Spending time at home doesn’t have to be dull. Finding ways to connect with family and bring some fun back into your every day is possible when you create spaces for family fun at home. Make time for family game night, or for having a meal together and sharing what happened in everyone’s day. Slow things down and make it more than home for your family with these top tips.



Who doesn’t enjoy having some snacks during a hearty family movie-marathon or binge-watching session? Sometimes things can get out of hand, with cooldrinks getting knocked over or maybe a quick food fight breaking out. Don’t worry, a tiled floor doesn’t stain and is super easy to clean after a fun-filled evening in front of the TV. Besides that, your choice of flooring plays a large role in the overall look and feel of a space. Cement and wood-look tiles are a great foundation for almost any décor style, whilst the revival of terrazzo and the combination of this new classic with other finishes is right on-trend.
If your family is less about watching TV and more about playing games, then the durable and hardwearing finish of tiles is perfect for your home. Choose a hardbody or ceramic tile with a matt finish for floors that look good for years. Move the furniture around and build that fort, push the couch aside for a game of twister or gather round the table for a competitive board game without worrying about scratching or damaging the floor. Keep the glamour of glossy tiles for a quieter space in the home, as heavy foot traffic and scraping chair legs may damage the shiny finish of your tiles over time.



For the family of foodies, who embrace their inner MasterChef and share fabulous meals, blur the lines between kitchen and dining with the same tile throughout for a cohesive look. For a trendy accent, add patterned and print tiles to really make it your own. Black and white, naturals, and shades of blue and green are amongst the most popular choices for these decor tiles, right now.



Outdoor spaces, if you have one, is one of the best ways to enjoy time together. If you have a pool, then a tile with a slip-resistant finish is what you need to create a safe space for your family as they move between outdoors and indoors with wet feet. Choosing the right look for your outdoor spaces is a very personal choice, with realistic wood-look tiles giving all the beauty of a wooden deck without the maintenance, or a classic stone-look or cobblestone design without the difficulties of the uneven edges of a natural stone tile. With so many options to choose from, you can find the right one for easy practical living in your home.


No matter how your family defines fun, tiles are a wonderful option for creating spaces for your family to play and enjoy life together. The flooring in your home can set the tone for the rest of the finishes and for the overall effect, so choosing the right one for your home and how you live in the space is very important. When in doubt, ask for assistance in store to find the perfect tile for your home and family.
