Choosing a flooring option for your living room can be a difficult decision, especially when the options seem unlimited. While most living rooms are typically fitted with wooden flooring, if you are looking for a unique design, you can choose from modern floor tiles models that can completely transform the look of the entire room, turning it into a sophisticated and elegant space.
As with all home décor materials, when choosing a floor tile model, it is important to consider all the furniture and décor elements that will complement the room’s design. It is also important to take into account the room’s dimensions, as this will influence the size of the ceramic tiles. The larger the room, the smaller the ceramic tiles can be. For smaller living rooms, it is recommended to use larger floor tiles, and vice versa.
In general, glossy or matte floor tiles with wooden, stone, or cement designs with geometric or simple patterns are used for living room flooring. These tiles are designed specifically for interior use and are easy to clean and maintain.
Advantages of installing floor tiles in your living room
The elegant appearance of living rooms fitted with floor tiles is an important advantage for anyone who plans to detail the room’s design. To give your home a cohesive look, you can try using the same floor tile model for both the living room and the hallway or kitchen.
Floor tiles are easier to maintain than wooden flooring and are also good heat conductors, making porcelain floor tiles the ideal solution for anyone planning to install underfloor heating. It should be noted that when installing underfloor heating, it is absolutely mandatory to use porcelain floor tiles to withstand the contractions or expansions of the supporting layer and temperature variations to avoid cracked tiles shortly after completing the work.
In terms of tile resistance, porcelain floor tiles are an excellent choice for living rooms, as they are highly resistant to shocks, temperature or humidity changes, wear and tear, and chemical agents, and are recommended for highly trafficked living spaces.
Floor tiles are made from a hygienic material that does not retain impurities. Thus, tiling your living room with ceramic tiles is ideal for families, as well as for living rooms that serve as common spaces or for receiving guests. Ceramic tiles do not retain unpleasant odors or bacteria, and ceramics are hypoallergenic.
In addition, porcelain floor tiles have a greater durability compared to other flooring solutions and are easier to clean, making them ideal for highly trafficked spaces such as living rooms. Another advantage of tiling your living room with floor tiles is that they maintain their quality and appearance over time.
For those who choose to tile their living room with natural stone, it should be noted that this is a more expensive and difficult material to maintain than porcelain floor tiles. Natural stone requires special care and cleaning conditions suitable for maintaining quality over time.
Floor tiles can also be applied to living room walls, accompanied by decorative elements that add uniqueness to the space. Depending on the design and concept chosen for the living room, there are numerous floor tile models that suit any style for every room.
Furthermore, if you want to achieve a unique and original design that tests your creativity, you can choose to combine living room ceramic tiles with decorative elements or mosaics from CESAROM® collections.

They can be found in a variety of colors in the CESAROM® collections and give dimension and personality to the room in which they are applied. Depending on the color of the chosen tiles, spectacular effects can be achieved, whether you choose a monochrome, classic model, or one that combines a range of colors.

Black living room tiles
Black is the color of elegance, and choosing this color for the ceramic tiles in the living room will undoubtedly contribute to creating a sumptuous, sophisticated atmosphere. You can opt for creating a design using glossy or matte ceramic tiles, smooth or textured ones, but regardless of their appearance, the result will undoubtedly be spectacular.
Black floor tiles for the living room are especially suitable in large spaces or in combination with tiles of other colors, as black is a color that can create the impression of diminishing the space of the room. Finally, dark-colored floor tiles are among the trends proposed in 2022 by interior designers.
Rustic living room tiles
If you’d rather go for a classic style with vintage influences, you can choose to decorate your living room with floor tiles that imitate natural stone, combining its appearance with exposed brick. The models of floor tiles for living rooms vary, from smooth ones to textured ones that add dimension to the space. The recommended shades for this type of decoration are the classic, neutral tones of gray and beige, which give the living room a rustic atmosphere, especially when applied to the walls.
Luxury living room tiles
When we think of luxury, we imagine a large space with an elegant look, whose floor is covered with glossy tiles, with large plates. Did we guess it correctly?
The marbled appearance of the tiles from luxury collections perfectly complements sophisticated furniture pieces and elegant decor of large and spacious living rooms. Regardless of the color you choose, you can be sure that the glossy floor tiles from luxury collections will transform any room into a true work of art.
