Brazilian Brilliance


Portobello
Coming soon to Ultimate Tiles are three amazing new ranges from Portobello in Brazil. These three ranges all offer a point of difference from our current lines and we think they are fantastic! 

The first of these ranges is the Eco Wood series. With six colours and two finishes, this range covers a wide range of timber colours and covers a multitude of different styles, from traditional to contemporary. 

I personally just adore the Eucalypto colour way. It combines beautiful washed neutral tones and gives an amazing base for so many fantastic designs. It would easily compliment French Provincial, Ultra Modern and Urban Contemporary styles and its warmth makes it perfect for use throughout the entire home.

The second range is the Travertino Navona series. This range has two colours in two large format sizes, 600x600 and 600x1200, and mimics the beauty of natural stone slabs. These tiles would make a stunning addition to a naturalistic or minimalistic themed home and tone beautifully with a multitude of different features and furnishings.








Portobello
The third range is the Pietra e Mattoni series. This series introduces five exciting new brick/subway tiles into the range. This series comes in varied colours and textures and has an option for every style. 

These stunning new products will be in our showrooms very shortly so pop by in the near future and check them out!

Urban Groove

homeinteriordesign
Sleek, modern and funky. ‘Urban Contemporary’ is a style which is being used more and more often in new homes and renovations. The style combines stone-like tones, dramatic contrasts and clean defined lines to offer a sleek yet welcoming finish. 

I love that this style allows for a house to really be a home! Whilst the furnishings in this style are minimalistic, this style has plenty of room for personal items such as photos and trinkets, as long as careful consideration is given to their placement. The style also encourages a creative use of available space, using wall units, chunky ottomans and couches that incorporate storage to conceal everyday clutter, keeping your home looking tidy and spacious.

Ultimate Tiles are currently displaying a large array of stone look products that range from budget smaller format tiles, right through to upmarket 800x800 tiles. We also have an amazing array of stone and glass/stone feature mosaics, with just about every colour, size and format catered for.

This is also an area of our range which has frequent new releases. Tiles mimicking natural stone and its drastic variation are becoming more and more popular. Several new releases within this area are indicative of a sway in trends from the traditional ‘brown and cream’ style of neutrals to naturalistic stone-like greys and soft whites, complimented by natural wood or natural looking wood laminates.

Just in Time for the Weekend!


Such a busy week we have had at Ultimate Tiles! We’ve landed a large selection of new ranges which have required some re-arranging and re-assessing of current product line. 

Brasil Lappatto

A favourite for all of our staff is the Brazil Lappatto! A stunning semi-polished tile that comes in 600x600 and 300x600 formats. This charcoal based tile has beautiful red-purple hues and can be described in no other way than ‘completely stunning’, surprisingly too; it doesn’t cost an arm and a leg. 

We’ve also landed a couple of new ranges in the glazed product area. These ranges consist of matching floor and wall options and cover a multitude of colours and styles. The floors come in a 300x300 and 400x400 matt finish or a 400x400 gloss finish, with a 300x400 gloss wall. 

There are two series in this release. One has a mottled, somewhat uniform pattern, while the other is designed to mimic the movement patterns of natural stone. Both of these series are reasonably priced and work well with a variety of different feature products.
