Patterned Tile Throughout Your Home

Adding accents and character to a space can be a delightful journey, whether it be as floor tile or wall tile. The versatility of patterned tile allows you to explore your creativity, bringing a unique character to any space in your home. From the bathroom to the kitchen, and every room in between, patterned tile can be the distinguishing feature that sets your home apart.

Patterned Floor Tile

Bathroom

• In most rooms, there are specific areas to highlight. In a bathroom, a soaking tub will happily accept becoming an enhanced focal area. Placing pattern tile, like Basketweave marble, in an enlarged rectangular pattern around the tub will make this inviting feature more pronounced, allowing it to be properly showcased. Or, consider the space in front of a vanity. Here’s a fun idea: use patterned tile in this space instead of bathroom floor mats—bonus, you won’t have to worry about mats getting dirty and needing to be washed or replaced. As for how you place the tile, that is entirely up to you—be it a row, several rows, or maybe just in sections.

• There is no need to limit the amount of patterned tile you use if you find one you love. Look at this bathroom, as shown in the photo above, for example. The homeowner selected Reverie 8 to dazzle their bathroom floor and then carried it up a section of the wall within the shower. They also meticulously outlined their tub with a compatible tile (Paros Navy) to outline its placement and enhance its appeal. The best part about this is that as a porcelain tile, it only requires a simple wipe-down to keep its luster and enhance longevity.

Kitchen

• If you have a devoted dining area, placing patterned floor tile where the table sits, extending outward of the table dimensions, is a great way to create a focal diversion to accentuate the family gathering space. This is another great space to use tile instead of an area rug if you desire that pop of color, aesthetic appeal, and draw. Rugs can become difficult to clean, especially in an area where they will easily become stained. Consider a color of Cementine Posa to make this area radiate.
• Patterned floor tile could easily expand the entire kitchen and look stunning. However, adding varying details can add dimension and a fun feel. Placement in front of the sink area and other spaces on the floor you want to highlight—again, areas you would often find a throw rug—would be perfectly replaced by aesthetically pleasing tile. Petal marble has a sophisticated attribute to it and would work well with many décor styles, making this a great selection.

Around the Home

• It may surprise you all the places where patterned floor tile would be a perfect choice. Especially some of the areas that might get neglected, like a pantry, a laundry room, a walk-in closet, and a mud We do spend time in these areas, so why not make them more appealing? Adding floor tile with patterns makes a space seem more inviting which otherwise may not. Surprise your guests with your stellar placement of Cementine Retro in these pocket spaces that often lack detail.

Patterned Wall Tile

Similar to floor tile, patterned wall tile is great for the home. If you prefer an accent wall or focal area highlighting a window or a main feature like a fireplace, patterned tile will achieve this design strategy.

Bathroom

• We mentioned highlighting the floor around a soaking tub but to carry the same creativity up a wall around the tub will add extra color, dimension, and vitality. Also, while you are soaking you will be able to admire the tile that is so gracefully surrounding you. So, consider the wall and floor in this space and use patterned tile on one, the other, or both surfaces.

• In the bathroom, one of the most used features is the shower. It’s used multiple times a day in a full household, so making this space somewhere you can relax, rejuvenate, and feel invigorated is important. For a more subdued look, you can choose a single wall within the shower or a custom design that incorporates more neutral patterned tile, like CS-Calacatta Gris. On the other hand, if you have a pet shower, this can be an opportunity to add a real pop of color! Try creating a unique pattern with colored tile, like in the above photo where you will see colorful Gioia tile displaying itself vibrantly.

Kitchen

• Aside from a bathroom, the kitchen is perhaps the most thought-of room when selecting wall tile. Applying tile to the backsplash is a wonderful place to showcase your creative design chops and add some patterned tile. While a more subdued tile may work for some people, why not have fun with this surface? Tapestri porcelain is a modern, crisp geometric design that embodies soothing color tones while offering dimension. It’s a perfect midpoint between what may be considered too traditional and calm or too bold. If bolder is your taste, Cementine Black and White will open your world of design. However, if more traditional is your style but you still like some pattern options, Chevron is a great choice.

Around the House

• Options for walls that would look great with patterned tile are plentiful. A commonly selected surface to emphasize is around a fireplace. A fireplace is generally a source of ambiance and comfort, so accentuating this as a focal point is fitting. Chymia porcelain offers a mix of black and white that possesses a look of sophistication and will dignify your fireplace. Riggiole also offers a black-and-white design but provides a fun mix of patterns. To take it up one more notch, Cementine Evo provides a strong visual impact that will enhance every bit of creativity displayed in your sitting area where everyone gathers around the fireplace.
