How to Achieve a Coastal Feel in your Home

What should you consider in order to get a coastal feel for your home?

  1. Coastal color scheme
  2. Choice of décor
  3. Overall styling

In a tropical country like the Philippines, locals are lucky because the beach is relatively close to most places. That doesn’t mean, however, that people would not like to feel the warmth and freshness of the beach right in the comfort of their homes.

In the Philippines, the design of tiles can tremendously help in bringing out the coastal feel in home designs. Pair that with your usual décor and an interesting layout of furniture, and your home can feel like a beach house by the coast of Boracay!

Coastal Color Scheme

Coastal Color Scheme

The most apparent way to create a coastal feel in your home is to use the colors reminiscent of that environment. The coastal retreat is all about the muted yet windswept colors. Play around natural white, stone, pebble grey, and a bit of vibrancy with palm green, refreshing sky blue, and shades of rusty brown.

Make sure to make muted colors the primary color for your design and add accents of vibrancy that can bring life to the whole design. A good tip is to design your walls and floor with either natural white, or grey tones and then add color through your furniture, décor, and other pieces of accents.

For your floor tiles, you can play around with its design. You can keep it simple and choose pure colored ones. However, for an added aesthetic feel, you can choose from our Tropical or Classic collection. The tropical collection has that rustic look while the classic collection gives you the glossy factor. Choose carefully because in the Philippines, the Tiles’ design is vital in making these concepts complete.

Choice of Décor

Choice of DécorFor a coastal feel, you would want to be as simple as you can be while also prioritizing comfort. Choose furniture that is low slung and have clean lines. To further emphasize comfort, get yourself some oversized cushions. This design can transform even the simple task of sitting in your living room into an amazing experience – as if you were sitting down by a seaside lounge.

For any wooden furniture, choose whitewashed wood. This is a classic choice for your coastal abode. You can emulate this on your floor tiles through our Nara Collection, particularly the Moon and Taupe styles. Another tip is to make sure that you use fabrics that add depth and texture to your interior.

From washed, crumpled linens to natural fibers and heavy woven knits, there are a variety of ways to spice up your already cozy coastal design. Wall décor such as paintings and picture frames are also encouraged, though they’re better off with whitewashed frames, or as plain canvasses. Put up giant photos of the ocean or any coastal area for more ambiance. You can also add potted plants to your design!

Overall Styling

Overall StylingTo fully achieve a coastal feel for your home, you have to focus on getting back to nature. Imagine the coasts with its light waves and long sandy beaches. Some beach towels and umbrellas near the coast and at the back some palm leaves and a few small wooden establishments.

Now put the feeling you get there into your home design. The secret here is to keep things simple and comfortable. Your bigger items, the sofas, and tables should be as simple as they can be on their own. Layer them with pillows, rugs, wall art, and a vase of tropical plants. Make sure that most of the décor you use as accents are made of natural material such as woven baskets to add another element of texture.

Then, use stripped carpets or hang stripped beach towels by the walls. We suggest installing tiles from our Chantilly collection to add more muted colors—further helping emphasize the other décor that you add. Add a little more of your personal touch and you can easily end up with a tropical, coastal feel for your home.

Key Takeaway

You don’t need to live by the beach to have a coastal home. With just a few little decorative changes, you’ll be able to transform your home into a coastal retreat that is cozy, refreshing, and aesthetically pleasing. If you are thinking of more ideas to design your home for a coastal feel, visit a Floor Center branch near you and ask about the products that can help you achieve this style!

How to Make Dorms More Stylish

How to Make Dorms More Stylish

How can you make dorms more stylish?

1. Incorporate vivid colors
2. Explore unique patterns
3. Invest in textile pieces
4. Add glamorous luster
5. Find natural-looking features
6. Value warm and cozy designs

 

As an owner of a dorm lodging business, the competition can be pretty tough since there are so many people who have their own dorms just like you. Thus, you need to stand out by finding a niche that will impress students and working adults. The way you can become more unique among the lodging industry is by investing in stylish tile designs in the Philippines for your bathroom.

 

Incorporate vivid colors

Sometimes, the color style you use for your dorm can be the primary reason for its appeal.  Colors might make more students and working adults increase their interest to rent a room simply because it has the ability to lighten up a room. The right type of tile color can make the room look bigger than it really is. This is accomplished by the fact that design fixtures – including tiles – have the ability to absorb natural light and spread it out to the rest of the space.

If you have a hard time choosing a colored tile design in the Philippines, these are great options for you to choose from; the Matte 60×60 M67 Twig or the 30×30 320T.

Invest in textile pieces

Laying rugs in bedrooms has always been a popular interior design idea. For one thing, its fluffy appearance reminds you of comfort and security. It also helps that it feels warm during the cold early mornings and late nights. Consider investing in textile pieces because they pair great with the usual plain floors of dorm rooms.

Invest in Textile Pieces

If you do not want rugs as textile pieces, you can opt for textile tiles instead. A textile tile can be a great bathroom tile idea or for bedrooms because they combine the comfortable appearance of a rug with the stable material of wood flooring. Good thing that there are options like the 40×40 F49 and the 60×60 M81 for you to achieve this look.

Not only do they look good appearance wise, but hardwood floors can also be easy to maintain. They can last for at least 8 years, and stains that fall on them are easy to remove.

Bring Out the Classics

Bring Out the Classics

The history of tile designs easily coincides with the history of architecture and interior design. Thus, some of the oldest tile designs—some dating back 200 years ago—are still relatively famous today because of their timeless appeal.

The most common example of classic tile designs would be the use of the herringbone pattern where tiles are laid out diagonally, in a staggered zigzag. Good news is, some tiles already have this pattern printed on the actual tile surface so no need to manually arrange!

View FC Floor Center’s for reference [30×30] L36 Cobblestone:

Next in line for classic tile designs are the ever lavish borders that pair perfectly with the simplicity of the grid pattern. Place it in your bathroom or in hallways and you’ll feel like you’re in your own Roman abode! It’s amazing how a play on geometry can add more value to designs!

This is the [30×60] QF3601 so you can see how it looks.

Keep it Plain and Simple

In minimalism, plain tiles with neutral colors take their stand as one of the more sophisticated designs in the Philippines. Its simplistic feel just emphasizes everything around it.

This tile design is perfect for anyone that wants to have as much value with as little accents and frills as possible. If you prefer the essence of a black slate, then this design is for you!

For the tile, take a look at this [60×60] AK6004:

Make it Rustic and Refined

Having a rustic design relies heavily on creating a feel of antiquity and relevance. Perfect examples of tiles that showcase this are terracotta and matte tiles with a color. This color should really highlight a bit of the ruggedness in a room. For inspiration, here’s FC Floor Center’s [30X60] I-360:

[30X60] I-360

It might not be as safe as your typical glossy, neutral-toned tiles, but it definitely leaves an impression to the people who’ve seen it!

 

A Play on Mosaics

When it comes to bathrooms, a popular tile design nowadays is to create artworks with mosaic tiles (which are usually made of glass). Remember that glass tiles are more impervious to water (they don’t absorb liquid!) than porcelain; you won’t have to worry about your tiles getting damaged due to moisture!

Most of the time, mosaic tiles are very small and can be put in different patterns depending on your tastes and as accents; make use of this characteristics to create amazing masterpieces all over your bathroom! With that, you won’t settle with a bathroom that feels almost neglected. Instead, you can create a personal space with a quirky personality!

Relish in Uniformity

[60×60] CB6113

Relish in Uniformity

The last tile design idea that will definitely show a semblance of elegance is the use of uniformity. It’s found in minimalist designs as the grid pattern depends on tiles being laid out evenly to stand out. It can be found in classic tile designs, especially those designs that rely on grids, or unique patterns to bring out the best of it!

 

Key Takeaway

In the Philippines, homogenous tiles come in many variants. Each of them is perfect for a specific design for your home! Whether you’re looking for new wall kitchen tiles or bathroom tiles in the Philippines, you’ll probably find that these tiles make them your best option!
