Adding Style and Character to Your Home With Tiles

tiles
Decorating your space is one of the most enjoyable yet daunting projects you can do as a homeowner. When it comes to materials, you need to consider not only the design constraints but also your budget. While there is a multitude of products available, tiles are one of the most versatile and cost-effective materials that can effectively spruce up any space.

From floor to wall coverings, tiles are used to cater to even the most complex design ideas. Whether ceramic, stone, metal, or glass, these materials can change the overall feel of your house. Read on to learn the different styles these materials can give to your space for your next tile installation project.

Simple and Classic
Traditional tiles are known for having repetitive patterns that create a soothing, uniform feel in a room. There are also non-repetitive designs that give off a classic, neutral look like ceramic or porcelain with solid colors. The layout is also a big factor when it comes to creating a subtle yet elegant finish. You can opt for a diagonal or octagonal placement that brings all the elements of a room together.

Modern and Unique
If you are going for a contemporary look, you may opt for tiles with realistic textures, shapes, and designs. Technology has made the detail in texture and color variation exceptional, which has allowed manufacturers to replicate the appearance of wood and stone. Large slates like natural stone tiles have also become popular because they create a seamless illusion of space to small rooms.

Vibrant and Flashy
There is almost an infinite choice of styles and colors when it comes to tiles. For a bold design, you can consider using ceramic or glass materials with rich colors and create a unique pattern. A visually striking style is perfect for adding drama and impact to a room. Floor or backsplash mosaics like basket weave and honeycomb designs are also popular for creating a contrasting yet lasting statement.
