If you are looking for a bold, contem-porary look for your bathroom or
any other tiled living space, you will be struck by the new ranges of animal inspired tiles from some of the world’s leading and most innovative manufac-turers. Adelaide homeowners now have the opportunity to explore this wild new world that provides a whole new concept in ceramic tiles.
Some of the most stunning new collections are those inspired by the skins of crocodiles and snakes. Crocodile inspired ranges feature different sized and shaped contoured tiles that nevertheless have regular edges and so fit together seamlessly. These reproduce the look
of the armoured scales of a crocodile, in that they form a complex, irregular pattern that is shaped and textured, the concave pattern reflecting light so that the tiles manage to look both smooth and rough at the same time. The effect is most intriguing and eye-catching, and the range of colours means that you can create an ultra-contemporary look (with bright red or black tiles), or one that is adventurous but retains some a sense of more traditional understatement, with a white or cream line.
Snake inspired collections consist of inter-locking, diamond-shaped tiles that form a pattern designed to evoke a serpent’s scales.

The colour range is wide and varied, from simple off-white, through a range of muted greens, to more bright and luminous reds and yellows, meaning that these tiles can be used to enhance any type of design concept and look stunning in bathrooms, kitchens or anywhere in the home.
Adelaide animal lovers also have other types of animal inspired tiles from which to choose, and which use colours and patterns from the natural world in adventurous ways. For instance, there are ranges of luminous tile designs inspired by the animals of Africa, such as zebras, cheetahs, leopards and giraffes. These bold and arresting tiles reproduce in a stylised yet recognisable manner the skin patterns of these animals and the end result is incredibly eye-catching, and can completely transform the look and feel of a room.
