Tiles have long been used for many aspects of home decor and features. And if you have a blank canvas or you want to create something fun and unique, tiles can be a great way to add character, contrast, and fun to your home decor.
But how exactly can you create a feature from using tiles in your home?
Fireplace
You can use tiles to help you make a stronger feature of your fireplace. Whether you simply surround the fireplace with tile or extend it and take the tile right up to the ceiling and across the adjacent wall, tiles can make your fireplace seem dramatic and bold and help you create a stunning focal point for the room. Consider using contrasting colors like black and white or textured tiles such as mosaic or 3D tiles for a bolder look and to add more depth to the room.
Tiled Dining Table
If you have a statement dining table, or you want to create one, consider using tile to cover the base of the table. This can be a more discreet yet impactful way to add to a room. If you have a specific style you want to pull together, you can create custom bases and stands for dining tables or even coffee and side tables around your home. This can be done by purchasing a plain base, applying tile adhesive, and then arranging the tiles in your desired pattern. This works really well for adding texture or covering up aspects of a table that don’t fit strictly with what you have in mind.
Backsplash Tiles
But not just any backsplash tiles. Why not consider patterned backsplash tiles like Moroccan or Spanish tiles against patterned cabinet doors and other textures in the room? A tile company can talk you through your options so you can pair the best colors and designs together to really make your kitchen pop and ensure you choose the right styles for the space you have.
Tiled Bedroom Wall
A tiled bedroom wall instead of a head back can really add some drama to a bedroom. You can use tiles to create a custom headboard, artwork or anything else, and then add soft furnishings to help you add comfort to the space and different colors and texts to make it seem less clinical. If shiny tiles are not for you, opt for matt tiles or textured ones that help to create balance within the room.
Kitchen Islands
Moving back to the kitchen, adding titles to your island can help you add color and character to your kitchen’s functional piece of equipment. Use tiles to use the island Nadi instead of being a professional piece of equipment, turn it into an art installation right in your home. Bright patterned tiles work well here alongside muted designs and colorways on walls and flooring or in contrast to other materials.
While tiles are ideal for flooring both internally and externally, making your bathroom watertight and aesthetically pleasing, there are so many other uses around your home you simply need to be creative to figure out how best to use this versatile material.
