Tiles are a practical and pretty choice for use in hallways. It could look amazing in a variety of formats and patterns. As we do not use hallways as areas where we spend a lot of time, we can afford to be creative and use brighter or bolder flooring designs than usual. Choosing a happy medium between pattern and colour in graphic tiles will do the job. Bold patterned tiles work best if they are offset with neutral walls to keep the focus on the floor.

Being inspired by concrete and cement, more and more tile manufacturers release new collections of porcelain tiles with a concrete effect. Those tiles are a cost effective solution for those who love concrete look, but cannot afford finishing all bathroom in micro-cement and real concrete. Concrete effect tiles feature authentic textures and different industrial shades and are perfect for both urban spaces and modern houses.

I couldn't not to stop by Fenella Elms Ceramic's stand at DesignJunction design fair. I thought it was something really creative and unique. Fenella works with clay and creates those wonderful porcelain art pieces. 

Fenella says that Aspects of her past career in mental health continue to influence her work with clay: the subconscious approach, a sense of rhythm, attention to detail and difference. She doesn’t seek to put her experiences into the clay, but marvel at how they emerge.


From the website:
There are 3 ceramic collections: Flows, Edges and Sculptures.

Flows
Mounted for wall hang­ing, these works are in­tu­itively built in porce­lain clay to cre­ate shift­ing per­spec­tives.  In­di­vid­u­ally made beads of clay joined to a sheet of porce­lain with slip be­fore the whole work is fired to­gether to make one, sin­gle piece.  





Edges
Very fine rib­bons of mostly porce­lain clay del­i­cately aligned and joined with slip to cre­ate in­tri­cate struc­tures. After fir­ing, these struc­tures are mounted (in the dif­fer­ent ways il­lus­trated below) for wall hang­ing.



Sculpture
Ribbons of porcelain in a mobius or twisted double helix form with fine porcelain interleaves to build structures that hold light and alter form.

Mosaic is the art of creating images with an assemblage of small pieces of coloured glass, stone, or other materials. Modern mosaics tiles do not necessary create a picture, but they still can work as a good way of adding an interesting twist into your bathroom. You can go absolutely crazy with different variations, but the main point is to know the limit and not to over do it. We like plain and matt finished mosaic tiles, as they do not look old-fashioned and help to create a great modern look.
