Floor Tiles Texture
Making the decision to have tiles on the floors in your home is a good one. Tiles can totally transform a house and they are do not take a lot of maintenance or care. They are easy to clean and will last for many years to come. When deciding on what type of tiles to buy, you will more than likely have a budget. If this is a small budget, then you should consider looking for discounted tiles. Saving money when buying tiles can be done if you follows some hints and tips first.
Textures on the floors can add an immediate design element. Perhaps a textured material or natural stone placed strategically in the center of the floor or as a perimeter band. Running your floor tile on a diagonal or diamond pattern has the effect of making your room look larger. However, expect to pay anywhere from $1.75 extra and more for a diamond pattern per square foot.
Design elements will add to cost as well. As much as $5.00 or more per square foot can be expected. Textures such as tumbled Marble would best be suited on walls. Round Riverbed Stones work well on shower floors and offer somewhat of a therapeutic value. Tumbled Marble or another color of Natural Stone used as a color band if incorporated correctly adds excitement and an "out of the ordinary" point of interest.
