4. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Are black wall tiles hard to maintain?
Not at all. While glossy black tiles show water spots more easily, matte finishes and textured stones are excellent at hiding dust and streaks. For showers, we recommend non-porous glass or sealed marble.
Do black tiles make a room look smaller?
On the contrary—when used with the right lighting, black tiles add "infinite" depth, making walls appear to recede and actually enlarging the feel of the space.
Can I mix different black materials?
Yes! Mixing matte black stone with polished black glass accents is a popular way to add "texture-on-texture" luxury without overcomplicating the color palette.
