As an indispensable main material for decoration, ceramic tiles control the foundation and tone of the entire home space and determine the final presentation of the home decoration.
However, because they do not pay attention to the matching of ceramic tiles, most people often encounter such problems when decorating: Obviously the designs and colors of ceramic tiles are very beautiful, why do they "overturn" as soon as they are laid at home? That's because you don't know how to match tiles. To this end, today Zhongtaojun will introduce to you two important aspects of ceramic tile matching-color matching and texture matching.
Tile color matching
The colors of ceramic tiles are rich and colorful. Consumers will inevitably be dazzled when purchasing, and they will not know what color they should choose. Once you master these three rules and six tips for tile color matching, you can create a wonderful home space.
1. Three major rules
Rule 1: Home color matching generally follows the rule of "progressive light, medium and deep" or "lowering of dark, medium and light". Usually, the matching method is light on the wall, medium on the ground, and dark furniture, or medium on the wall, dark on the ground, and light furniture. . This kind of matching can make the space more layered and not top-heavy.
Rule 2: You can also use the six-three-unit method for color matching. Among them, the sixth refers to the background color of the wall, floor, and ceiling, which accounts for 60%; the third refers to the main color of the sofa, coffee table, TV cabinet, etc., which accounts for 30%; and the single refers to the decorative color, which can be brighter. Colors are used to decorate the space, usually using various decorations, such as pillows, hanging paintings, etc.
Rule 3: There should not be too many tile colors. Try to limit them to three to four to keep the space clean and neat. In addition, the ceramic tile styles in different spaces should be consistent to prevent the space style from being too fragmented and the overall decoration style being uncoordinated.
2. Six skills
Tip 1: Match dark and light colors, such as black and white, dark gray and light gray, etc. This is one of the more commonly used methods. Pairing two types of tiles with different shades together can create more visual tension and make the space more rhythmic. This color combination is not easy to make mistakes and can easily create calmness. Harmonious space atmosphere.
Tip 2:Similar color combinations, such as yellow and green, red and purple, red and orange, orange and yellow, etc. Colors that are adjacent within a 90-degree angle on the color wheel are collectively called similar colors. In decoration, matching similar colors is the safest and most acceptable way. But it should be noted that when using this method, you cannot choose tiles with higher color saturation.
Tip 3: Match similar colors, such as light yellow and dark yellow, black and gray, etc. Similar colors mainly refer to color relationships in which a single hue changes in brightness and purity to achieve a rich effect. Although it is a very simple color combination, it can make people's eyes brighten if used properly. Using ceramic tiles of the same color to match can achieve a visual extension or expansion effect, making a single color more varied.
Tip 4: Match warm and cool colors, such as red and green, blue and yellow, etc. This matching method is bold and avant-garde. When used properly, it can highlight the fun and fashion of the space. It can not only be matched with the front and back with the help of the wall, but also can be applied to the design of the kitchen, bathroom, etc., such as ceramic tiles, cabinets, and wash basins. Pot matching, etc.
Tip 5: The combination of infinite colors. Black, white, gold, silver and gray are called infinite colors. If you want a simple and error-free method, this is recommended because the Promise color is very versatile and can be matched with any color. Although the method is simple, the results are amazing.
Tip 6: Match contrasting colors, such as red and green, yellow and purple, blue and orange, black and white. Two colors that are 120 degrees to 180 degrees apart on the 24-color hue circle are called contrasting colors. If you don’t like colors that are too contrasty, you can use contrasting colors with less saturation. This combination can be applied to different spaces, from outdoor to indoor, from living room to bedroom to kitchen and dining room.
In the actual decoration process, using only one method may not be able to meet the requirements of most people, because several methods are usually used at the same time. However, it should be noted that the color matching of ceramic tiles must first determine the main color, and then use other colors to match. It is important to avoid matching all colors with equal weight.
Tile texture matching
Tiles include solid color tiles, reticulated tiles, fine-grained tiles, twill tiles, coarse-grained tiles, etc. Solid color tiles only need to consider color matching, while other tiles also need to pay attention to the matching skills of different textures.
1. How to match reticulated tiles
NetThe texture of the tiles is interlaced and dense, and the unevenness is obvious, so try not to spread the tiles throughout the house. Once the tiles are spread throughout the house, the whole home will look very messy, and the comfort will plummet, which can be said to be uncomfortable to spend money on. It is recommended to match the texture with fine-grained bricks or solid-color bricks, or with a small area of coarse-grained bricks and diagonal bricks to highlight the personality of the space.
2. How to match fine-grained bricks
Fine-grained tiles paired with ceramic tiles of the same texture and color will make the space look monotonous, without a sense of hierarchy, and can easily cause visual fatigue. When matched with coarse-grained tiles or reticulated tiles, fine-grained tiles are generally used as matching tiles to set off and contrast.
3. How to match coarse-grained bricks
Rough-grained bricks are generally laid on the ground and the same style is attached to the wall. It is recommended to match with fine-grained bricks and diagonal-grained bricks. When matching coarse-grained tiles with twilled-grained tiles, you need to choose the texture style carefully, as it is easy to overturn.
4. How to match twill bricks
Twill tiles can be used to lay walls and floors. If the texture is not messy, they can also have good results when used as paving throughout the house. Matched with other textured tiles, diagonal main tiles can highlight their decorative effect.
5. How to match straight-grained tiles
The texture of straight-grained bricks is distributed in a straight or nearly straight shape, either vertically or horizontally, with a clear sense of direction. The lines of straight-grained tiles can achieve the extensibility of space. They are versatile and charming, and can be used with ceramic tiles of various textures.
In recent years, many brands have launched ceramic tiles with more complex textures, combining several textures. Generally, ceramic tiles with this kind of texture will be used as the background wall of the space, and are paired with ceramic tiles with non-exaggerated textures, such as fine-grained tiles, reticulated tiles, etc., to create the visual focus of the space.
