Tiles That Talk: How the Living Collection is Redefining Home Interiors
There’s a quiet revolution happening on our walls. As more homeowners look beyond paint and wallpaper for their interiors, decorative tiles are stepping into the spotlight offering a unique blend of function, texture and design. At the heart of this movement is the Living collection by Original Style, a bold range of wall tiles that bridges the gap between practicality and personality.
Unlike traditional tile offerings, the Living range leans into the artistic. It includes everything from soft, botanical motifs and delicate florals to larger mural-style panels and modern geometrics designed not simply to cover a space, but to define it. Where wallpaper might fade or peel, these tiles offer permanence and depth, while still bringing softness and detail to the room.
In many ways, they mark a return to decorative surfaces with purpose. They’re not loud for the sake of trend, but carefully composed to work in kitchens, hallways, bathrooms, or even dining area places where character is often overlooked. And while they can certainly be used to make a statement, they’re equally effective as part of a subtle, coordinated scheme. Matching plain tiles are available, making it easier to create cohesion across zones and maintain a calm visual rhythm.
Freelands Tiles, a long-standing tile specialist in Kent, carries the full Living range alongside other premium names like Ca’ Pietra and Silver Lion. With more than eight decades of shared industry experience behind them, the team at Freelands say there’s been a clear shift in what people are asking for less emphasis on the purely functional, and more on tiles that hold their own as design elements.
Visiting their showroom confirms this. There’s a sense of curatorial intention behind the collections on display. It’s not just about what’s in stock, but how it might live in your home.
As interiors continue to blur the lines between utility and art, collections like Living seem less like a trend and more like a natural next step – tiles that not only hold up to modern living but reflect it too.
