Decorative tiles are one of the few design elements that can make a statement, whilst still being functional. From walls to floors, there’s a tile with a design and style that resonates with everyone.

With the influx of decorative tiles in South Africa, the opportunities to transform your home are endless. Decobella is leading the charge locally, offering customers pattern tiles that have just hit shelves (or floors) in African countries. Through extensive travel, research and design; Decobella has brought world-class decorative tile design to local shores.

As a spotlight has been cast on pattern tiles, gone are the days that they are only used as a focal point. Decorative tiles are now being used as complete floor applications for both indoors and outdoors with larger-format patterned tiles being loved by bold and daring designers. 

We sought out the help of a few leaders in the South African Interior Design Industry to get the lowdown on the latest pattern tiles making waves throughout the floors and walls locally:

Moroccan Tiles

Dating back to the 10th century, Moroccan tiles have been transforming and revolutionising interior spaces with their iconic, bold and often colourful, arabesque designs and patterns. Much-loved by Pinterest users, the Moroccan tile can transform any and every space into an exotic retreat. 

Geometric Tiles

“Geometric tiles don’t add to a design, they are the design”, says Stephan Morgan, Co-Founder of Decobella. Created to make a statement, geometric tiles are modern, fun and can add a pop of retro flare to any space. More and more, you’ll see trendy restaurants extending their creativity from the kitchen to the floors and walls by jazzing up their dining areas with eye-catching tile design.

Terrazzo

Deco Terrazzo is steadily gaining steam in the architectural and design community due to giving any interior an artisanal, Mediterranean feel. Due to the timeless beauty and low maintenance of Terrazzo tiles, commercial spaces are opting for this highly polished and modern look.

Unique Shapes

With the ‘personalisation of space’ a leading interior trend for 2021, these tiles allow you to pour your creativity into creating unique, quirky designs. With ten colours in the range, the Rombo diamond-shaped tiles are waiting to be mixed and matched, allowing you full reign to create extraordinary, never-seen-before designs. Decobella’s range brings the fun to tiling and urges South Africans to make bold decisions when uplifting their interior spaces.
