Hello,
we are planning to have tiles installed almost everywhere on the ground floor, which will have a gray stone-concrete look. Now we are unsure whether wooden or laminate baseboards would look better with this, or if a tile baseboard would be more suitable.
When installing tiles with separate baseboards, are the tiles laid with a gap to the wall? Maybe you have some photos of your tiled rooms and can show how you handled this?
Best regards,
Sabine

At least the batch was consistent, so the color matches.

Hello Sabine,
our tiles are from Villeroy & Boch, from the "Lucerna" series, matte gray.
In my opinion, they are not traditionally glazed but protected with a special sealant (I believe it’s called "vilbostone plus").
Overall, they are very durable – one tile has a small chip (someone dropped a heavy glass on it :mad ), but the damage is hardly noticeable since the material is truly dyed through.
Best regards,
Dirk

We are using the same tile throughout the entire house.
- These are lighter tiles (manufacturer Castelvetro, Life series, color Beige),
- The bathroom walls will be tiled in white,
- Interior doors will be finished with a matte white paint,
- The baseboards will be flush with the plaster.
So far, we had planned to cut the baseboards from the floor tile since the top edge wouldn’t be visible due to the flush plaster finish anyway. Now I’m wondering if it might look more subtle/modern/better/whatever to make the baseboards from the white tiles instead?
Has anyone seen this before and can perhaps help me find images online? On the other hand, I’m concerned that it might look too patchy...
