Michelle Nelson (2017) of BYHY University has expressed her views that if you reside in warmer climates, including Sri Lanka, tile floors are the go-to choice. According to Michelle, tile floors keep your home or office cooler in hot weather and this will pave the way for a more comfortable environment for you and your loved ones.
Simona Ganea (2017) has recently published an article that advices home and company decorators to make the floor a focal point in any room, especially in your dining or conference spaces.
In addition, Floor Critics (2018), a group of writers within the flooring industry, has stressed the importance of ensuring the selection of porcelain tiles for your floors as the latest floor tiles were manufactured using modernized technology. As a result, newer porcelain tiles (for example, Italian-made porcelain tiles) comprise higher standards of quality, including more stain-resistant, highly textured, and long-lasting.

Furniture, the paint on your walls, the lighting ambience, and many other factors come in to play when you select floor tiles that best illustrate the elegance of your style and that of your home. The main components that make up your residence and inner rooms with regard to tiles and interior designing can be classified as follows:
- Wall, floor, wallpapers, and paint
- Furniture, equipment, and props
- Miscellaneous factors, including lighting.
What if you have not yet picked out your furniture? If this is the case, our designers advise that the general style and ambience you wish to create should be considered before purchasing your floor tiles.
If your furniture is strictly or largely wooden, including chairs, tables, kitchen counters, cupboards, and beds made out of mahogany, oak, teak, or other wooden materials, Idel Tiles recommend taking a look at our massive collection of wooden effect grade A floor tiles. These tiles are produced from the finest ceramic porcelain available in the mountainous regions of North and Central Italy. Idel Tiles provides free delivery of all types of wood-look floor and wall tiles, including shades of brown, sand, white, maroon, silver, grey, black, and other colour tones of wood.
On the other hand, if you have elegant and luxurious sofas, chandeliers, glass cabinets, and other modern-day furniture, we at Idel Tiles suggest selecting marble floor tiles, including the matte and glossy tile surface models. If you prefer something less opulent, then our granite, cement or stone effect floor tiles from Casalgrande Padana or other Italian designers will be the perfect choice for your home and inner rooms, including your hall, bedroom, study room, television room, kitchen, balcony, as well as residential outdoor spaces.
