Today's market offers a dizzying array of tile options. Choosing the right tiles not only enhances the overall aesthetic of the house, it ensures your living space will remain timeless for many years to come. Here're some creative tile design ideas to turn your home into a work of art.
1. Turn a Plain Wall into a Work of Beauty
Most people associate statement pieces with decorative art. Tiles can yield the same effect and stand out from the surrounding architecture.
An example is combining different sizes, colours and textures of hexagonal tiles to create an entirely new pattern. Tiles with geometric patterns can deck the walls to create an eye-catching focal point, transforming any ordinary wall into a work of art. You can also incorporate tile into your home design is through mosaics, which are made up of small tiles grouped together to produce a larger pattern.
2. Use Tiles to Highlight a Space
Many split up their spaces using different tile sets to form borders. Tile designs can also draw attention to an otherwise unnoticed place, such as the boring nooks and corners. You can also add personality to your rooms with different tile patterns.
Tile rugs, which involves making rug-like shapes out of tiles, are another excellent element to liven up a space. The most common shape is rectangular, though it can take on a variety of other forms as well. This sets the space apart from the rest of the floors in monotonous colour and pattern.
3. Integrate Tile Designs into Built-in Furniture
If you have a large open space, adding elaborate and intricate floor tiles might be too overwhelming. But in smaller spaces, incorporating intricate tiles into furniture can add value to the space.
For those who appreciate a minimalist aesthetic yet want to inject a healthy dose of colour and pattern, this is the ideal solution. Simply turn your kitchen islands into eye-catching focal points by covering them in ornately designed tiles. The island instantly becomes more than just a useful work surface.
