Beaumont Tiles ‘Maison’ range: A great way to inject the warmth of timber into your bathroom (without the moisture issues involved with using actual wood), this gorgeous plank style, timber look, matte tile is 1798mm long and is available in three colours – beech, cedar and noce. And in a rather clever move, no two tiles are the same which gives the look a real authenticity.
