Apart from being a beautiful and friendly country, Portugal is the best place to get your fix of tiles! Every street corner will reveal another facade completely covered by tiles.
Hi there! I am back from a summer break that I didn't intend to be free from blog posts. The truth is that comparing having to work with my iPad Mini from a hotel lobby with the possibility of discovering a new country, I chose to go with the latter. Apart from being a beautiful and friendly country, Portugal is the best place to get your fix of tiles! Every street corner will reveal another facade completely covered by tiles. The amount of time spent to install tiles and grouting in such extensive areas must be considerable! There are many colours and designs to love. Blue is probably the most popular hue seen on the Portuguese facades, however once in a while we would bump into something very dated. I was fascinated by these outstanding frontages. In Portugal, tiles are not kept for bathroom, you will find them on every surface both indoor and outdoor. Of course, floors indoors will be tiled as well and the majority of pavements are breathtaking. It feels like they have put their heart into every single stone and design. The public squares and alleys are not only an urban necessity, but they are also made to please. If you have to possibility to visit Portugal or make a shorter trip to Lisbon, take time to get lost in the streets, it's worth it! You may also be interested in:

I love upholstery. Whether on furniture or doors or even walls! Upholstery gives an instant feel of warmth, comfort and elegance. My latest obsession is upholstered doors and if I had a bigger house, which could handle them, I would upholster one door after the other! Upholstered furniture doors can create such a beautiful and unique effect: You may consider covering boring folding-doors, and turn them into the most interesting part of the room! They are also the perfect alibi to introduce pattern into the decor. You can basically use the upholstering material of your choice as long as it is thick enough. However, leather and velour are the epitome of elegance. This is so grand: You can stress a peculiar style and play with upholstery nails in interesting patterns. We cannot deny that these doors make quite an impact. I am just a bit sad that my own doors aren't tall enough to wear leather and nails. |
