‘Under the sea, under the sea!’… This year is all about the mysterious and beautiful mermaid. Mermaid colour palettes, shimmering metallics and beach accessories are set to be a huge trend for 2019 however the biggest trend to hit homes this spring is MERMAID TILES that will create an under the sea elegance in any bathroom or kitchen interior. Available in a wide variety of colour schemes these tiles can be accommodated into a plethora of modern and traditional home interiors.
Mermaid tiles are a great way of creating texture and colour in a stylish kitchen interior. For a sleek and streamlined design you could opt for some plain white or black tiles that can compliment or contrast against your worktops and cupboards or choose an alternating monochrome design for added detail. This style of tiles will look great with some coloured or glittered grout to create extra shine and sparkle. A plain white high gloss kitchen can be given a facelift with some bold and brightly coloured mermaid tiles in block or mix and match colours that will create a visual detail around the edge of the worktop or as a splashback area near an oven, hob or sink. A classic dark wood or black wood kitchen can be given an eye-catching designer finish with multifaceted metallic mermaid tiles that change colour in the lights making them perfect for positioning beneath some under cabinet lighting or ceiling spotlights for an elegant and colourful finish.
Lets be honest, mermaid tiles were made for bathroom interiors as that’s where mermaids like to spend most of their time! For a shimmering and enticing finish in a plain white bathroom interior why not include a selection of silver or rose gold metallic mermaid tiles that can be used to subtly accent a main feature wall. These can be teamed with chrome or rose gold taps and accessories for a complimentary interior finish. If you prefer a more opulent interior design then select soft and smoky grey utilities, paint and flooring and include some off white pearlescent tiles around your bath, shower and sink area that will create a shimmering and refined look that is chic and feminine. For a true ‘under the sea’ finish within your bathroom area then include a selection of green and turquoise blue mermaid tiles that can be used in strategic zones around the room and can be teamed with plain blue or mermaid patterned towels, bath mats and accessories. Don’t forget to include some mermaid inspired wall art and accessories for added fun and style.
