Norway | Curated Tile Collections for Interior Design Inspiration

Today we feature the Norway Series in our programme of articles exploring the stand-out, principally porcelain ranges that are frequently specified by our professional design practice clients.

RANGE OVERVIEW

The Norway range has a pleasing and playful, pebble-effect and is inspired by ornamental stones found around the lakes of Europe. With such variety of shape and shading within the pronounced patterning, Norway brings interest and individuality to any environment.

The multi-toned tiles in the collection are now available in eight different creative colours spanning rich and warm tints through to cooler combinations. With a wider colour palette available, Norway can be used to create neutral backdrops, as well as defining areas with darker, decorative detail.

The breadth and depth of the range, with a variety of sizes, different surface finishes and both indoor and outdoor specification products, Norway has established itself with housebuilders, developers, interior designers and architects as a solution to so many surface requirements.

COLOURS AND DESIGNS

Within the series, comprising eight creative colourways, five are also available in the Fine design in which the surface pattern is more granular with smaller-sized inclusions:

• Vit – Combines shades of silver and steel.
• Gra – With stony tones of slate and smoke.
• Svart – Comprises coal-like clusters and crystals.
• Melk – Features softer pale shades of off-white and cloudy grey.
• Farge – With flecks of iron oxide and blackened basalt.
• Hav – Mixes pale blues with flinty features.
• Oken – With warmer biscuity beige and brown tones.
• Grus – Graphite and gravel with coral and russet inclusions.
