Haven White as a living room floor

Haven White Terrazzo-Look Tile as a living room floor, in two photographs of the same room. The first looks across the seating towards a run of tall windows, the second drops close to the floor. The same walnut coffee table and the same pair of windows appear in both.

Rust chair, green sofa, pale floor

Tall windows in timber frames throw daylight straight onto the floor, and the tile holds it as a pale, warm white rather than a cold one. Laid as large squares in a straight grid, the joints are few and thin, so the floor reads as one continuous field under the rust armchair, the walnut coffee table and the green sofa.

Aggregate and joints up close

Close up, the pattern is fine and evenly scattered, chips of beige, soft grey and warm taupe on an off-white ground. A diagonal band of sunlight lifts a soft sheen, and the joint lines stay pale and narrow, so an edge is easy to miss. Colour reads differently on every screen, so check a physical sample.
