Tile boar: interesting and modern ideas for your interior (24 photos)

This ceramic product got such a funny name for its characteristic technological holes on the back, although in other countries it is known as the "metro". Finishing tiles imitating brickwork unexpectedly became widespread not only in the facade cladding of buildings and metro stations, but also in the interior work of houses and apartments. A neat canvas of perfectly smooth brickwork attracts the eye and at the same time recedes into the background, allowing the rest of the interior to be soloed, which is why ceramic tiles "boar" of neutral or pastel colors are usually used - white, gray, beige. Although lovers of the original decor can opt for red, yellow or black tiles. By balancing the bright colors with calmer ones, you can get an interesting interior that speaks eloquently about the taste and character of the owner.

What is a boar-like tile?

This tile is available in different sizes. The following are considered typical:

• 7.5x15 cm;
• 10x20 cm;
• 15x30 cm.

In addition to various colors, the boar tile is produced glossy, matte, semi-matte. The chamfer option for the volume effect is popular. An interesting effect is produced by tiles imitating natural materials - wood, natural stone, glass.

Often monophonic tiles are diluted with colored inserts - separate tiles with thematic drawings. Tile manufacturers are trying to please fans of different styles and trends in interior fashion. Skillfully selected pattern will emphasize the chosen style and color scheme of the room.

Laying Tile Boar

The technology for laying this tile differs little from the usual:

• the construction level mark the styling;
• tiled glue is applied to the wall and tile;
• crosses are used to align the seams;
• remove them after hardening;
• wipe seams with epoxy grout. It dries quickly, so that excess is immediately cleaned with a rag.

Epoxy grout for boar tiles is great for rooms with high humidity - bathroom or kitchen. It is moisture resistant and does not darken. You can choose grout in tone tiles or contrasting colors.

The layout of the boar tiles is diverse. Traditionally, it is laid apart, like a brick. Putting can be done horizontally, vertically or diagonally. Unusually looks curly styling “labyrinth”. To do this, part of the tile is cut to form squares. When laying, the square is placed in the center, framing with rectangular tiles of standard size, turned in different directions.

When designing high and bottlenecks, this type of laying is uneconomical, since you will have to cut a lot. Such places will look more interesting with a combined laying method, when horizontal rows alternate with vertical ones. The tile laid by a fir-tree looks like an interesting parquet. You can combine different laying methods and tile colors to create ornaments. An experienced designer is able to create, if not a work of art, a real interior decoration from tile bricks.

You need to purchase tiles with a margin, since part will inevitably break or be unevenly cut.

Tile hog in the bathroom interior

This tile is traditionally used to decorate the bathroom.There are several well-established finishes:

• Tiles spread all the walls to the ceiling. Usually choose natural light tones. This option is equally suitable for eco-style, minimalism and hi-tech.
• The tile is laid only around the bathtub, the rest of the walls are painted with a few tones darker or contrasting. This is a classic finish.
• Wall tiles are laid from floor to eye level. Above use paint or waterproof wallpaper.

The one-color tile a boar for a bathroom is easily combined with color. You can use light and dark shades of the same color. The standard solution, which is always modern and looks good, is the transition from the dark bottom to the light top through the curb. The tile for a border usually has an ornament or drawing. The green boar tile in this solution looks stylish and restrained. In addition to the green range, blue, lilac, pastel yellow, and light brown are popular. For a high-tech style bathroom, a black-and-white or gray palette is selected. Fans of bolder color combinations can be recommended to dilute bright shades with neutral ones, for example, red beige, yellow gray.

If the apartment has a separate bathroom, and the toilet has a minimum size, it is advisable to select a tile for it light, small in size. The border or infrequently interspersed tiles with ornaments is quite appropriate.

Tile boar in the kitchen

Ceramic tiles in the kitchen are as familiar and comfortable as in the bathroom. The walls in the kitchen are usually not completely tiled, leaving room for an alternative finish with paint or wallpaper. This gives the room more comfort. But for a kitchen apron, this tile fits perfectly. Choosing different colors and textures, it is possible to achieve that decorating with a boar will be the best solution for a kitchen in any style.

For the design of an apartment in the loft style, the use of this tile will be the best solution. Recall that this style is characterized by the absence of any partitions. The exception is the toilet and shower. The rest of the space, if necessary, is zoned by furniture, stairs or a change of decoration material, so the loft-style kitchen does not differ in a separate design from the whole apartment.

Visually, a kitchen of this style is usually separated by an island or a bar. For their decoration, tiles imitating masonry will be the best style solution.

A wild boar tile apron would also be a good choice.

The size, color and texture of the tiles for the design of the kitchen in the loft style need to be selected, focusing on the design of the entire apartment. This style is characterized by the absence of small details and a minimum of jewelry. The atmosphere is simple, with a touch of brutality. According to the spirit of style, choose a tile. Looks great white tile with craquelures, imitating cracked whitewash on brickwork. In the course of imitation of natural stone, concrete blocks, a tree darkened by time.

Ideas for the interior

In addition to the loft style, the wild boar tile looks organically in other styles. We outline some ready-made ideas for using this tile in different design solutions:

• Art Deco - light tile of noble shades complement with good plumbing and vintage accessories. A symmetrical ornament is appropriate.
• Scandinavian - a white or light tile of a boar of cold tones is adjacent to elegant wallpaper with a small floral pattern. Accessories and jewelry resemble manual blacksmithing or carpentry. Paint wood furniture with white paint that preserves the texture.
• Classic - give preference to a tile with a high facet. Any restrained shades are appropriate. Textiles should perfectly harmonize in color and texture with the tiles. A few jewelry should be carefully chosen. Glossy tiles in this style will be in perfect harmony with the marble countertop.
• Provence - try a chaotic combination of pastel shades of beige, purple and gray for a kitchen apron. You can combine tiles with wallpaper of delicate floral motifs. Coarse linen textiles or cotton matching the wallpaper will do.

Tile boar can be used not only in the bathroom and kitchen. It is decorated with a fireplace zone, wall openings or individual fragments of a wall in an industrial style. It will also be appropriate in the country - in the design of a barbecue area, pool or sauna stove.
