Habitat Stripe Pearl - Subtle dynamics for your walls

The Habitat Stripe Pearl wall tiles bring a soft but noticeable movement to your interior. These ceramic wall tiles with a horizontal stripe pattern in pearl white tones give your walls texture and character. The alternation between matte and subtly shiny stripes creates a playful light effect that changes with the incidence of light during the day.

These high-quality wall tiles in the generous 34x66.5 cm format are rectified for a perfect fit and minimal joints. The result is a sleek, modern look that still radiates warmth. The subdued stripe pattern adds that extra dimension that standard plain tiles lack, without becoming dominant in your interior.

Versatile applications throughout the home

These striped tiles are much more versatile than you might think. They add a subtle but effective dimension to a variety of spaces:

• Bathroom : Create a spatial effect with horizontal stripes that optically widen the walls. Combine with the basic Habitat Pearl tiles for a dynamic but coherent look.

• Kitchen : Use as a stylish back wall that subtly stands out but does not compete with your kitchen fronts. The stripes give a modern touch to both country and sleek kitchens.

• Toilet : Transform this often cramped space by the width-enhancing effect of the horizontal stripes. The neutral color keeps it calm and timeless.

• Living Room : Use as an accent wall behind a sitting area or media unit for a subtle yet interesting backdrop that isn't too busy.

• Hallway : Guide visitors through your entrance with stripes that suggest natural movement and visually widen the space.

• Bedroom : Create tranquility and character at the same time with a softly striped headboard that doesn't overstimulate but does add personality.

Design possibilities that inspire

The stripe pattern of the Habitat Stripe Pearl offers various design possibilities:

• Horizontal placement : The standard positioning reinforces the horizontal stripe pattern and makes rooms appear wider – ideal for cramped bathrooms.

• Vertical installation : Turn the tiles 90 degrees for a surprising effect that optically raises ceilings - perfect for rooms with low ceilings.

• Mix & match : Combine with the matching Habitat Pearl base tiles or the Habitat Square Pearl mosaic pattern for a subtle yet interesting contrast.

• Scandinavian style : Integrate with light woods, natural materials and a minimalist design for a fresh, light Scandinavian vibe.

Material benefits that make the difference

The Habitat Stripe Pearl tiles are distinguished by practical properties:

• Durable quality : The high-quality pasta branca base ensures a long life without discolouration or aging.

• Easy to maintain : The pearly white surface with stripes conceals small splashes or streaks better than completely plain tiles, making it ideal for everyday use.

• Light reflection : The subtle alternation between matte and glossy stripes creates a soft play of reflections that enlivens the space without overpowering it.

• Rectified Edges : The perfectly straight, machined edges ensure minimal joints and a sleek, modern look.

• Temperature management : Ceramic tiles feel pleasant in both summer and winter and work well with underfloor or wall heating.

Tips for the best results

• Use a white or light grey grout of maximum 2mm to accentuate the straight lines of the striped pattern and keep the whole thing calm.

• Place the tiles horizontally for a space-expanding effect or vertically to optically raise a room.

• Pair with a matching accent colour in accessories – soft greens, terracotta or greyish blues work beautifully with pearl white.

• Use indirect light such as wall lights or LED strips to cast shadows across the texture, giving the stripe pattern more depth.

• Consider combining the Habitat Stripe Pearl as an accent wall with the regular Habitat Pearl tiles on the remaining walls for a subtle yet interesting contrast.

• Match your sanitary ware and taps to the pearly white base - chrome, brushed nickel and matt black fixtures all create a beautiful contrast.

• For a long-lasting beautiful result: apply a high-quality impregnation layer to the joints in damp areas to prevent mould formation and discolouration.

Technical details

Frequently Asked Questions about Habitat Stripe Pearl Tiles

Can I use this tile outside?

This tile is specifically designed for indoor use and has not been tested for frost resistance. For outdoor areas, we recommend choosing tiles that are specifically designed for the Dutch climate with varying temperatures and periods of frost. Our advisors will be happy to help you find outdoor tiles that match your Habitat indoor tiles in terms of style.

How do I maintain these striped tiles?

Maintenance is simple: use a damp cloth with a pH-neutral all-purpose cleaner for daily cleaning. Avoid abrasives or acidic cleaners that can damage the matt finish. In damp areas such as the bathroom, it is advisable to impregnate the joints for extra protection against moisture and mould.

What is the difference between Stripe Pearl and the regular Pearl variant?

The Stripe Pearl variant has a subtle horizontal stripe pattern with alternating textures that add depth and movement to your wall. The standard Pearl tiles have a smooth surface without a stripe pattern. Both share the same pearl white base colour and work well together in one space for a subtle but interesting contrast.

How does the placement direction influence the spatial effect?

The placement direction has a major effect on the spatial experience:

• Horizontal placement makes a room appear wider but slightly lower
• Vertical placement visually increases the height of a space but makes it slightly narrower
• Diagonal placement (although less common) creates a more dynamic effect and can make rooms appear larger

Can I combine this tile with underfloor heating?

Yes, these ceramic wall tiles are compatible with both floor and wall heating. They conduct heat well and are resistant to temperature changes. For optimum energy efficiency in combination with wall heating, we do recommend consulting a specialist first about the correct installation method.
