Do Large Format Tiles Make a Room Look Bigger?
The short answer is yes! Their large nature means fewer grout lines, which often interrupt the eyeliner across your walls and floors, creating the feel of a cluttered space. Large format tiles minimise these grout lines, offering a seamless scheme throughout the space, further enhancing that feel of expanse.
