You don’t always need to add natural stone to make the space feel luxurious and rich. In some cases, tiles can equally play a phenomenal role in making a space look splendor, opulent, and over-the-top! In general, monochromatic bathrooms are timeless and also tend to ooze a touch of serenity and royalty. Tints and tones of neutral hues such as gray, beige, greige, cream, and black tend to make a luxurious statement. You can either play with different shades of the same family or go for an all-in-one theme! Excited to check out some luxurious tiles by Mineral Tiles? Well, have a look below.
