Marble tiles complement world-class dining

Andrea Beckett Interiors was commissioned by Winteringham Fields restaurant to upgrade their lounge, restaurant and reception areas.

Andrea chose Ceramic Tile Merchants to provide the tiles for her design, and both she and the proprietors of Winteringham Fields were delighted with the overall effect.

She decided on Indonesian polished marble tiles in natural beige and brown tones to give a stylish, neutral look.

"Part of the charm of Winteringham Fields is the age of the property. However, the uneven walls and ceilings and floors did bring about their own challenges when choosing a suitable flooring,” Andrea said. 

“This tiled area joins all of the lounges, restaurant and reception area together so it was important to ensure that the flooring not only suited the age of the property but also tied in with the ‘theme’ of the newly refurbished rooms.

We chose the Indonesian polished marble for its quality, colour and varying size of tile. We were able to use the larger tiles in the reception area where the floor is even. In the hallway it was a little bit more of a challenge because of the uneven floor and walls.

“Consequently, we were able to use the smaller mosaic tiles combined with the larger tiles to produce a walk through which not only looks very smart but will be practical and hard wearing over time. 

“These tiles also look great in a bathroom or wet room."

Colin McGurran, of BBC2’s Great British Menu fame, is head chef at the world-renowned Winteringham Fields. The design and marble tiles have now helped to provide an opulent, world-class feel to the surroundings, as well as the food.
