Creating a Festive Entranceway with Artworks and Victorian Floor Tiles

Your home’s entranceway is the first thing guests see, especially during the festive season, when every detail counts. We believe one of the best ways to set the tone is with a beautiful combination of our tiles – and our cherished Artworks and Victorian Floor Tile ranges are a match made in heaven. Not just for Christmas, this pairing will look fabulous beyond the festive season but with twinkling lights and a hand-twined wreath, there’s simply nothing more magical and enchanting. 

A Porch Wall with Artworks Ochre

Our Artworks Ochre tiles are known for their rich, endearing tones that instantly create a welcoming atmosphere. These tiles boast timeless elegance, with their ochre hue exuding warmth and period charm. The glossy glaze on these tiles reflect light, making any porch area look inviting and stylish.

For a festive twist, imagine these tiles accompanied with seasonal greenery or fairy lights. The deep, earthy tones of the tiles provide the perfect backdrop for festive decorations, whether you're going for a classic Christmas look with wreaths and garlands or a more modern approach with sleek, minimalist lights.

The Timeless Appeal of Victorian Floor Tiles

Nothing says sophistication like a classic Victorian tiled pathway, and our Tenby pattern is a standout. These Victorian Floor Tiles in Black, Dover White, and Revival Grey create a bold, geometric design that’s both timeless and contemporary. The contrast between the black and white tiles adds visual interest, while the Revival Grey softens the overall look, giving it a modern yet vintage charm.

This pattern and colourway works beautifully alongside the Artworks Ochre tiles, creating a seamless transition from your front path to your porch. The monochrome palette of the floor tiles enhances the warmth of the ochre wall, creating a balanced yet striking entranceway.

Styling Tips for the Festive Season

1. Add Seasonal Greenery: A garland of winter foliage draped across the porch or a gorgeous artisanal wreath will stand out beautifully against the wall and floor tiles, creating a natural contrast. You could also add seasonal potted plants to highlight the entrance, keeping the festive feel simple yet effective.
2. Warm Lighting: String lights, lanterns, or even a vintage-style outdoor light fixture will play off the reflective qualities of the Ochre tiles. The warm glow will not only highlight the beauty of these tiles but also create a cosy and welcoming ambiance.
3. Seasonal Rugs or Doormats: A doormat in earthy hues of brown or green will complement the Tenby pattern and provide a soft touch to the geometric design. A festive doormat with subtle winter motifs will enhance the seasonal theme without overshadowing the elegance of the tiles.
4. Festive Accessories: Consider adding subtle seasonal touches such as brass or copper lanterns, which will enhance the warm tones of the ochre tiles, or perhaps a Christmas tree placed by the entrance to amplify the festive spirit.

Lasting Kerb Appeal

While these decorative touches will enhance the festive feel, the real stars are the Artworks and Victorian Floor Tiles. Their timeless beauty and durability ensure that your entranceway will continue to impress, even after the holiday decorations come down. The rich orangey tones and intricate floor pattern will elevate your home’s exterior all year round, providing a chic and sophisticated first impression.

Incorporating these tiles into your porch and pathway is more than just a seasonal update – it’s an investment that will pay off throughout the year. Whether you're welcoming Christmas guests or simply coming home after a long day, this carefully curated combination will make every entrance a joy.
