Habitat Stripe Pearl - Subtle dynamics for your walls

The Habitat Stripe Pearl wall tiles bring a soft yet noticeable movement to your interior. These ceramic wall tiles, featuring a horizontal stripe pattern in pearly white tones, add texture and character to your walls. The alternation between matte and subtly shimmering stripes creates a playful light effect that changes with the light throughout 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 exudes warmth. The subtle striped pattern adds that extra dimension that standard plain tiles lack, without becoming overwhelming in your interior.

Versatile applications throughout the house

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

• Bathroom : Create a sense of space with horizontal stripes that visually widen the walls. Combine with the basic Habitat Pearl tiles for a dynamic yet cohesive look.

• Kitchen : Use it as a stylish backsplash that subtly stands out without competing with your kitchen fronts. The stripes add a modern touch to both rustic and sleek kitchens.

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

• Living room : Use as an accent wall behind a seating 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 adds personality.

Design possibilities that inspire

The Habitat Stripe Pearl's stripe pattern offers a variety of 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 visually 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 feel.

Material benefits that make the difference

The Habitat Stripe Pearl tiles are distinguished by practical features:

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

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

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

• 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 gray grout of a maximum of 2mm to accentuate the clean lines of the striped pattern and keep the whole look calm.

• Place the tiles horizontally for a room-widening effect or vertically to visually raise a room.

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

• Use indirect light such as wall lights or LED strips to cast shadows over the texture, giving the striped 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.

• Coordinate your fixtures and taps with the pearl white base - chrome, brushed nickel, and matte black fixtures create a beautiful contrast.

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

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 spaces, we recommend choosing tiles specifically designed for the Dutch climate with its fluctuating temperatures and periods of frost. Our advisors are happy to help you find outdoor tiles that complement your Habitat indoor tiles.

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, which can damage the matte finish. In damp areas like the bathroom, it's recommended to seal the grout for extra protection against moisture and mold.

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

The Stripe Pearl variant features 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 color and work beautifully together in a single space for a subtle yet interesting contrast.

How does the placement direction affect 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 a space but makes it appear 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 underfloor and wall heating. They conduct heat well and are resistant to temperature fluctuations. However, for optimal energy efficiency in combination with wall heating, we recommend consulting a specialist first about the correct installation method.
