We laid such tiles in the hallway and in the kitchen, and no one ever guessed that it was ceramic tiles. And how then everyone is surprised when they learn what the floor is made of. With ceramic tiles under the tree in the house it becomes somehow warm and cozy. But in other rooms, I would not dare to put it, still ceramics. Something else is better, now there is a large selection of floor materials.

I do not really like ceramic tiles, in their classic design. Therefore, I decided to pick up something unusual and interesting for the bathroom. When I came to the store, I darted between various coatings for a long time. As a result, I came across a tile under a tree. I had never heard of such a thing before. In the end, I chose her. And did not regret it. The bathroom looks great, no these annoying squares. Tiles are very easy to clean. And apparently you do not immediately understand that there is not a tree on the floor. Yes ... and more.Under the tiles we installed underfloor heating - very comfortable. I think that in a suitable interior, such tiles will look good both in the living room and in the bedroom.

I remember that from childhood I was terribly annoyed by wallpapers made under the "brick". The same story with tiles "under the tree" - for me, surrogates, materials made one under the other are not acceptable.
The tiles should look like tiles, and the parquet or wood panels should look like wood. But this is my personal opinion.

The first time I hear about this. In our city this is still not there. I would really like this option, I don’t like parquet at all, linoleum looks cheap, but here it’s such beauty.

I would not dare put the tiles in the room, even with wooden coloring, I didn’t dare. But here we have wooden floors everywhere. And somehow I didn’t want to single out the kitchen from the general background. Here such a tile came to the rescue. We took the rest of the wood from laying the floor and went with this sample to the construction market. They were chosen so precisely that no one noticed the differences. And the kitchen became comfortable, and care for such tiles is easy.
