Victorian houses often have hallway floors covered with tiles such as Minton tiles, which look good with rugs on them and can be kept clean easily with sweeping and mopping. Kitchens and bathrooms are commonly tiled and likewise with flooring and walling in utility rooms, as a result of them being waterproof and hygienic. For that reason, families with kids and pets tend to choose tiled floors. Conservatory floors are also popularly laid with tiles because they are cool under foot in warm weather and they can also be heated in winter using underfloor heating.

Shower rooms and en suites are often decorated with travertine tiles that are honed and filled, whereas the unfilled type of tile will often be used to decorate kitchens because there is less chance of water splashing.

Ensuring a regular coat of sealant is applied each year will protect your tiles for longer. Slate tiles, which can be used on walls or floors, are another popular choice, that can be purchased in various colours and usually have riven textures.
