The type of tile you choose for your bathroom or for your kitchen backsplash goes a long way in setting the entire tone and design scheme of a room. Most people tend to choose subway tile or hex tile, but an overlooked style that it is making a comeback in contemporary design is penny tile.
Penny tile is special in that it manages to be both understated and bold at the same time. This versatility is what makes it thrive. It’s also an appealing choice for a variety of styles, managing to fit in with an ultra-luxe style as well as a retro look. In other words, they’re timeless.
In the bathroom they can be used to great effect as flooring or on the walls. Or both! They also hold up well in slippery situations, which is ideal for the bathroom. The basic pattern of penny tile evokes the look of shimmering water. In this way it’s also well-suited for the bathroom. Don’t be afraid to carry the penny tile from the floor up onto the walls. This creates a clean look that also makes the space feel larger! And because penny tile is so small you can use a strip of it as an accent instead of using them throughout the room. Or you can create patterns with them by choosing some clever colors.
If you’ve been looking for a more unique way to update your bathroom or kitchen then consider penny tile! It’s a great look that’s sure to add charm to your home. Take a look at some of the examples in the full article!
