Looking for a Retro look?

Taking the past and rediscovering it, reinterpreting it in a contemporary light: the most interesting design projects have been successful in reinventing the retro style, maintaining its decorative expressiveness, and bringing it up to date with original combinations of modern furnishings, design details, and practical, versatile solutions.

It is possible to restore historic flats and old dwellings to their original charm by carefully restoring them. By preserving and enhancing the most precious elements, such as antique furniture, architectural elements, and decorated flooring, such as cementina tiles and majolicas, the designers aim to balance traces of time past with beauty that remains.

Although few people are fortunate enough to own a historic home with its natural and timeless charm, why not create a retro atmosphere in our own home with materials that have a similar decorative effect?

In the world of design and finishes, there have been many creative solutions capable of recreating the decorations of classical cementina tiles, but with superior performance and durability.

Ceramic cementina tiles, inspired by Mediterranean atmospheres, Liberty style, Art Nouveau or the more recent Optical trend, are the most effective solution both technically and aesthetically: ceramic cementina tiles offer the greatest flexibility and expressiveness for creating personal, unique spaces in your home, while still maintaining durability and practicality. For a full immersion in the past, decorative floor and wall tiles can be used alone, or combined with other effects and materials for a more contemporary, refined, or eccentric look.

This range’s progenitor, Terra, inspired Marca Corona’s latest decorative innovation, Terra Art cementina tiles.

Rather than being merely an homage or reinterpretation, Terra.Art is a collection focused on contemporary trends, working with fresh, refined and enveloping colours.

Different everyday environments can be infused with a vintage-chic personality using Terra.Art porcelain floor and wall tiles.

Due to the variety of patterns Terra Art offers and the simplicity of sizes, 25×21.6 hexagon and classic 20×20 hexagon, Terra Art can enhance the personality of any room and adapt to any style.

Seven fresh, irresistible colours make up the colour palette, ranging from Tramonto, a warm shade perfect for Mediterranean spaces, living rooms, and offices, to Oceano, a fresh and airy shade that would complement bathrooms, reading areas, and living rooms, as well as neutral Sabbia, Crema, and Bianco, which make great choices for decorating sleeping areas, living rooms, or intimate areas… Can’t decide which shade is the most beautiful, visit Muldoon’s Showroom in Kewdale!

Marca Corona offers many more decorative pieces!

If you’re looking for a more Mediterranean and lively style, you can use the Storie d’Italia collection of 20×20 floor and wall tiles with 7 geometric-floral graphics, which can be mixed or used individually to create an even more striking look. These decorative cementina and majolica tiles come in matte and glossy finishes, making them truly versatile and attractive.

Aiming to satisfy the wildest side of the human spirit, Marca Corona proposes Paprica, small sizes that reinterpret the optical style of the 1980s through eye-catching geometric graphics. The cementina tiles from Paprica create surprising optical illusions, ideal for making hidden corners more attractive, carving out niches or dividing open spaces of all sizes.

Different styles and atmospheres can be accommodated with this versatile decorative solution: a modern and sparkling look, a minimalist look when paired with stone or cement effects, and a stylish look when combined with marble or wood-effect flooring!

Ossidi floor and wall tiles provide a timeless vintage feel to residential and commercial interiors. 

A Ossidi line of cementina tiles from Marca Corona comes in 20×20 and 18.7×32.4 cm diamond sizes. They feature neutral shades with retro accents in dusty finishes and geometric-floral patterns.

Color-blocks and graphic carpets can be designed to create original designs and to be paired with reclaimed furniture. A glossy finish is also available for lovers of industrial style, which emphasizes the expressiveness of the colours. 

It would be impossible not to mention Terra when discussing cementina tiles that are decorated? There is no limit to the projects Marca Corona has been used on throughout the world. It has become one of the most popular collections among designers and architects. The most spectacular retro-inspired design gems can be found in boutique hotels, restaurants, shops, and above all, in private residences.

An example? Casa Moreno, a beautiful holiday home located in the heart of Rome, the eternal city… just like the style of the Terra cementina tiles.

It is a combination of style, durability, and practicality that defines the Marca Corona cementina tile collections: ceramic is an extremely durable and safe material, so it is the perfect choice for commercial and public projects, where durability, safety, and hygiene are of primary importance and aesthetics are equally important.
