Modern interiors do not have to be minimalist, nor do they have to be dominated by basic colors. Wall and floor tiles are one of those decor elements with which you can completely change its tone. Bring back holiday memories and keep a piece of Spain in your own home.
Modern interiors, known for their conservative form, can surprise and delight with the atmospheric mood of rustic solutions. The coasts of Spain, known for their beautiful beaches and charming towns, also have their rougher, stony face of cliffs, castles and fortifications typical of the Cadiz area, which often become an inspiration for designers.
simple solutions
Rustic accents can be, in their simplicity, close to the classical understanding of beauty and consistent with modern thinking about interiors. The colors of the tiles subtly allude to the spacious and subdued landscape of the coastal area. This, in turn, can be successfully invited not only to the province, but also to the interiors of apartments and houses. To kitchen annexes, open living rooms, studios, bathrooms or balconies. As a stylish breath of warmth and freshness.

Square tiles allow you to create a floor checkerboard with an interesting color melange of colors such as dark ash, gray, beige and cream, and a rough, raw texture. Rectangular will successfully work both on the walls and on the floor - for example, in a brick arrangement using the same format. Or in any arrangement of varying sizes, involving also tiny and narrow tiles.
Gray, white and beige
In addition to floors inspired by the natural landscape, rustic solutions include the furnishings of certain interiors and even the nature of window frames. Tiles will provide a harmonious background for tables and sideboards made of raw wood, as well as for antiques.
It is worth striving for the effect of inspiration, avoiding literalism and imitation. Thinned white, the charm of unpainted boards, elements made of wicker and ceiling constructions made of visible wooden beams - all these solutions will help build a cozy, rustic character of selected interiors. Provided you follow the golden rule: less is more.

What additionally helps to bring out the full charm and potential of the interiors is the light coming from the large windows, and the breeze of fresh air, which even in the urban jungle will remind you of the calm atmosphere of the coast.

Appropriate juxtapositions of calm colors observed also in nature can, like tiles, have both a utilitarian and decorative function. Where at first glance one sees a subdued mélange of brawn, at a second glance one sees a stone composition of rocks passing on steep paths running down the cliff.
The size of the space and decorative restraint will determine whether rustic accents will work in a given interior, without taking anything away from its modernity: fewer colors, fewer accessories and more non-literal, that is, a perfect field for the imagination. All this to wake up in the warmth of southern light and feel the Andalusian ease with your morning coffee.
