It just depends on what colours/finishes/textures you bring to it. The styles in the examples below may not necessarily be your thing but you can see how the lighter colours can warm up a room :

Some lovely soft and textured rugs will also help to lend warmth and 'softness' to a room. Re: Colour Selection (Black tiles ?) 6Feb 07, 2009 12:10 pm MMMM wont black make it look small ?
i hope you figure it out John, Tarin and the Kids Built and moving in to the Regent Grande with Masterton homes http://thebrownsaremovingtothecountry.blogspot.com Re: Colour Selection (Black tiles ?) 7Feb 07, 2009 12:13 pm Hi,
We were going to have dark grey/black tiles as well but have now decided to go a light grey tile. I just thought that the black would make the room seem closed in and suffocating but a lighter grey will open the room up to give it a more spacious feel. A light grey tile will still match your black furniture.

Beige tiles don't limit you to brown and beige furniture at all. We had beige tiles in our old house, and had navy couches and navy upholstered dining chairs, with warm timber dining table, buffet, coffee table and TV unit. We added accents in gold and teal and it was lovely. You could have reds and oranges, cool greens, pretty much whatever you like. The black pieces shouldn't look odd if you tie them in with maybe a few black cushions scattered around and/or a black table lamp or vase. Re: Colour Selection (Black tiles ?) 11Feb 07, 2009 2:08 pm we have black, charcoal tiles in the laundry and powder room. They look beautiful but a real pain to keep clean. I think the balckness means that dust shows up more easily than beige tiles. You can also see water marks so you have to wipe them up quickly. If it is to go over a large area, you may find that you have to clean more often.
