Winter Warmers

Porcelain Superstore’s Fab Five: Discover The Colours That Will Bring Warmth To The Home This Winter

Gone are the days when tiles were cold and clinical. Today’s beauties are bursting with pattern and colour, and according to the experts at independent tile retailer Porcelain Superstore, they can even be used to make homes feel warmer as the seasons change and temperatures dip.

Abbas Youssefi, Managing Director of Porcelain Superstore, said: “Colour can have a huge impact on how our homes feel. Choosing homewares in the right shades can give homes a more cosy and inviting impression.”

As winter looms, Abbas outlines his top shades that are ideal for taking the chill out of kitchens, bathrooms and living spaces this winter.

Terracotta

Terracotta, in all its rustic glory, channels traditional Mediterranean décor with its earthy tones exuding warmth.

Abbas said: “Terracotta is so much more than a colour. It’s grounding and offers a connection to the earth, reminding us of sun-baked landscapes which will leave winter nothing but a distant memory.”

Abbas suggests pairing terracotta tiles with neutrals to create an inviting space.

Taupe

Homeowners who prefer their colour schemes more on the neutral side need look no further than taupe.

Abbas said: “There is a misconception that neutrals can be cooling but taupe is an incredibly versatile shade that not only works with many other colours but will envelope a space with its gorgeous glow.”

Forest Green

Deep forest green will make any space feel warm and snug, helping to create the cosiest of atmospheres.

Abbas said: “Green is really having a moment right now. Not only does it have a calming energy that a lot of homeowners are craving, it also pairs beautifully with many other shades and finishes.

“Personally, I think forest green works beautifully with wood-effect finishes to bring a touch of biophilic charm to homes and interiors.”

Burgundy

It doesn’t get much more sumptuous than brooding burgundy, and Abbas believes not only can this rich shade add warmth, but luxury too.

“There is a real indulgence when it comes to burgundy interiors. It’s bold, opulent and commands attention. It is perfect for those who want to create a sophisticated, yet welcoming, home.”

Teal

It’s bright and zesty and with its glorious green undertones, teal is perfect for not only giving a room a sense of warmth but interest too.

Abbas said: “Teal has it all. It’s interesting, looks great in any space and will really complement other warming hues such as walnut and mustard yellows. It is ideal for homeowners who love a bold interior scheme.”
