Lighting plays an important role in interior design, significantly influencing how tiles will appear in a given space. Whether you’re designing a kitchen, bathroom, or living room, understanding the impact of lighting can help you achieve the desired ambiance and aesthetic in your home. 

The appearance of tile color can change depending on the lighting in a room. Natural light from windows or skylights can highlight the true colors and textures of tiles. It changes throughout the day, altering the perception of the tile’s appearance with varying intensity and color temperature. This dynamic lighting can emphasize different aspects of the tile, revealing intricate patterns and nuances. Artificial lighting sources, such as overhead lights or lamps, provide consistent illumination, but can vary in intensity and brightness. The temperature of artificial light can largely affect how a tile looks, so we recommend you take home samples of tile that you like and see how they react to light in the area you desire to install them. Testing your samples at different times of day and under artificial lighting will give you the most accurate idea of how the tile will look once installed. 

Lighting is a powerful design element that will impact how your tiles are perceived in a space.
