Ever wondered if wood look gres is good for your interiors? Regardless of the style of your house, you can be sure that gres tiles will be a good match. The Scandinavian style is dominated with natural materials, so wood look tiles are a good idea for flooring all over the house. In a Scandinavian-style interior, light coloured wood look gres tiles will be great, for example in a bleached shade with visible wood grain. For the industrial style, use wide tiles in a grey shade of wood or dark rustic wood as a background for a raw and sparingly finished design. In rooms inspired by the Oriental style, dark wood is indispensable. For a floor, select wood look tiles in a deep brown colour to create impressive designs with exotic colourful accessories. Last but not least, for the simplicity and elegance of the contemporary, big city style, use mono-coloured gres tiles without an explicit wood grain. Here, the larger the tile, the better the floor appearance. This also applies to chevron parquet flooring. It is important that the flooring design is regular. The floor may be light or dark coloured. The colour tone depends on the overall colour concept.
