Popular Tile Designs for Your Home

If you've been considering a renovation of your home, adding or updating the tile in your home may be a critical step! Tile comes in a wide variety of colors, shapes, sizes and materials. Not all tiles are appropriate for every location in your home. To make sure that you get the right product for your space, check out ideas and find the right contractors. These professionals can help to advise you about the right materials for the tile's function and popular shape choices for your home's aesthetic.

Subway Tile

Subway tile is rectangular in shape and has a slightly raised center. Not only can it be stacked in straight lines, it can be offset for more visual interest. You can add even more visual variety by stacking them so they're taller than wide. You can do this with the help of a pro like Renew Home Innovations. Because subway tile is often glossy, it can bounce a lot of light around and is a terrific choice for a backsplash. 

The kitchen is often the room that gets more daily use than any other space in your home. To make sure that your household suffers the least disruption, schedule a planning meeting with a contractor like EZ Kitchens to decide on the best way to schedule the project.

Hexagon

Hexagon tile comes in sheets and is often applied to floors, though it will also look terrific on a wall. Grout color choices will have a great impact on the vibrancy of your hexagonal tile. The more contrast you use between your grout and your tile choice, the more vividly your hexagonal tile will stand out.

Hexagonal tiles can be found in ceramic and in the tougher porcelain product line. For your bathroom floor, a porcelain hexagon tile in a matte finish will give the room a sense of permanence. Matte finish tiles are also less likely to be slippery when wet.

Scallop

Scalloped tiles are a lovely addition to an older home. The circular pattern lends itself especially well to the Victorian style. If you're ready to turn your bath into a spa-like oasis of old-world charm, scalloped tiles may be a terrific choice.

As you review your color choices, keep an eye out for glass tile options. Glass tiles add a pop of color and can be a lovely way to brighten up a large wall of tile. Even if you stick with gloss white for most of the field tile and the fixtures, such as soap dishes, a regular addition of beautiful glass tiles will give your bathroom an elegant feel.

Simple tile choices allow you to customize your home to suit your tastes and needs exactly. Check out these and other ideas at TheHomeMag. Find us on Facebook and Instagram.
