Turn a fireplace into a stunning focal point by choosing the perfect tiles. As the nights draw in, thoughts turn to cosying up for winter and nothing encourages snuggling up more than a beautiful fireplace.
Tiles are a hugely important element of fireplace design. There are no real rules about how far you go with tiling, so you can turn an entire wall into a tiled feature and have the fireplace nestling in the middle. You can tile a hearth that comes further into the room than you might expect or you can even tile a corner to create a striking look.
When choosing tiles for a fireplace ensure those you have in mind are suitable for fireplaces and hearths since heat can cause cracks, melt adhesives, and damage glazes, while smoke can discolour tiles. Even suitable tiles should be kept a minimum of 30cm away from direct contact with flames or the main heat source.
