Ocean-Inspired Colours

Begin by bringing the colours of the ocean and the summer sun into your interior spaces. Soft blues, sea greens, and sandy neutrals blend beautifully with sunlit shades like warm yellows and vibrant oranges, creating a refreshing, airy feel.

The Piccolo City 100 range from Douglas Jones is perfect for capturing this look, offering a variety of bright colours from light blues and greens to summery oranges and yellows. These 100x100mm tiles are ideal for walls and floors, both wet and dry, making them a superb choice for refreshing your bathroom with sunny accents or creating a lively kitchen backsplash.

Coastal Textures

Texture is essential to achieving a coastal look, so choose materials that reflect the natural elements of the seaside. Smooth glass and subtle sheen tiles can evoke the shimmer of water, while matte stone finishes capture the warmth of sun-soaked sand.

The Punkah range from Douglas Jones, crafted from natural stone, offers six unique textured stone shades in a 260x315mm sheet size. These versatile tiles add depth and character, making them ideal for a feature wall in your living room or a calming, earthy touch in your bathroom, seamlessly blending texture with coastal charm.
