Bold is Beautiful
Bold coloured tiles are an ideal option for adding a pop of personality to your fireplace design.
Some vibrant tiles can be both bright and beautiful and will give your fireplace a more fun and playful feel too. So don’t be afraid to go bold and get creative with your colour choices.
Create Borders
