At this new tile launch, we enjoyed seasonal songs from St George's Hanover Square carol singers and live music by Verity & Violet and The Anthemics. With a sparkling Prosecco reception and mouth-watering canapes, this was a great way to start celebrating this year's Christmas spirit.

Bathroom tiles
Materials matter when it comes to the bathroom. A water-tight finish will be key for a bathroom wall in a shower or wet room, for example, which is why porcelain makes such a perfect choice. Materials, such as this, add the durability while the design and pattern of the Marvel DIVA range, featuring a marble effect, will instantly enhance the beauty of bathroom floors and walls.

Wall and floor tiles: sizing
The Marvel DIVA marble effect tiles offer a fresh, new look at a premium quality and provide a more affordable option than natural stone. If you're looking for fewer grout lines, the entire collection comes in generously sized tiles and extra-large slabs for a super-sleek finish in a modern bathroom. Large slabs are more durable and require less maintenance than real marble - they benefit from a low water absorption rate, which is what makes them so popular for bathroom tiles.
Size matters and this range features precisely rectified edges with intensely defined patterns and veining on a grand scale - the results are near-seamless, uninterrupted surfaces for contemporary glamour.
Easy maintenance
Whether you're looking for floor tiles or wall tiles, the new marble effect Marvel DIVA collection is ideal. There will be no need for sealing to make the tiles impermeable in wet areas, such as bathrooms, but they will still have he ability to give the room, whether this is a bedroom, bathroom, kitchen or dining room, a luxurious, unique look.
