Tiles to Pair with Viva Magenta
There are a number of ways you can introduce Viva Magenta into your space, and finding the best tiles to complement this bold shade is a fantastic way to bring out the beauty of this colour.
Natural Wood Effect Tiles
As we know, Viva Magenta is all about evoking colours of the natural environment, and the same can be said for our stunning range of wood-effect tiles. When paired together, your interior will be evoking the outdoors effortlessly, combining both striking and neutral shades for the perfect colour balance.
We have a range of natural wood-effect tiles available, such as the Johnsons Drift DRIF1A Autumn Reeds 300x200x9mm. These wall tiles offer a contemporary twist on the otherwise traditional tile, with threads of darker and lighter tones to create a textured look. Luckily, these tiles can be used in a number of rooms like your kitchen or bathroom, meaning you can choose where works best for you.
Another popular choice is the Grove Wood Effect Beige Porcelain Floor Tiles, which immediately open up your space with that much-needed feel of nature. The neutrality and textured effect of these wood-effect tiles is what works so well with Viva Magenta, offering an ideal accompaniment to the strikingly vivid shade.
Set against these earthy tiles, Viva Magenta has the potential to create a beautiful focal point of any room, or you could introduce it as an accent shade for a subtle hint of brightness.
Glossy Grey Tiles
If you are still looking to pair your Viva Magenta accent with a neutral shade, you can opt for a cooler tone with some of our glossy grey wall tiles. The popular Johnson Savoy Brick Dew Gloss Ceramic Wall Tile (300x100mm) – 34300 is an ideal match for this vivid shade, and works well across multiple different household rooms.
This particular tile helps to transform your interior into a modernistic haven with its cool tone and glossy finish, making it a dream to maintain and clean. You could use this tile alongside a Viva Magenta painted wall to produce a bespoke splashback or feature wall.
Glossy grey floor tiles also create a beautiful foundation in relation to the assertive nature of Viva Magenta, and the Azteca Smart Lux Graphite Porcelain Tiles – 600 x 600mm pair perfectly. With a subtle sparkle, these grey tiles help to bring out the drama of Viva Magenta, but in a way which complements, rather than overshadows.
Dramatically Dark Tiles
Similarly, you can go fully bold and seductive when you use the Johnson Vivid Black Gloss Brick Ceramic Wall Tile (400x150mm) to fit into your home. With the dramatic contrast of the dark and alluring black tiles alongside the vibrant magenta, your space will immediately become eye-catching.
These black tiles are completely timeless, and can be either dressed up or down depending on the aura you want your space to evoke. Reflecting the light well, the glossy finish on these tiles allow you to get a stylish look whilst still being easy to care for and affordable. You will certainly be making a statement with this colour combination!
The same can be said for the Azteca Smart Lux Black Porcelain Tiles – 600 x 600mm, which introduce a classy and contemporary glamour to fully encapsulate the vivacity of Viva Magenta. Their large formatting helps you to make your space feel as luxury as possible, but without the unaffordable price tag.
