Tiles will continue to look good tomorrow as they did today. To inspire a refresh, we share below 10 spaces in the home and tile types most suitable. Whether your eye is drawn to exquisite glass or classic ceramic tile, you can expect an unrivaled freedom to bring dreamy design ideas to life.
- Entryway
First impressions last! Well, tile lasts well beyond that moment! And since it is stylish and strong, adding an element of interest just became your new welcome mat. The reliable durability of porcelain floors is a welcome fit for this spot. And for a wall feature that draws the eye, ceramic, marble, and glass tile set the perfect tone.
- Living room
Imagine stepping into your home and experiencing lasting style underfoot. It’s not a dream! It’s the result of choosing stunning floor tiles that make an instant impression! The timeless flair and warmth of wood has certainly not lost its charm.
Thanks to cutting-edge techniques, wood-effect porcelain tiles transcend the limitations of real timber flooring. They offer superior resilience, making them an ideal fit for heavy foot traffic.
- Fireplace
A stunning fireplace surround can be a brilliant complement to living room design. Naturally, heat-resistant tiles are a favored option. Porcelain, glass, marble, and ceramic cladding will give your firebox a new lease of life. Use the same tile for one of the other walls to create visual rhythm throughout.
- Kitchen
Whether you’re designing a new kitchen or giving an existing one a refresh, tiles can transform an uninspiring room into a centerpiece. Mosaics are a fantastic fit as a kitchen backsplash tile.
Geometric shapes in bold and subtle hues add an artistic touch that will leave your guests in awe. Choose from ceramic, porcelain, marble, or glass tiles to create a gorgeous space for culinary magic.
- Laundry room
Often an overlooked space yet one that lets you experiment boldly—laundry rooms are deserving of a style moment. Whether you fancy an intricate mosaic pattern or a subtle blend of shades, introducing backsplash tile will add distinct character. Here, tile options galore. Glass, ceramic, marble, and porcelain all set the stage for unwavering beauty.
- Bathroom
The days of dull bathrooms are far behind. Make a statement with durable tiles like never before! Porcelain is designed to get wet and therefore, a more durable bathroom floor tile. It illuminates the space with quiet sophistication perfect for a spa-like staycation.
Glass and ceramic tiles are also great picks for shower walls. Bold hues create a striking focal while muted tones inspire calm and tranquility. On floors, dainty glass mosaics offer extra texture and grip.
- Powder room
Show off your unique aesthetic with powder room tiles! Style is king when designing this small, less frequented room. Create a sense of space with light-reflecting glass tiles. Bold colors and intricate mosaic shapes will draw attention away from the room’s size.
- Bedroom
Want to add a hint of oomph to your cozy haven? A tile design will do! Here, tile can run across the floor or headboard wall, creating instant style. For an inviting ambiance, we recommend warm, textured tiles. Wood- and stone-effect ceramic or porcelain are always a fab choice for personalized flair to your private space.
- Swimming pool
The iridescent quality of glass tile will add visual splendor to your aquatic oasis. With dazzling colors and patterns to choose from, creating the ultimate backyard accessory has never been easier. As for the reflective, sparkling effect in the water—well, it simply captures the alluring beauty of glass.
- Garden and patio
Porcelain paving slabs in wood and stone looks guarantee longevity for a garden oasis. These tiles can take a beating from changing temperatures. Selecting porcelain tiles suitable for indoor and outdoor floors creates seamless flow from living room to patio. An expansive space between the two areas makes entertaining a joy.
