Dezeen Showroom: British tile brand Parkside Architectural Surfaces has released a new wall and floor tile collection designed to mimic the appearance of concrete and stone.
Named Dawson, the tiles are suitable for both indoor and outdoor surfaces and come in a range of neutral colours.
The Dawson tile collection is available in a number of finishes, including a 3D textured surface
The collection includes Dawson Stone, a porcelain tile informed by limestone found in the Pyrenees mountain range.
It also features Dawson Natural, which was designed to have an earthy look and is described by Parkside Architectural Surfaces as having a neutral, powdery appearance.
The collection also has a selection of concrete-effect tiles, which come in five warm-toned shades of grey.
Dawson tiles can be used on both interior and exterior surfaces, creating a continuous flow of space
The Dawson tile range is available in a variety of sizes and formats, including a selection of mosaic tiles. These can be mixed and matched to create coordinated interiors.
"With technical features that ensure design continuity between indoors and out, the collection makes it easier to approach tile specifications that connect spaces," said Parkside Architectural Surfaces.
The tiles come in a neutral colour palette and in a number of shapes and sizes
Dawson tiles can be finished with grip, textured or matt surfaces, and are suitable for use in wet areas.
The wall tiles can also be finished with textured 3D effect surfaces that create distinctive feature walls.

Ten homes with decorative parquet wooden flooring
Our latest lookbook highlights 10 homes with decorative parquet flooring including a Victorian terraced home and 1930s apartment feature in Portugal.
Parquet flooring is a traditional style of hardwood flooring, that is used to create decorative and mosaic-like patterns in homes and interior settings.
The decorative hardwood flooring is made from short wooden battens that are slotted and placed together in often intricate, geometric and mosaic arrangements.
Parquet flooring rose in popularity during the 1600s as it became a favoured option with European aristocracy, offering an alternative to decorative marble floors that required less maintenance.
It can be installed in a number of different patterns including, herringbone, Versailles, chevron and chantilly.
This is the latest in our series of lookbooks providing curated visual inspiration from Dezeen's image archive. For more inspiration see previous lookbooks showcasing cavernous interiors, bright-white kitchens and self-designed homes by architects and designers.

Ten home interiors with distinctive terrazzo floors
Terrazzo flooring adds character to the home and can be used everywhere from living rooms to bathrooms. For our latest lookbook, we've collected 10 interiors that make effective use of the sturdy material.
Durable and easy to clean, terrazzo has been used to make floors for centuries since the composite material first originated in Venice.
Traditionally, it has consisted of chunks of marble or granite set in cement with a ground and polished surface, but modern resin-based versions have allowed for a huge variety of shapes, colours and formations.
This lookbook features terrazzo floors in living rooms, kitchens, bathrooms, hallways and staircases, in a number of different shades and styles.
It is the latest roundup in our Dezeen Lookbooks series providing visual inspiration for the home. Previous lookbooks feature interiors with conversation pits, glass block walls and wood panelling.

Brown Box, Vietnam, Limdim House Studio
In this apartment in Vietnam, terrazzo flooring and surfaces were used alongside curving walls and arched niches to produce a space described by the design team as "calm" and "gentle".
"We use terrazzo all the way from the kitchen island, like a stream going down the floor and spreading everywhere," said Lindim House Studio founder Tran Ngo Chi Mai.
"Physically, terrazzo has good hardness, just enough gloss, and more heat dissipation than wooden floors, so it creates a cool feeling, especially in tropical areas," she added.
