If you are considering redecorating any room in your house, one of the considerations will undoubtedly be the flooring or materials you place on the walls. Most people buy flooring with a view to it lasting a very long time so it's a really important decision to make.
Tiles are a often a popular choice for lots of different applications and rooms, here are just some of the amazing reasons why:

Hygiene

Floor tiles and wall tiles are are incredibly hygienic, which is why so many people opt to use them for floor and wall coverings in lots of different rooms in the house. They do not attract dirt at all like some surfaces can because of static, and they don't absorb odours either which is great when they are subject to food and various other items being splattered on them or dropped on them regularly. You can also buy wall tile and floor tile grout which is anti-bacterial.

Heating efficient

Some people choose to have underfloor heating installed instead of radiators as the systems don't cost as much to be installed (in most cases), and they can be more efficient than traditional radiator heating.

Anti - allergy

For people with children, or people with heavy allergies, tiles are an amazing option as they don't provide a home for dust, hair or allergens. So unlike carpet which contains a huge amount of dust and allergens even after it's been hoovered, tiles are ideal for homes with pets, children and/ or people with allergy problems.

Durable

When you pay a lot of money for porcelain tiles or expensive wall tiles or floor tiles, you expect them to last a long time. Tiles are a better investment than carpets or paint as (when looked after properly) they can last years longer, and maintain the same quality finish as when you first had them laid.

Provides a natural 'clean' feeling

Regardless of the colour tiles you choose, they always provide a natural clean feeling to any room. This is partly because they are easily cleaned and so are less likely to be stained or discoloured, and also because they are naturally reflective.

Versatile

Wall tiles and floor tiles can be applied in any room in the house, and blend in with any decor or design theme. They can come in pieces and be used to make a mosaic, they can be completely practical and used to create a waterproof surface in a bathroom, and they can come in beautiful designs and prints, used for purely decorative reasons, the possibilities truly are endless.

They are waterproof

Tiles are able to resist water damage so they are ideal in areas where spillages and splatters can happen (IE the kitchen), and they are waterproof (when fitted properly) so they are great in wet rooms, bathrooms and toilets.

They could increase the value of your home

A beautiful finish in a home will increase its appeal to potential buyers. This is particularly relevant when tiles are used to give the image of a neutral, clean and fresh room as it has been proven potential buyers are more likely to bid on a property that feels clean.

Comfort

Floor tiles are comfortable to walk on and they also retain heat which is really economical if you use your heating sparingly.

Cost effective

Chosen carefully, porcelain tiles can be really good value, and because they last such a long time they are often a great investment. Porcelain or ceramic tiles are often the same price or cheaper than carpet or hardwood flooring.
