Azulejo tiles: making the right choice

The azulejos-style tile reproduces the look of classic azulejos to bring freshness to your home. However, the effects and patterns of imitation azulejo tiles have been updated to keep up with current trends. This wide variety in terms of choice means that modern azulejos are suitable for all kinds of decor, from the simplest and most classic, to the most modern and original. Inspired by Portuguese azulejos, Novoceram’s azulejos effect tiles have all the technical properties of porcelain stoneware and are therefore suitable for a wide range of uses. So let the decorations take over your spaces for a surprisingly original touch!

In the past, azulejo tiles covered the facades of houses or the interior walls of many monuments, such as churches and palaces, and this is still the case today.

In this continuity, the azulejo style tile is often used indoors as a covering for kitchen splashbacks or bathroom tiles. The motifs have been revisited, and are being used to great effect in these spaces, adding a warm, dynamic touch. The wall tiles made by Novoceram bring authenticity and uniqueness to your kitchen, bathroom or even your toilet. What’s more, the technical characteristics of faïence azulejos make it particularly suitable for use in wetter areas without risking deterioration. Of course, trends evolve and the designs and colours of azulejo tiles can also embellish the walls of your other interior rooms. In fact, azulejo earthenware brings bold looks to life and gives you the chance to express your personality in your decor.

The tradition and material of traditional Portuguese azulejo tiles have been reinterpreted to create a modern, elegant version. These decorative friezes have stood the test of time and continue to fill our spaces, thanks in no small part to their modern reinvention. Indeed, even the most traditional don’t remain insensitive to the contemporary charm of modern azulejos.

There’s a vast choice of patterns, both coloured and decorated, and all of them go wonderfully with any style of decoration. Depending on the desired aesthetic, azulejo tiles can be used in dabs or as a total look. In the first case, the ceramic azulejos subtly underline the decoration, while the second solution is much bolder.

The range of choices in terms of patterns and decorations is wide and varied. Firstly, some designs are quirky and daring. They plunge you into the history of the last ten centuries by combining subjects that are stylistically far removed from each other, but the result is all the more singular and original. There are also more geometric or classically inspired designs, which on the other hand are imbued with elegance and bring a contemporary touch of softness to your space.

The colours open up a vast field of possibilities and include, in particular, a mix of indigo blue and ecru. Azulejo stoneware tiles in this colour evoke the traditional azulejo colours of cobalt blue and white. This option infuses a Mediterranean atmosphere into your spaces, which are characterised by the warmth and conviviality it brings.

The colours also include ivory with black decorations for a distinguished result. The elegance of this ceramic azulejos transfers to your walls or floors and blends easily with all styles of decoration, from the most classic to the most urban and contemporary, particularly thanks to its more neutral and sober colours.

Besides the aesthetic aspect, Novoceram pays great attention to detail and also applies itself to the replication of the material to the touch. Not only is the aesthetic reproduction faithful, but the tactile sensations of azulejos tiles are reminiscent of those of classic azulejos.

So, all you have to do is let yourself be tempted by modern azulejos… Your interior and exterior walls, or even your indoor floor, are just waiting to be decorated and enhanced with elegance and originality for a result that’s sometimes bold and surprising, sometimes authentic and charming.

<Novoceram has reinvented the Portuguese azulejo tile by modernising it. However, the traditional 20×20 cm format has been retained for greater authenticity.

The azulejos tiles are thus available in a small 20×20 cm format and echo their classic shape. They may be small, but their decorative power is impressive, making them a sure-fire way to liven up any interior. The 20×20 cm tile is therefore back in the spotlight, and gives a different result depending on how it’s used. In fact, it’s possible to use azulejos tiles over an entire surface for a guaranteed original look. In this case, the tiles can even become the basis of your decor thanks to their patterns.

On the other hand, for a more discreet result, modern azulejos can be used in small touches, and this option is perfect for delimiting spaces and giving them more structure. This is particularly true of kitchen splashbacks and bathroom tiles, which can easily be given a new look. In this way, the decorative power of imitation azulejo tiles is brought to the fore and will modernise your room without overloading it.

The azulejo style tile unites the aesthetic appeal of traditional tiles with the many advantages of porcelain stoneware. That’s why it’s the ideal choice for covering walls and floors.

Firstly, azulejo tiles are highly resistant to water and dirt.

First of all, azulejo tiles are highly resistant to water and steam because porcelain stoneware has a virtually zero water absorption rate. This is an important feature, especially in more humid environments such as bathrooms and kitchens. It is therefore possible to embellish your spaces, including those with more stringent requirements, with the original designs of azulejos without any danger or risk of deterioration.

And imitation azulejo tiles are easy to maintain and simple to clean on a daily basis. In fact, only a cloth and very hot clear water are needed to clean azulejo tiles. Stains are easy to remove because they only remain on the surface of the porcelain stoneware thanks to its non-absorbent nature. It is also worth pointing out that porcelain stoneware is hygienic and easy to disinfect.

Finally, Novoceram has always paid close attention to the environment, and its ecological commitment is also reflected in its manufacturing process. No heavy metals such as cadmium, for example, were used in the production of the imitation azulejo tiles.
