Porcelain surfaces underlining contrasts and combinations
One way of customising spaces is through contrasts in colour and style in very different items of décor: floors and walls covered with Porcelaingres porcelain tiles have the versatility to suit any space, underlining details and atmospheres
The vast range of home decorating ideas increasingly centres around contrasts between warm and cold colours and juxtaposition of different styles, achieved without inflating project costs by skilfully arranging a few simple objects and items of décor. In the spotlight or hidden, these complementary elements can easily become the focus of attention, underlining details in the home and making viewers curious, bringing to mind personal associations with particular people, places and moments from the past. What we are seeing these days is a time of experimentation with different lifestyles, bringing together very different items such as a vintage coffee table, a fragment of industrial design, a Baroque decoration and an exotic souvenir.
All these items can be put together without difficulty to add interest and variety to a room, with contrasts in colour and shape underlining their strengths (heavy vs. light, simple vs. refined, innovative vs. traditional, and so on). Surfaces play a very important role when objects are arranged in this highly personal way, as is evident in the many rooms decorated with porcelain tiles made by Porcelaingres. The power of contrasts in contemporary living is particularly visible in spaces decorated with Just Grey and Just Cementi, porcelain tile collections in neutral hues in which Porcelaingres explores the vast potential of grey. In a multitude of different hues ranging from Black to White (Just Cementi) and from Super Black to Super White, including Mid Grey (Just Grey), grey is a colour with a particular power of attraction rooted in its many variants and sophisticated contemporary appearance, to the point that it may be considered "never really grey".
Offering architects and designers a colour palette of chiaroscuro hues, both Just Grey and Just Cementi add versatility to all kinds of spaces, both residential and commercial. The latest applications may be found in them and completed with the interior decoration style considered most appropriate, confident that the surfaces will not alter or predominate over their overall appearance and details. Just Grey and Just Cementi porcelain tiles offer a whole series of highly contemporary atmospheres, maintaining all their charm unaltered, whether in the context of a “city-life-style” loft or a bathroom in a dream holiday resort (such as Kandolhu Island resort): an atmosphere than can be reproduced in spas, beauty farms and wellness centres.
