Tiles are more than just functional surfaces, they are a key element of interior design that can transform the look and feel of your home. From floors and walls to bathrooms and kitchens, choosing the right tile design enhances style, durability, and functionality.
“Tiles allow homeowners to combine practicality with aesthetics. A well-selected tile not only improves the appearance of a space but also protects surfaces and simplifies maintenance,” says Ms. Isabella Chandi Orando, Senior Quantity Surveyor at Quantum Built and Environment Consultants (Pty) Ltd.
There are countless types of tiles available, including ceramic, porcelain, natural stone, mosaics, and decorative patterned tiles. Each type offers unique benefits and design possibilities.

Cost Considerations
The cost of tiles depends on the type, quality, size, and design complexity. Natural stone and specialty tiles are more expensive but offer unique aesthetics and durability, while ceramic and porcelain provide a cost-effective and versatile option.
Mr. Peter Muwonge, officer in charge of landscaping and projects at Passions Services, adds:
“Standard ceramic tiles may start at Shs50,000 per square meter, while premium stone or designer tiles can range higher depending on quality and origin.”
Maintenance & Longevity
Tiles are low-maintenance, but proper installation is crucial to ensure longevity. Grout sealing and periodic cleaning prevent discoloration and damage.
“Tiles are one of the easiest surfaces to maintain. With high-quality materials and professional installation, they can last for decades,” says Ms. Chandi.

Tile layouts and finishes can dramatically alter a space. Large-format tiles create a seamless, modern look, while smaller tiles or mosaics allow for more intricate designs. Colors, textures, and patterns can be tailored to match your interior design vision.
