Tile Trends for Stylish Home and Living Spaces – Particulars
Tile trends involve different aspects, including but not limited to colors, shapes, sizes, finishes, designs, and layouts. Let’s take a look.
Colors
Color determines the broader outlook of your home and living spaces. It can determine the space’s mood. The color of your tiles sets the tone of the area. Below are some tile colors that bring elegance and luxury to your room.
- Deep Colors. If you want a more opulent room, consider deep colors. I prefer emerald green, deep blues, and regal purple colors. Alternatively, you can combine them with a neutral tone for an enhanced effect.
- Neutral Tones. Cream, white, and beige colors have a touch of sophistication, space, and airiness. I use these color tiles as a symbol of luxury. With such colors, you can add other luxurious items, including statement furniture and metallic accents.
- Metallic. Raise your room’s luxury by adding metallic finish tiles. Go for bronze, gold, or silver finishes. Of these, I prefer gold.
- Iridescent. Besides gold-finish tiles, I like iridescent tiles. These tiles alter their appearance when viewed from different angles.
Shapes and Sizes
The shape and size of tiles impact the general aesthetics of the space. The interior design experts we consulted recommended the following tile shapes and sizes.
- Geometric Shapes. Luxury interior designs adopt hexagonal, octagonal, and other geometric-shaped tiles. These tiles bring a unique statement look when appropriately organized. I´ve used these tiles in my home to highlight specific areas, especially in living spaces.
- Large Tiles. Interior design professionals argue these tiles bring a clean and luxurious touch by reducing grout lines.
- Subway Tiles. These tiles measure 3 x 6 inches. They blend perfectly in the olden and modern styles. They also adopt various patterns, making them more appealing. I have these tiles in my entry foyer and all corridors in my house.
Finishes
How you use tiles determines the overall feel of your living space. Below are standard tile finishes I highly recommend.
- Polished Finish. These are smooth and reflective. You can use them to add a glossy effect to your room. Consider this finish for a sophisticated and luxurious effect.
- Matte Finish. A matte finish is ideal for a modern and subtle elegance effect. They are perfect for walls and floors as they don’t show water spots or smudges.
- Textured Finish. Consider a textured finish tile to add depth and dimension to your living spaces. I’ve seen many designers using them to create a backsplash for a striking focal point. Others use it as an accent wall.
Layout Ideas
Interior designers use different layout ideas to bring out different aesthetical values. Below are some of the commonly used ones.
- Mix and Match. Combining different tile shapes, sizes, and styles brings your living space a more customized and electric feel. I am open-minded and have combined several types of tiles with varying sizes to create a perfect visual appeal for my living room.
- Diagonal Layout. You can rotate rectangular or square tiles to add dynamism to your room. As observed in my friend’s house, having them in your room brings a movement illusion effect. The good thing is that this design perfectly fits contemporary and traditional styles.
- Zoned Tiling. Zoned tiling creates contrast in your living spaces. Divide the space into different zones. Use different tiles or colors for each zone. My children love how I zoned their room using these tiles.
- Patterned Backsplashes. Patterned tiles used as backsplash enhance the color effect in any room. Besides, it reveals your personality when incorporated perfectly into the living space.
- Rainbow Effect. Mix different color tiles if your room lacks visual interest or vibrant colors. This process will establish a rainbow effect. My interior designer advised me to consider these tiles in my store room, which lacks vibrant colors.
- Art Mural. Arrange tiles uniquely and organized to create a focal point or art mural. This feature will make your room more appealing aesthetically. I recommend adding these tiles to your room’s front wall: the TV area.
- Three-Tile System. Implementing a three-tile system in an organized manner adds depth and aesthetic value to your room. Use tiles with varying colors, textures, and finishes.
