Rustic style tiles

The ceramics in this catalog are ideal for decorating rustic-style settings. We will find this type of tile placed in mountain houses or rural areas, but it is a fantastic option for bathroom and kitchen walls in any city.

Types of rustic tiles

Today there are as many types of ceramics as there are tastes, and in this sense many wall tile models could be classified within the group of rustic tiles.

However, in this section we wanted to represent traditional tiles, those small tiles that we used to see in our grandmother's kitchen. Square white tiles, ceramic imitation clay or patterned tiles.

Most of the models of this catalog will be 10x10, 10x20 and 20x20 tiles

Rustic ceramics are often confused with hydraulic tiles, but it has nothing to do with it. Rustic tiles are usually glossy textured. Although they also exist with a matte texture, the tiles of yesteryear used to be shiny, and with these models the aim is to achieve the effect that kitchens and bathrooms had.

Hydraulic tiles, however, will almost always be of matte texture and its mosaics and colors are unmistakable with any other ceramic style.

How to combine rustic tiles for bathrooms

There are 3 ways to combine rustic-style ceramics.

The primer is the same way we do it with modern bathroom tiles. Choosing two colors from the same collection and combining them with each other. What we always recommend is that the lightest coating predominates and placing the most colored tile only on one of the walls to make it stand out. The wall that we usually highlight is the one with the shower.

Another very common alternative in rustic bathrooms is plating the walls at half height and painting the rest< /b>. Many of these collections have special pieces that help us make this transition aesthetically, such as listellos and ceramic mouldings.

Currently we also find bathrooms in which trends are mixed< /b>. It is something similar to the first combination that we proposed but mixing the rustic-style tile with large tiles. Here the most practical thing would be to buy white tiles for the three walls.

Rustic tiles for the kitchen

The walls kitchen appliances are not always covered with ceramic. Some are open spaces in which it would not make sense to cover them with tiles and others are very small and a large part of the walls will be covered by the kitchen furniture. But it is essential to use tiles on the kitchen front.

For this space that barely occupies a few m2, rustic kitchen tiles are a great choice, as long as it goes with the style of your furniture. 

Another style of tile that can be used to decorate the kitchen with a retro air are subway tiles.
