An interior close to nature: how to choose gres tiles for a forestcore-style home?

The golden palette of autumn foliage, the rustle of footsteps among the fallen leaves, the smell of damp soil mixed with the aroma of growing mushrooms – all this awakens a longing for the comfort offered by a forest cottage, tucked in somewhere at the heart of nature. Now you can bring this harmony and peace to your own home by introducing elements that parallel the untamed side of nature. We will help you discover how to create a space that reflects this carefree landscape using selected gres tiles.

What are the characteristics of forestcore, also called the forest cottage like style?

Forestcore is more than just a trend in interior design. It’s a return to our roots and celebrating the simple life in a quiet forest, where functionality combines with coziness. Natural materials, handmade items and subdued colors are characteristic in this style. The key element that helps to create this special atmosphere are properly selected gres tiles. Their texture, appearance and durability can contribute to creating a coherent, warm space, which is quintessential when it comes to the farmhouse style.

Wood-like gres – perfect for nature lovers

Nothing reminds you of a walk on a forest path like a floor that imitates real wood, complete with its texture and warmth of course. Wood-like tiles are the answer to the call for closeness to nature. Their realness, visible in every knot and grain brings us closer to the forest. By choosing gres tiles with a wood-like pattern, you will not only ensure durability and ease of cleaning, but above all, you will surround yourself with a material that reflects the ever impressive, unspoiled nature.

In order to choose the right kind of floor tile for a forestcore-style home, it’s crucial to look for tiles that most closely resemble real wood in its most organic form. Perfect tiles to be used in living rooms, hallways or other spaces should be within the range of shades that exist in real forest landscapes, i.e. from deep, earthy browns like those found in Guardian Wood Walnut, which resemble tree bark, to the more subtle beiges and grays, like in Aviona Bianco, which mirrors colors found in the forest on a foggy morning.

Bathroom gres and kitchen tiles – functionality combined with style

The bathroom and kitchen are spaces that require materials with special properties. Frequent contact with rapidly changing temperatures and humidity, means that the products used should be highly resistant to the above-mentioned factors. Fortunately, today you no longer have to choose between what looks good and what is functional. Gres tiles come in so many patterns, while at the same time mirroring what is found in nature so perfectly, that they can be used very successfully in forestcore interiors, even when it comes to the so-called “wet” rooms.

It’s not just wood-like gres that will work well in this type of design. When creating interiors with a forest-like atmosphere, it’s also worth considering stone tiles. Models such as Dignity Gray or Tacoma Silver Lappato will perfectly balance the more cozy decorative elements in the room and bring desired harmony to the space.

Another product that will perfectly fit the forestcore style will be brick, or gres, which happens to imitate it perfectly. In this context, it’s worth paying attention to Piatto sand, which is a delicate color of warm sand, or the classic red mirrored in Piatto red. Both collections perfectly reflect the spirit of the forestcore style, introducing the natural and raw feel into the interior, which is so characteristic of this trend.

Nowadays, when we’re constantly surrounded by noise, everyday rush, and the continuous hustle and bustle of city life, more and more people are looking for ways to find peace and harmony in their surroundings. It’s in this context that the concept of forestcore interiors pops up, drawing inspiration from nature, especially the forest. These interiors are designed to remind us of the beauty of nature, its calm rhythm and constant harmony. If you’re dreaming of such a space, remember that the key is choosing the right elements – starting at floor tiles and finishing at the smallest of details. In order to make the interior not only beautiful, but also functional, it’s crucial that each product be selected with precision.
