The designer left the rest of the finishes simple to avoid clashing with the floor. Light-colored cabinets were built to the ceiling along the wall, paired with black handles that matched the pattern. The door openings were designed as arches, which soften the strict geometry of the tiles. A round terracotta pouf adds a warm color touch to the black-and-white palette.
Tip: The accent floor is rarely chosen in isolation from the overall design. For black-and-white ceramic tile, a sealant needs to be selected that won’t make the pattern too harsh; for quartz vinyl, a backing is required. Between tile and laminate, attention must be paid to the joints and baseboards. Otherwise, even a good idea from a saved project won’t work due to minor details: the joint colors may not match, the baseboards may clash with the overall palette, and there may not be enough material for trimming.
At Lemana PRO, you can bring a photo of a preferred interior, floor plan, or render to create a set for a specific room. A specialist will help choose flooring such as tiles, ceramic tile, quartz vinyl, mosaic, or laminate, calculate the required quantity with a margin, and select the appropriate adhesive, filler, underlayment, and crown molding.
This makes it easier to immediately see how the materials will combine in the hallway, kitchen, and living area of the apartment, rather than making decisions based on just one sample. Once the choice is made, you can order the installation there as well — no need to find a contractor separately and explain which materials were selected for what purpose.

Terrazzo and Wide Board
In a 45 sqm studio in Moscow, designers Yevgenia Potapova and Anton Belov from ARTTUNDRA studio transformed an apartment in a former Kalmikov factory building by dividing the floor into two zones. Ceramic tile was installed in the hallway, kitchen, wardrobe room, and bathroom, with patterns that mimic terrazzo (Venetian flooring with stone chips). Wide engineered wood flooring was laid in the bedroom and living room.
The terrace continues the building’s industrial history and blends with concrete beams and brick columns. The flooring makes the living area more comfortable and looks great with a green velvet sofa. The kitchen fronts were covered in a gold-like finish by the designers, paying homage to the vibrant interiors of early lofts.
Cherry tile in the kitchen
The bright floor set the tone for the entire kitchen: the lower cabinets were painted a vivid blue with white handles, the upper cabinets were covered with shiny film, and a red refrigerator was placed in the corner. The designer continued this bold color scheme in the hallway as well: hanging a mirror in an unusual shape with a pink frame, adding a blue pouf, and painting the doors between rooms yellow.
Art in the hallway
In a 35 sqm studio in a new building in Moscow, designer Oxana Oleynikcovered the entire apartment with Italian ceramic tile and installed underfloor heating. In the living room, she used uniform light-colored tiles to make the space appear larger, while in the hallway and corridor she used ceramic tile from the same collection but with a bold black-and-white pattern: this makes shoe marks less noticeable in the passage areas.
The designer created the entire interior using four colors from the CMYK printing system: blue, yellow, purple, and black. The black-and-white floor in the hallway fits in perfectly here. The wall behind the TV was painted yellow to make the apartment feel brighter, as the windows provide little light.
Golden “French fir tree”
In a 65 sqm studio apartment in a new building in Moscow, designer Elizabeth Eremina designed a space for a family with two young children and three cats. The floor was covered with engineered wood in a complex golden hue arranged in a “French fir” pattern. Artificial flooring was intentionally avoided here, as the owners preferred natural materials.
The warm hardwood floors complement the rich colors in the apartment: burgundy, dusty pink, and blue. In the bedroom, the designer painted the ceiling moldings and chose a bed in a dark burgundy shade. She selected the kitchen’s color based on the dusty pink chandelier from Italy that hangs above the dining table.
If you’re not ready to change the flooring throughout the entire apartment, start with one area: such as the foyer, kitchen, or hallway. Patterned tiles are also a practical solution for those areas.
