Interior design is no longer just about aesthetics—it’s about how a space makes you feel. One of the most powerful tools in mood-based interior design is the choice of tiles. From calming neutrals to energizing patterns, tiles play a key role in shaping emotions, ambiance, and comfort within a space.
At Icolux, we believe the right tiles don’t just cover surfaces—they create experiences. In this blog, we explore how different tile colors, textures, and finishes influence mood and how you can choose the perfect tiles for every room.
Your surroundings have a direct impact on your mental and emotional well-being. Colors, lighting, and textures subtly influence productivity, relaxation, creativity, and even sleep quality. Since tiles are permanent design elements, selecting them thoughtfully ensures your space supports the mood you want to create.
