The Best Tile Colors for Every Mood
It’s no secret that colors can have a powerful effect on our psyche. When designing interiors, color plays a major role in establishing the overall feel of an environment. Tile is an easy way to bring color to a room, so consider the emotion you want to evoke from the moment people step into your space. Whether you love energizing hues or tranquil tones, each shade will influence the ambiance of your home, so select colors that best match the mood.
Tile Layouts We Love
Once you’ve chosen your tile, the design process is just getting started! The next step is to land on a layout. If you’ve fallen in love with the look of rectangular brick tiles, you’re not alone. This popular shape falls at an intersection between classic and contemporary, with several stylish ways to arrange your installation. Whether you’re embarking on a floor or wall-to-wall install, selecting the right layout is as essential as the tile itself.
Beyond Basic Subway Tiles
It seems like white subway tiles have been a design world staple since the beginning of tile. Although there’s something classically chic about the understated nature of the reliable install, there are several ways to update this trend and give it a fresh take. You can transform the longstanding appeal of subway tiles into a captivating design statement with an open mind and a touch of creativity. From different textures to unique patterns, we’ve highlighted our favorite alternatives to standard subway tile.
