Hydraulic tiles and their endless possibilities

Besides, the beige tones of the pieces (2) create a warm atmosphere and complement the sobriety of the house through colour combinations and the solid composition of this material.
Bathrooms made of stone and ceramic wood
Thought up for relaxing in and getting away from it all, the bathrooms in this house have strengthened the intimacy of its areas with with the ceramic parquet (3). The faded brown in this piece gives the rest of the elements a vintage style, along with greater harmony.
In the second bathroom, the ceramic covering (4) balances and extends the possibilities of the space through its industrial aesthetics. Moreover, it blends in harmoniously with the brownish tone from the wooden effect tiles, creating a colour balance based on the sea breeze.
