Terracotta is often associated with rustic, Provençal and country house-style interiors. Of course, this type of decoration is not for everyone. With this in mind, Novoceram has decided to reinvent the terracotta effect tile with a modern twist to keep it constantly on trend.
The aesthetic appearance of imitation terracotta tiles is perfectly faithful to classic terracotta. Every detail that characterises terracotta is reproduced on the tiles so realistically that it’s hard to notice any visual differences between the two materials. This fidelity in replication is made possible by the use of cutting-edge technologies that Novoceram employs when making its products.
However, the contemporary reinvention of this effect can be seen in the colours, which are not the traditional orange tones. This range of classic colours, from red to brown, warms up interiors, but is limited in terms of decoration. Novoceram has therefore turned its attention to designing more sober, neutral colours so that terracotta tiles in porcelain stoneware can blend in with all types of space. To find the perfect colours, several natural and coloured earths have been mixed together to achieve a unique and inimitable result. The wide variety of shades includes light or dark, warm or cool tones, giving a certain timelessness to the look of imitation terracotta porcelain stoneware.
Light colours, such as ivory tiles or beige tiles for example, enhance the room’s natural luminosity while finely underlining the decorative elements of the environment. They bring warmth and softness to the space in question. On the other hand, the dark colours of imitation terracotta tiles, often synonymous with power and elegance such as grey tiles, create an atmosphere imbued with modernity and add a certain cachet to the space. Whichever colour of terra cotta-look tile suits you best, they all blend beautifully with different spaces and mix modernity and tradition, contemporary character and rustic style with a harmonious balance.
