After an extensive period of subtle patterns and minimal colour schemes in the bathroom, there is now resurgence in surface pattern and block colour.

Craven Dunnill reflects this emerging trend, with its new Tarim collection of ceramic tiles for the walls and floor, which features a bold floral design in gloss finish and field tiles in warm tones of chocolate and cream; the elegant colour scheme balances the bold floral design, to create a contemporary classic to stand the test of time.

The Tarim range from Craven Dunnill’s Renaissance Collection features two colours: Marfil a rich cream, and Wenge a warm chocolate brown.

Both are available in scored and plain wall tiles with matching floor tiles; the floral design is depicted in a high gloss finish on a satin brown background and is available as an inset wall tile and as a décor tile.

Shown here:

• Tarim Marfil and Wenge 415 x 316mm: around £26.05m.²
• Tarim Wenge inset 415 x 316mm: around £15.45 each.
• Tarim Wenge Décor 316 x 100mm: around £5.50 each.
• Tarim Wenge floor tile 316 x 316mm: around £24.70m².

Tarim is the latest addition to the Craven Dunnill Renaissance Collection, which comprises over 300 different wall and floor tile ranges.

The collection remains fresh and contemporary with new ranges introduced frequently.
