Grace your home with these time-honoured design elements

Gel Cabotaje

Sizing

"For the living room which may extend to the kitchen, large sizes like 600x1200mm and 900x900mm are recommended; go with 300x600mm or 600x600mm for bathrooms, and 200x1200mm timber-look tiles for bedrooms." — Mr Justin Chua, marketing manager, Malford Ceramics

Accents

"Textures and patterns can add depth to a kitchen. For floors, choose stone effect tiles or wood effect tiles featuring variations in tones or veining patterns, which suggest elements of nature. Or play things up with tiles in herringbone or diagonal patterns to add visual interest. Patterned options for the backsplash look good too, such as the popular, timeless subway tiles." — Mr Simon Cheong, business development director, Hafary

Maintenance

"Most tiles can be cleaned with any over-the-counter cleaning solution, although textured surface tiles will be harder to maintain because they tend to trap dirt more. For bathroom walls, go for larger tiles that are easier to maintain because they have fewer grout lines." — Mr Victor Phuah, sales manager, Lian Seng Hin

Bathroom inspo: Scallop tiles

"One of the biggest trending details used on arched doors, curved walls and even furniture, they are more attractive than the standard 30x60cm or 30x30cm options." — Priscilla Tan (@styledbypt), interior stylist
