Five ways to customise surfaces with single-colour tiling

By tiling furniture and other non-traditional areas, a new focus and decorative element can be brought to previously mundane interior elements. Either to complement furniture surfaces with the same colour, pattern and even material as the walls and floors, or to provide an intriguing contrast, tiled furniture presents an opportunity to personalise functionality. Mambo Unlimited Ideas produce a series of tables and sideboards, such as the Caldas range, that incorporate relief tiles to complement any interior style, but a similar effect can be achieved with designers’ own choice of tile, too.

The ceramic-centred concept space, Perfect Darkness, by interior architects H+O Design during Milan Design Week 2019, for example, gave numerous imaginative examples of creatively tiled surfaces including custom-tiled furniture and storage interiors.
