How do I choose the right beige undertone? Look at the undertone beside your other materials. Yellow or golden beiges suit warm timber and brass. Pinkish beiges suit terracotta and blush tones. Greige and taupe, such as the Olivia Taupe, sit closer to grey and suit cooler stone and white joinery. View samples in the room's own light. What is travertine-look porcelain? It is porcelain printed and textured to look like travertine stone, without the sealing and upkeep of natural stone. The Ardenne Beige travertine look is rated P4 in 600 x 600mm and 300 x 600mm, and the Avorio Cream travertine look is a matte porcelain. For genuine stone, the tumbled natural beige travertine subway is 50 x 200mm. Can beige tiles be used outdoors? Yes, if rated for outdoor use. The Avedon Beige limestone look outdoor tile and the Southside Beige terrazzo external tile are rated P5 at 600 x 600mm, which suits patios, alfresco areas and pool surrounds. Their P3 indoor versions let you continue the same look inside, so a living room and alfresco can read as one space. The Beige Settlers cobble stone, at 150 x 150mm, adds a rustic, cobbled look; check its slip and area lines before using it out
