You might have noticed that we love to talk about tile. We talk about ways to choose the right tile, how to create more visual interest from even the most basic tiles, and which tiles are the most durable. Today let’s have some fun with tiles by talking about the creative ways that tile can be used in the bathroom and throughout the home!
Putting tile on the wall in your bathroom is common, but have you thought about putting tile on the walls of other rooms in your home? Tile is a tremendous option for homes that are too humid for wallpaper to stick or homes where kids and pets might otherwise wreak havoc on the bare walls. Put tile on the wall of your bedroom or use tile to create a feature wall in the living room! There are so many different types of tile to choose from that you can definitely find one that suits your home’s style. Tile on the wall can help give your home more visual interest especially if it’s lacking in the architectural realm. You can also consider putting tile around your fireplace to create a stunning frame or as a dynamic kitchen backsplash. One bold idea is to put colorful tile against the back wall of cabinets so that there’s a burst of color waiting inside every time you open the door. This is a great idea for glass-front cabinets!
These days there are so many different types of tiles available for you too choose from. There are likely some styles that you would have never considered or expected from tile, too! For instance, did you know that you can get woodgrain tile now? It’s true! And it actually looks pretty amazing in a modern bathroom or anywhere else in your home for that matter! It’s water resistant, durable, and because it’s tile it can be arranged in a number of interesting patterns. What’s great about woodgrain tile in the bathroom is that you have the ability to contrast that look with all the other styles of tile that cover the space. Contrast in tile, color, pattern, and shape can create an enormous amount of visual interest. Use this to your advantage in your bathroom by allowing yourself to get creative!
There are as many reasons to love tile as there are types of tile available! Find the ones that you love and let them loose throughout your house!
