5 reasons to choose marble for your living room

2015-12-17T10:13:42Z

What material should you choose for the living room? The charm and beauty of marble plus the added value of porcelain stoneware’s resistance offer a world of solutions to replicate classic architectural styles.

The star of bathrooms and kitchens now takes pride of place in living rooms as an ideal embodiment of luxury and sophistication. If you are thinking of revamping your living room, here we give you 5 reasons for bringing marble into the heart of your home:

#1. Elegance. Distinction holds sway in the Venato collection, which stands out for its elegant white tone woven through with subtle veins. Large format pieces (75×75 centimetres) in porcelain stoneware with a high gloss polished finish that reflects natural light into the indoor space.

#2. Wide range of colours. Evocative of the diverse colours of real marble, Coba faithfully reproduces natural tones like brown, mocha and pearl. 75×75 centimetre pieces with Leviglass finish were chosen for this space, creating a contemporary living room showing the fresh comeback of this material.

#3. Guaranteed durability. The extraordinary resistance and easy maintenance of 75×75 centimetre porcelain stoneware pieces make them ideal for living areas. Added to this in this room is the beauty that comes with the Sinai collection in perla, highlighted by large format high gloss pieces. This model is also available in the colour hueso and is extremely adaptable to different decor styles.

#4. Versatility. As well as faithfully reproducing the charm of marble, these solutions are perfect for both walls and floors. In this room 30×20 centimetre pieces from the Imperium collection are used for the walls in perfect harmony with the 60×60 centimetre format on the floor. These formats are also available in marfil and natural colours, reducing the number of joins and outstanding for the infinite possibilities of combinations they offer.

#5. Light reflecting. This timeless material gives a feeling of spaciousness and makes spaces seem lighter. In this living room, the white gloss finish of the 60×60 centimetre floor tile Luni amplifies this visual sensation. And the abundant light of this interior also enhances the delicate features of the marble, adding to the natural feel of this room in which the floor tile captures your attention.

5 ideas for white bathrooms

2015-12-01T11:21:12Z

If you are thinking about a makeover for your bathroom and you want to be sure of getting it right, go for white. More splendid than ever before, white tiles bring a fantastic feeling of light and spaciousness to any area.

This neutral tone par excellence is associated with luminosity, spaciousness, tranquillity and serenity, and as well as making a perfect match for any interior decor style it will always be a ‘must’ in decoration.

We bring you 5 ideas to change your bathroom with ceramic tile solutions from Pamesa where white plays a starring role:

#1. Go for walls with a textured feel. Wall tiles can make your bathroom more exclusive by using pieces brimming with dynamism and sophistication. Neige Blanco, in 25×75 centimetre white body format, combined with a 2×75 centimetre gloss silver metal moulding is a great option if you’re looking for an avant-garde style bathroom with a palpable feeling of movement. The grey floor tile Gea, a porcelain stoneware in 75×75 centimetre format gives a striking colour contrast.

#2. Blend a variety of materials. If you’re a nature lover, there’s no better solution than combining different ceramics that mimic natural materials. As well as white, pearl tones are used in this bathroom, with wall tiles Coton Blanco, Glace Blanco and Soul Perla, 25×75 centimetre pieces in white body tile fused with Bosco Cenere wood-effect porcelain stoneware floor tiles, creating a space full of personality and a perfect warm atmosphere.

#3. Choose tiles with relief. Go for white wall tiles with relief features to replace the usual linear look if you want a change from smooth finishes. Linen puts white at the forefront of this bathroom, but blended with Voile to guarantee a contrasting touch. A combination of smooth and relief pieces, in 25×75 white body, brings a highly attractive voluminous feel, following a more minimalist trend. The wood-effect floor tile, a 22×85 centimetre format in porcelain stoneware, finishes off the bathroom with a warm touch. Atelier, in ash, picks up the richness of old salvaged wood in grey tones.

#4. Add a few touches of black. If what you’re aiming for is sophistication and elegance, you can choose white but include several accessories in black. In this example, black is used for details and other objects in the room, such as the moulding Dido, in 7.5×75 centimetre format. White is the main focus of attention, with white body 25×75 centimetre tiles from the series Coton. Include some two-tone pieces like the washbasin and a few decorative objects to break up the large expanses of white in the bathroom.

#5. Go for the light touch. The interior decor trend of ‘less is more’ is more in vogue today than ever. White wall tiles are ideal for this pure style, outstanding for their simplicity and functionality. These Soul Blanco pieces, in 25×75 centimetre white body, give a feeling of freedom to this open space that forms part of the bedroom. The moulding Arosa, in 5×75 centimetres, is a perfect addition to this setting, a symbol of good taste. For the floor we used Provenza, a porcelain stoneware 60×60 centimetre format in the colour perla.

Valencia Basket is standing its ground at the top of the Endesa League following its victory against Herbalife Gran Canaria (86-61) yesterday in which the virtues of the taronja team’s collective spirit took over the match after the halftime break.

In another great team effort, the inner players Justin Hamilton (16-7) and Luke Sikma (12 points and 7 assists) were outstanding.

In the words of the taronja’s coach Pedro Martínez it was a “very interesting” match; he went on to say that “we should be pretty satisfied with the defence and the intensity, all the players are mentally in really good form. A good team effort, with everyone playing their part, and it’s a great feeling when the team is on top. Solidarity, very satisfied”.

Grand opening. Last Friday the new Pamesa Cerámica Training Ground hosted its first official event with the presentation of the teams from CD Roda, a club that Villarreal CF has had a collaboration agreement with since 2006.

A total of 600 players, forming 32 teams, plus 42 teams from the junior players’ escoleta paraded round the magnificent new grounds at an event presided over by the president of Villarreal CF, Fernando Roig, and the president of CD Roda, Jorge Roda.

The Pamesa Cerámica Training Ground was built as part of the agreement signed by the two clubs, in which it was envisaged for the use and enjoyment of the CD Roda teams. The facilities are now operational and from today will be in full swing with the teams’ scheduled training sessions and cardiology tests.

With the addition of the Pamesa Cerámica Training Ground, Vila-real is now a true ‘football city’, with two sports complexes designed to bring on its young players. Located in the south of the city with excellent accesses, the new Training Ground covers an area of over 40,000 square metres and has three 11-a-side pitches and one 8-a-side pitch, together with two stands for 250 spectators.

The complex’s modern two-storey building, all clad in ceramic tiles, is equipped with the latest energy saving advances in the form of solar panels, low energy LED lighting and optimum use of resources: recycled grey water is used to water the grounds. The facilities have all the equipment needed for its sports activities to run smoothly: a large gym equipped with the latest technology, 24 changing rooms for the different categories and a room kitted out to accommodate the medical team, where Villarreal CF will provide medical attention for more than 8,000 young people from 40 teams across the province as part of its social project ‘Endavant Futbol Provincial’; this service will also offer over 2,000 cardiology tests each season.

Thanks to this new facility, some 600 young people from the province will be able to enjoy the new Pamesa Cerámica Training Ground, an ideal place for developing as footballers. Villarreal CF strengthens its base and expands its youth academy with an eye to the future. A modest, accessible and family club, its aspiration is to continue as an international sporting reference.

Important victory for the Pamesa Cerámica sponsored team against SK Rapid Wien (1-0). A goal from Bruno Soriano put Villarreal at the top of Group E of the UEFA Europa League yesterday, just one match away from the end of the group stage.

Villarreal’s trainer, Marcelino García Toral, expressed his satisfaction: “It was what we wanted, to get to the last match on our own merit. We’ve achieved that and now we can leave that competition aside for the next 15 days and concentrate on the rest. We’ll go to Pilsen with the intention of winning and being first”.
