TILE DESIGN: THE BASICS
Choosing the right tile design is a process. In fact, the sales and service team at Tile Source of Dalton, Georgia believes that it is a creative process. Not only must you choose the proper color, size, texture, and finish of your bathroom or kitchen tile, but you must also consider design choices. Just like art and music, trends come and go in the tile industry. That being said, there are design staples within the tile industry that have been around for decades that are not going anywhere. At any rate, the following guide, “Tile Design: The Basics,” was created to help you navigate the world of basic tile designs.
FARMHOUSE TILE
Tiles that fall into the farmhouse tile category are generally wood look floor tiles. However, there are wood look wall tiles that can really add natural textures to your construction project. Farmhouse tiles come in both ceramic and porcelain and come in various plank sizes. For a real shabby chic look, check out the distressed wood look tiles. These go great in any country home.
MODERN TILE
Tiles that fall into this category cover a broad range, but modern tiles are typically made of ceramic, porcelain, stone, and glass. For a modern look in any space, floor tile selections can be paired with a similar wall tile. This counterpoint strategy is sleek and smart way to create a contemporary flair for your home. Also, keep in mind that glazed and gloss finishes are the most popular types of modern selections. Bright, snappy countertops and wall tiles give a fresh and new feel to any kitchen.
RUSTIC TILE
Rustic tile designs are those that cover a range of historical periods, yet are generally large square shaped tiles that are made to look like stone. The colors are earthy. Rustic tile designs work well outdoors, but can be a smart choice around a hearth as well. Rustic tile designs are typically textured in some way and also work well in outdoor shower areas and saunas.
Traditional Tile
Like rustic tiles, traditional tile designs cover a broad range of historical periods, yet the traditional designs are more elegant. Traditional tile designs come in many different colors, but generally the white, off-white, and grey are considered traditional colors. These neutral colors and patterns come in marble look designs that fit wonderfully in any comfortable space.
