The hallway is your interior's calling card. But not always the cleanest place in the house. We take quite a bit of dirt inside. Especially after a rainy day. How nice is it to have a floor on which you don't see everything? And that you don't have to vacuum daily? Decorative tiles, also known as pattern tiles, are perfect for this. These have a print that always makes the hall look cleaner. 

Turn the hall into an eye-catcher

A hallway is often a small space. This means there is not much space to make it attractive. With a floor, it is possible to make the entrance unforgettable. Consequently, decorative tiles are anything but boring and add value to the room. There are many different types and sizes. As a result, there is always a decorative tile that perfectly suits your needs.

Top 4 decorative tiles in the hall

The tile determines the atmosphere in a room. Below you can see the effect of 4 different types of decorative tiles in the same hallway. This visual representation gives a good idea of the look.

1. 'Grey' is from the Deco series. This patterned tile never gets boring, as there are 9 different patterns in a set. The grey tones create calmness and make this tile not too overpowering.

2. 'Classic black' from the Memory series. This tile has a classic pattern. The colours black and white create a lot of contrast, but the large patterns give the hall a spacious effect. With light walls and a dark floor, the room looks bigger. Incidentally, this tile gives the hall a chic look.

3. 'Retro' is also from the Memory series. Bring a bit of retro into your home with this pattern. This tile is easy to combine in both a modern home and an old one. The pattern gives a strong character to the hallway.

4. The 'Royal blue' tile unifies the room. Besides the colours blue and white, it incorporates a grey shade. This makes the combination with a concrete look in a similar shade perfect. The print has a modest look compared to the other 3. There is less contrast between the colours and it is a continuous pattern incorporated into each other.

Tiling one part of the hallway

You already set the right tone by tiling one section of the hall floor with patterned tiles. These can be quite present in a room. In this hallway makeover, a quiet floor was chosen. This emphasises the decorative tiles.

A classic table was used in the hallway for decoration. The dark brown colour contrasts nicely with the tones of the tiles. And plants always do well in interiors, including in the hall. A houseplant makes this room more homely.
