If styled carefully, the tile layout and patterns can truly create a flabbergasting appeal. Have a look!
Shorten the Space
This is a classic way to decorate and not make your space look overwhelming! Well, in the case of abnormally tall ceiling height, you can choose to create a wainscotting pattern with the help of tiles to tone down the space. The average height of the wainscotting can be 3.5 to 4 feet. Furthermore, lay these tiles in a horizontal pattern to widen the look and achieve a cozy and cohesive appeal.
Go For A Subtle Touch
Especially with bold and darker surroundings, choose a subtle pattern for the tiles to create a calming appeal. Let’s say if you have darker-toned wooden cabinets or bold kitchen walls - the subtle and subdued white or off-white wall tiles can help mute down the space. This is also a classic way to make your space appear larger, enhanced, and airier. Moreover, choose a glossy-finish tile to further reflect light and make the kitchen or bathroom space feel larger.
Add Drama with Multiple Tiles
There can be plenty of visual interest in a space with multiple tiles onboard. Choose a blend of solid square tile with patterned tiles to elevate your space and make it feel more lively and welcoming. The variance in texture can further promote a play of tactile feel in the space. You can also choose to style these in a wainscotting pattern or simply clad an accent wall in accent-patterned tiles and let the remaining walls play a solid tile.
Choose a Bold Herringbone Style
Apart from the classic subway tiles, you also have the opportunity to style with herringbone tiles. Exhibiting a dominant visual impact, these herringbone tiles can account for added depth and drama in the space. Especially if you’re looking to make an impact and accent with tiles in your home, the herringbone tiles are a timeless, sophisticated, and elegant way to do that. Moreover, the smooth and wavy texture of the herringbone tiles is absolutely cherry on top!
Add Movement with Floor Tiles
