Project Overview
In a newly built home in West Ryde, Dream Tile was entrusted with the supply and professional installation of tiles across the living room and bathrooms. The design approach centered around texture, tonal harmony, and spatial performance. Using a well-curated tile palette — Contempo Earth 1200×600mm Matt in communal spaces and Ciment White in bathrooms (in two sizes) — Dream Tile delivered a modern yet enduringly warm interior finish.
Design & Execution
Living & Entry Area
Tile: Contempo Earth – 1200×600mm
Application: Living Room, Hallway
Design Strategy:
- The use of Contempo Earth in a rich, muted clay tone evokes natural warmth, grounding the space with calm elegance.
- The 1200mm long format with tight grout spacing creates expansive visual lines, making the room feel wider and more continuous.
- The advanced matte glaze softly diffuses light, reducing harsh reflections and lending a refined, velvety finish.
Functionality:
- Ideal for high-traffic areas, this tile’s anti-scratch and low-maintenance surface supports daily family use while retaining a premium feel.
- The earth-toned base seamlessly coordinates with timber cabinetry and soft furnishings, enhancing the natural palette.
Bathroom Spaces – Coordinated Floor & Wall Tiling System
Floor Tile: Ciment White – 600×600mm
Wall Tile: Ciment White – 600×1200mm (Horizontally Laid)
Design Strategy:
- A smart two-size system was employed: the 600×600mm floor tile provides traction and precise gradient control for drainage, while 600×1200mm wall tiles maximise verticality and minimise grout interruptions.
- The monochrome cement aesthetic adds a contemporary spa-like ambience, while clean lines bring geometric precision.
- The contrast between the bathroom’s soft cool grey and the warmer living area creates a gentle tonal transition from public to private spaces.
Functionality & Layout Benefits:
- 600×600 floor tiles enhance grip with more grout lines and allow flexible slope creation without excessive cutting.
- 600×1200 wall tiles offer clean alignment with typical shower screen heights, reducing cutting and material waste.
Fewer joints mean lower long-term maintenance and better waterproofing performance.
Results
Design Cohesion & Spatial Intelligence
By strategically combining tile formats and tonalities, the project achieves an intentional visual rhythm — transitioning from warm matte earth tones in the living room to soft, modern cement tones in the bathrooms.
Enhanced Usability
Each material was selected not only for its look but also for how it supports movement, cleaning, and comfort across different use zones — a key part of Dream Tile’s tile-for-purpose philosophy.
Timeless Appeal, Modern Craftsmanship
From living room elegance to bathroom practicality, the result is a home with enduring quality, thoughtful spatial planning, and sensory balance.
Conclusion
This West Ryde project reflects Dream Tile’s commitment to blending materials, function, and design. Through expert curation and precision installation, the home now features surfaces that speak quietly of sophistication — from sun-kissed earth tones in shared areas to the modern calm of minimalist grey in the bathrooms.
