Choosing the perfect floor and wall covering depends on several factors, including the desired style, use of the room, budget and personal preferences. Here are some steps to help you make an informed choice:

Define the style: Determine the style or atmosphere you want to create in the room. You can get some ideas of the floors you want from design magazines, online sources or by consulting the Keope configurator (Match App - link). Determine whether you want a modern, rustic, traditional or other look.

Assess the durability: Take into account the durability of the flooring material. Opt for scratch and wear-resistant flooring for high-traffic areas such as hallways or entrances. Conversely, consider more delicate materials for low-traffic areas.

Determine the budget: Set a budget for both the floor and wall coverings, factoring in installation and maintenance costs. There are many options available at varying price points to suit any budget.

Consult a professional: If you're uncertain about your choices and have particular inquiries, don't hesitate to contact a Keope professional. They can offer customised advice based on your needs and budget.

Porcelain stoneware tiles can be laid by a qualified tiler. Follow these steps:

Substrate preparation: Make sure the substrate is flat, dry and devoid of imperfections.

Mortar application: Apply an even layer of mortar with a thickness of approximately 1-2 mm.

Tile placement: Position the tiles on top of the mortar to create an even surface.

Tile fixation: Fix the tiles to the mortar using a rubber mallet.

Joints: Fill the joints between the tiles with a suitable sealant to prevent the formation of mould and bacteria.

The laying direction of wood-effect porcelain stoneware tiles depends on your personal style and preferences. However, there are several prevalent options to consider:

Horizontal laying: This is the most common method of laying wood-effect tiles. The tiles are laid horizontally, creating the appearance of traditional wood flooring. This laying method is versatile and suitable for various spaces, such as living rooms, bedrooms and hallways. 

Diagonal laying: If you want a more interesting and distinctive look, consider laying the tiles in a diagonal direction. In this case, the tiles are placed diagonally on the walls, creating a unique visual effect. This laying method can give the illusion of a larger room and add a touch of originality to the overall design. 

Herringbone laying: This method is very popular and gives an elegant and refined look. Tiles are laid in a herringbone pattern at angles of 45 degrees. This type of laying requires more precision and careful planning but can add a sophisticated design element to your environment.

Interlocking laying: Similar to horizontal laying, but the tiles are interlocked, leaving no gaps in between. This creates a more uniform and smooth appearance without any visual interruptions. It is particularly suitable for modern, minimalist environments.
