The AR Revolution in interior design:
Augmented Reality bridges the gap between imagination and reality by superimposing digital elements into our physical surroundings.
In tile design, AR applications such as Stiles’ tile visualiser, enable us to see how different tiles would look in our spaces before making a commitment. This technology enhances the decision-making process and empowers homeowners to make well-informed choices.
Try out large format tiles:
- Etienne Griqua Stone White Matt Rectified 600x1200mm
- AB Promenade Gris Natural Rectified 1200x1200mm
- Florim Earthtech Fog Flakes Natural Rectified 1200x2400mm
Virtual tile try-on:
Gone are the days of guessing how a tile pattern or colour will look in a room. With AR, you can virtually try on various tiles in your space through the lens of a smartphone or tablet.
Simply scan the room, select different tile options and watch as the digital tiles seamlessly integrate into your environment. This empowers you to experiment with different designs without the hassle of physical samples.

Realistic scale and perspective:
One of the challenges in traditional design visualisation is understanding scale and perspective accurately. AR overcomes this hurdle by providing a true-to-life representation of how tiles will appear in your space.
You can view tiles from different angles, assess their size in relation to furniture and fixtures and gain a comprehensive understanding of the final look.
Visualise with marble:
- AB Ravena Pulldo Rectified 800x1600mm
- Expocasa Bianco Matt Rectified 600x1200mm
- Pamesa Lucca Blanco Polished Rectified 600x1200mm
Minimising design regret:
Design decisions can be overwhelming, especially when dealing with permanent elements like tiles. AR alleviates the fear of design regret by allowing you to see the finished product beforehand.
This visual confirmation boosts confidence and eliminates any uncertainty that might arise during the installation phase.

Try out patterned tiles:
- Ceusa Visione Mix Natural 584x1170mm
- Ceusa Confete Pink Natural Rectified 1000x1000mm
- Ceusa Confete White Natural 1000x1000mm
Collaborative design experience:
AR transforms the design process into a collaborative experience. Homeowners, designers and contractors can all use the same AR app to visualise and discuss design options in real-time.
This fosters effective communication, ensures alignment on design choices and streamlines the overall design journey.
Augmented Reality has revolutionised the way we approach interior design, making it more interactive, intuitive and tailored to individual preferences. In the realm of tile design, AR applications have become indispensable tools for homeowners and professionals alike, enabling us to see the future of our spaces with unparalleled clarity.
So, whether you’re embarking on a renovation or simply exploring design possibilities, embrace the magic of Stiles’ tile visualiser and visualise your dream space like never before with Stiles!
