Marble-Look

Marble is one of those classic and timeless designs that are making a comeback in 2021 — and for good reason. They just fit so well in any kind of home — be it industrial, urban modern, or contemporary. More than just that, marble has long been associated with luxury. It’s such a versatile design choice, that you can incorporate this design into any part of a home and still make it give off the Haute vibe you’re going for.

In this kitchen render, you’ll see that the black marble-look tile has been deftly incorporated as part of the center island. While the design may not take up the entire space, its subtlety stands out, thanks to the light brown wood-look wall and floor tiles that surround it.

To achieve the look, go for matching modern fixtures. You can opt for clean storage spaces, such as a slab, modular, or a custom-built kitchen cabinet in white, black, or dark grey. Add your choice of recessed or modern pendant lights that can match the entire space.

 

Wood-Look Finish with Bright Yellow

Pantone has declared the Illuminating Yellow and Ultimate Grey as the top colors for the year 2021. It’s no surprise that avid home designers would want to make these colors a part of their kitchen spaces.

Adding vibrant colors such as yellow may seem tricky in the beginning. You don’t want to overdo it, but at the same time, you don’t want to relegate it into the background of your entire kitchen.

For this design, you can come up with the modern standard of adding metal furniture and counter islands — but if you want to take it up a notch, going for a classic retro feel might do the trick.

Pair your vibrant yellow wall tiles with handle-less kitchen cabinets in an aquamarine color for the perfect contrast to yellow. You can also use this chance to downsize your kitchen — collapsible furniture, small indoor plants, and miniature appliances are some of your options.

 

Flower Pattern

While not everyone may warm up to the idea of floral kitchens, lovers of this type of design may beg to differ. Because of their uncanny looks, floral patterns can create a standout kitchen. The right set of tiles with a washed-out white color can easily get your floral kitchen moving in the right direction.

Focus on making the entire space as cozy as possible. Additions, like indoor plants, pendant lighting, and a set of farmhouse furniture and storage spaces can complete the entire look.

 

Blue Mediterranean Pattern

How to Style a Large Living Room

How to Style a Large Living Room

How can you style a large living room?

  1. Decorate with tall plants
  2. Use two-toned designs
  3. Choose large furniture
  4. Group small ornaments together

 

Now knowing how to style a large living room can be frustrating. Try as you might, you just can’t seem to find the right pieces and match them together. For a lack of a better word, everything just seems so bare. No matter how many times you rearrange all the fixtures, nothing just seems to work. Architecturally, your living room size is something that you’ve always dreamed of — but actually matching all the elements together to maximize the space is a completely different ball game.

Don’t worry because you don’t have to do any drastic home renovations, all you need is a few key simple tricks that can let you design your large living room to its full potential. Read on!

 

Decorate with Tall Plants

Decorate with Tall Plants

[60×60] EG16

When designing living rooms, you need to keep in mind that no space should feel empty. This is not to say that you should overdo it, but rather you have to find the right balance avoiding an overcrowded area, while simultaneously making the living room feel spacious and vibrant.

A good way to achieve this is to decorate your living room with tall, indoor potted plants that bring both life and a breath of fresh air to the different areas. You can place two pots flanking a couch, or on opposite corners — it ultimately depends on the architectural layout.

For this, you have to make sure that there’s enough sunlight entering the room so that it can provide the right nutrients for your plants to flourish. You can start off with any tall-growing plants like Birds of Paradise, Dragon Tree, or an Umbrella Plant (also known as the Schefrella five fingers).

 

Use Two-Toned Designs

A living room designed with only a single color can give off the vibe that it’s much larger than it actually is. Instead, you can use two-toned, contrasting colors for the walls that can make the ceilings appear lower.

If you want a sleek and contemporary theme, you can utilize light neutral-colored wall tiles. Match the design by incorporating a brown-black floor tile like the P131-4. You can even add complementing furniture, like a glass-stainless steel coffee table or your own set of customized furnishing.

For something more colorful, try to go for colors that aren’t too bright. Choosing from a pastel palette to paint your walls may help you achieve the desired effect.

 

Choose Large Furniture

It wouldn’t make sense to add a large-size mattress in a small bedroom, just as it wouldn’t make sense to use small furniture for a large living room. Here, it’s important that any object that you’ll want to incorporate in this type of living room is larger than life. This is the perfect way to truly highlight the grandeur of the area.

Might be time to skip out the old wooden coffee table that’s only capable of carrying only two or three spread-out magazines at any given time. Turn towards oversized versions that can highlight the vast expanse of space in the living room. Pair it with comfortable, but appropriate seating, like an oversized contemporary-modern or sectional sofa to complete the look.

 

Group Ornaments Together

[80×80] E0BC-60QE

While you can always buy — or create — a large painting to adorn your living room walls, it’s not really mandatory. Sometimes, you really just have to work with the ornaments and decorations that you have and carefully plan how you want to organize them.

Let’s say you have a collection of small-sized figurines, It’s a good idea to have them kept inside one large display case that you can safely mount in one corner of the living room. Don’t space them out awkwardly in random locations as this can give off a nonlinear look that feels incomplete.

You don’t have to limit yourself to figurines or miniature statues — you can group together just about any ornament you can think of, and still end up with a cohesive large living room look.

 

Key Takeaway

You’ve learned about some techniques that you can apply when figuring out how to design a large living room. First things first: keep it simple. It’s all about the way you organize the entire room to come up with a look that just feels right.

5 Bathroom Tile Ideas for 2021

What are some bathroom tile ideas for 2021?

  1. Subway tile 13GAW1
  2. Wood-look pattern P133
  3. Black marble LF6833
  4. 3D light beige KY3
  5. Concrete-finish grey P141-4

 

Thinking of greeting the New Year with stylish bathroom decor? Knowing the right bathroom tile ideas for 2021 can easily help you organize bathroom elements, choose colors, and pick finishes that can lead to a stunning look. Think about how your bathroom can match your current living space — you’re arguably spending much of your time at home, so it’s best to go for clean looks and decluttered arrangements.

2021 interior design is all about reining in interior designs that can complement your lifestyle. Focus on straightforward, yet gorgeous looks that appear effortless. Functionality is also a number one priority — it might be time to get rid of outlandish decor that’s too in-your-face. Instead, try to focus on neutral shades. You’ll come up with a unique design that’s truly fit for the year.

 

Subway Tile 13GAW1

The versatility of this white subway tile makes it a perfect contender for the ideal bathroom look. Although white is a basic shade, almost any kind of color that you choose can match it — whether it be blue, grey, brown, beige, or black.

You can go about styling with this tile however you prefer, but if you want to stick to the classics, a two-tone bathroom works best. Choose elegant fixtures, like a raised ceramic sink that stands out from the rest. Install it in a floating wooden countertop for added effect and to maximize your space. Spruce up the room by adding in some fresh indoor plants or hanging paintings that fit in well with the whole vibe.

 

Wood-Look Pattern P133

There really isn’t a single look that defines an Asian-inspired bathroom, but this wood-look pattern tile can very well make the perfect element. Don’t be fooled by the tile design — it’s actually made of porcelain that emulates the natural appearance of wood. Having this as your wall tiles can start you off on the right foot for your dream bathroom redesign.

Asian-style interior design focuses on relaxing spaces that soothe the mind and body. From your bathroom sinks, vases, mirrors, decor, and even hanging racks, make this possible by choosing non-conventional additions.

For example, try adding a makeshift bamboo hanging rack that you can move around freely. Balance the dark wood colors nicely by pairing it with a one-piece pedestal white ceramic basin that gives off a contemporary, yet altogether vintage look.

 

Black Marble LF6833

If you’re planning to focus on your bathroom’s vanity area, then the perfect tile to do it is this beautiful black marble-style tile. It has all the aesthetic appeal of a marble finish, without the lavishness. Paired with the right fixtures, designing an exquisitely classic vanity can be made simple.

A good place to start is by choosing the right vanity mirror. A classic look wouldn’t be complete without the elegance of a framed oval mirror. As for the lighting, two curved sconces lamps can give off a vibrant illumination to the entire bathroom. Step inside this part of your home and you’ll definitely feel as if you’re in a whole other world.

 

3D light beige KY3

Ever dreamed of designing a look that puts even the most lavish 5-star hotel bathrooms to shame? This uniquely 3D-patterned beige tile might just be the missing ingredient. Adorn your walls with this tile and you won’t even have to miss the feeling of luxury.

Similar to the first Asian-inspired bathroom on this list, this patterned tile fits in well with unconventional bathroom features. In the render, you can find a small pergola reflected in the wooden-framed mirror. The entire space also gives off a contiguous, uninterrupted feel that’s emphasized by the walk-in glass shower and the complementary tiled flooring.

 

Concrete-Finish Grey P141-4

[60×60] P141-4, [10X30] 13GAW1

A distinct feature of industrial interior design is the rugged, almost brutalist look brought on by the use of exposed structural elements, like bare concrete, beams, or even pendant lights. Achieving this style for any bathroom is as simple as having the right colors and experimenting with other accents.

Sporting natural streaks, layering your floors with this concrete-finish grey tile can help you complete this part of the bathroom. For your walls, if you’re not too thrilled about the idea of exposed masonry, the white subway tile on the top of this list can make the perfect pair. Keep in mind that it’s important to creatively apply it to your walls by going for an English brick bond or cross bond pattern that’s typical of most masonry surfaces.

Don’t be afraid to add whatever elements that you can think of. The industrial style works best with just about anything else, whether it be a nifty shower room corner shelf, niche, floating towel rack, or a stainless steel basin.

 

Key Takeaway

4 Stunning Modern Chic Tiles for Your Bedroom

4 Stunning Modern Chic Tiles for Your Bedroom

What are the most stunning modern chic tiles for your bedroom?

  1. Brown with wood pattern CL06
  2. Matte white G0AM-01PEA
  3. Wood-look vinyl LD185-09
  4. White terrazzo 1-3473

 

“Modern” and “chic” are probably two buzzwords that you’ve heard to describe interior design or architecture. But what do they really mean? Combined together, you have a whole new phrase that emphasizes bold patterns, unique looks, and an uncanny mix of traditional and contemporary pieces. Now you have a few concepts to springboard on, especially if you’re looking for beautiful modern chic tiles for your bedroom.

The fashion industry defines chic as something that’s sophisticated, stylish, and effortlessly exquisite. It treads the fine line between boldness and subtleness. With the right tiles, however, you can easily approach this tricky thematic tightrope to come up with a design that’s wholly distinct. Check them out!

 

Brown with Wood Pattern CL06

[60x60] CL06 Brown with Wood Pattern

[60×60] CL06

Wood is oftentimes associated with rustic or traditional decor. However, the modern chic design movement has led to creative expressions of how this natural look can be seamlessly incorporated into any space.

This first tile on our list, while it may not be totally made of pure wooden elements, is nonetheless a great alternative to this natural design. You can call your bedroom “modern chic” by simply mixing and matching various styles together.

For example, the wooden shades can be complemented by vibrant colors from both ends of the spectrum. You can definitely achieve this by focusing on accent pillows, bedding sheets, duvets, or comforters that come in pink, light pink, purple, or lavender. Spruce up the whole look by also throwing in some custom-built side tables for a more charming appearance.

Modern chic is also about experimenting with different patterns and geometric shapes. Some people may be more hesitant to do this because patterns do have a tendency to overpower everything else in the room. Instead of blending in seamlessly with all the other elements, they tend to stick out like a sore thumb and end up not working at all.

However, you can definitely use patterns to your advantage — the trick is to stick to a two-toned color pallet with bright hues every now and again. If you want to try styling with stripes, stick to matching shades like black and white, pastel gray and blue, or any neutral color combinations you can think of.

Since you’re still aiming for modern chic, add fixtures from different design movements. For example, an Asian-inspired candle holder, a minimalist artwork, or a Scandinavian knitted blanket might not work well on their own — but together, they’re enough to make your room an absolute standout.

 

Wood Look Vinyl LD185-09

Wood Look Vinyl LD185-09

Here you have another wood-look vinyl tile on the list which you can incorporate in your bedrooms for a late modern European feel. This is the perfect time to focus on the various fixtures around your room, like lighting, side tables, beds, ceiling trimmings, or simply your decorations.

Colors in the same palette can definitely bring out the exuberance of this dark shade wood tile. Think beige, cream, light brown, mahogany, walnut, white oak, or willow. Add a lovely contrast to these shades by focusing on not just the quality but also the quality of your lighting.

You want your modern chic, but classic European bedroom to feature hanging lights, sconces, or even recessed ceiling lights. They can help illuminate the rest of your bedroom and highlight your decorations and furniture. To finish the look, make the room give off a relaxing and cozy vibe by layering and maximizing the space.

 

White Terrazzo I-3473

Terrazzo can also be a part of your modern chic bedroom redesign and the perfect tile to do it is the I-3473. It’s fun, colorful, and sleek — this is the perfect addition to make your bedroom walls livelier and a reflection of your fun-loving personality.

The artsy and independent interior decorator will definitely have hours of countless fun working with this bedroom wall tile. Now might be the best time to purchase a new platform, folding, or Murphy bed. Daybeds are also a great choice if you want to add a multipurpose element to your bedroom.

Of course, you also shouldn’t forget to decorate. No one likes sticking to conventions but a sturdy white table, modern chic wall nook or niche, or a simplistic side drawer will do the trick. Accents of your choice will definitely be appreciated, be it an old leather-bound book, a miniature indoor plant, or a retro-style alarm clock.

 

Key Takeaway

Some of the best modern chic tiles for your bedroom are not exactly what they may seem. Those dark wood-look tiles, white terrazzo, or even the plain white tiles? They can definitely make way for your modern chic interiors. With this type of style, you really have the creative freedom to choose what you feel works best. Don’t be afraid to explore other looks that you want to try out.

Wood-Look

 [20×100] 2100P4

Wood-look tiles are also making a comeback in 2021. They’re exquisite and classy, without the drawbacks of actual wood — we all know how difficult they are to maintain.

To effectively style with this design, think about combining it with other wooden tones that are in the same shade or darker compared to your floors or walls. Add in a bit of flair by sticking to a theme, such as this Asian-inspired dining hub on the list.

Another thing about wood designs is that you definitely want to veer into a more traditional or rustic finish. Go for wooden furniture and classic fixtures like pendant lighting or sconces. You may also add custom-built elements such as wall-mount shelves or living room platforms for added depth.

 

Hexagon Pattern

[30x60] NHC63016 + [18x122] LD6187-5A_ Hexagon Pattern

[30×60] NHC63016 + [18×122] LD6187-5A

Stylish tiles don’t just come in the typical square or rectangular shapes. In fact, you’ll also find hexagon-patterned tiles that are fun to experiment with and can make any room appear more elegant and sophisticated.

The versatility of this beautiful 30×60 hexagon tile makes it the perfect addition to your living rooms, bedrooms, or even terraces. But if you really want to bring out its features, it’s best suited to interior design styles that are accentuated by clean lines and playful geometric shapes. Use this tile if you want to come up with a unique wall accent to your space.

Gray Marble-Look

2021 also marks the return of earth tones, pastel colors, and neutral looks that match modern additions — think about the simple, yet functional home office, or shared spaces that can maximize any small area.

This large-format gray marble tile features a simple, yet absolutely visually-striking tone for the modern home. Its sheer size can make any room feel more spacious, making it a suitable choice for those who are working with room constraints or those who are looking to downsize.

With these gray marble tiles, customized furnishing and a splash of color can emphasize your room. Floating shelves are a good space-saving option, for example. Complete the look with your own choice of indoor plants, living room accents, or other types of vibrant home decor.

 

Subway

Subway

Styling with subway tiles should also be on your top list for 2021. Although they’re mostly known for adding beautiful backsplashes to kitchen spaces and dining rooms, you could also mix and match with various patterns to emulate a style of your choice.

For example, if you’re planning on revamping your kitchen area, try white-washing it with a fresh new coating to give off a new and lively finish. These subway tiles come in a gray color that can add a lovely contrast to the rest of your room.

These tiles can also find a home in your living room walls. Style it in such a way that it emulates exposed brick or masonry structures for added effect. Any decorations or furniture that you’ll want to add should come in lighter or more colorful shades for an awe-inspiring living room.

 

Key Takeaway

What better way to start off the new year than by revamping your home or commercial space using these tile trends for 2021? This year focuses on calming tones like gray and marble. There’s also an emphasis on mixing and matching different styles — like rustic and industrial — to come up with a wholly different design that simply works.

Color of the Year 2021: Ultimate Gray and Illuminating Yellow

Color of the Year 2021 Ultimate Gray and Illuminating Yellow

What are the design ideas you can do with the colors of the year?

  1. Japanese-style bedroom
  2. Bright yellow bathroom
  3. Contemporary kitchen
  4. Natural stone living room

 

What better way to start off your home redesign this year, than with Pantone’s Color of the Year for 2021? Luckily for you, you don’t just have to work with a single color. Lovers of DIY interiors and stylistic living will definitely appreciate two colors on their arsenal to experiment on: Ultimate Gray and Illuminating Yellow.

With two completely contrasting colors, it might seem difficult in the beginning to draft a design that you want. However, this is where the hidden charm of these two colors surface — belong to opposite ends of the spectrum, these complementary colors offer you limitless options on styling your interiors or even outdoors. From Japanese-style bedrooms to a bright yellow bathroom, listed below are just some design ideas to get you started with 2021’s Colors of the Year. Continue reading to learn more.

 

Japanese-Style Bedroom

Japanese-Style Bedroom

[60×60] 6186P

The Japanese have long been known to focus on simplicity and elegance. Together, these two elements of design can bring about something wholly unique, despite its more traditional roots. Now, Japanese-inspired rooms have become a facet of modern interior design. There has now been a departure from the typical colors like red, yellow, gold, pink, and brown. Instead, you’ll want to turn your attention towards styling with these gorgeous gray matte tiles from Floor Center.

It’s easy to combine this dark tile color with other design elements that appear more visually-striking or vibrant. To achieve your desired look, you definitely want to add tell-tale elements of Japanese design. Think wooden louvered room dividers and a low platform bed for greater emphasis. If you want to add fixtures, some great choices would be a small side table, or your choice of custom-mounted shelves, giving the appearance of both exquisiteness and simplicity.

 

Bright Yellow Bathroom

You’re probably thinking that yellow isn’t necessarily on the list of most popular bathroom colors. While that may be true, this doesn’t mean that you can’t change that fact. It’s all about keeping this simple and making sure that you don’t overuse this bright shade.

If you’re planning to redecorate a bathroom that’s a bit smaller in size compared to the average, then these gorgeous yellow border tiles will be your best friend. For this look, you definitely want to go traditional. Sure you can add your own contemporary flair to it, but the yellow color ultimately works best in the other setting.

Some suggestions would be for you to focus on your bathroom area or the shower room. The yellow border tiles work as an effective contrast against the whitewashed look of the space.

You should also turn your attention towards other fixtures, like your vanity mirrors, lighting, and cabinets. Adding that piece of trimming or flanking your mirror with beautiful sconces lighting might just do the trick.

 

Contemporary Kitchen

Gray is arguably one of the most versatile colors for interior design. While it does have a reputation for being bland, it has made a name for itself alongside metal furniture and light wood elements in the contemporary movement.

Now you’ll have the chance to come up with a lavish-looking kitchen that will no doubt be worthy of landing on the pages of interior design magazines. But to fully commit to this style, you’ll want to stick to certain conventions.

For example, stainless steel kitchen appliances, light wood cabinets, cupboards, and dedicated countertops should highlight your kitchen. For your storage spaces, you can opt for customized shelving, but you could also go with slab cabinet doors that have clean lines and coated metal handles. Make the entire arrangement livelier by adding in your choice of small indoor plants like herbs or aloe vera.

 

Natural Stone Living Room

For this interior look, you’re challenged with combining the two Colors of The Year to create an effortless design. No, you don’t need to paint your entire wall yellow and your floors gray — instead, try to find accent pieces that come in those colors.

As you may notice from the image, the living room space makes use of a natural stone-look pattern for the flooring and strikes of gray for the walls. Incorporating a simple piece of yellow furniture in the middle will effortlessly make the space pop out.

While you can also find your own yellow furniture, it’s truly up to your preferences on how you want to add that hint of yellow. Why not throw in wall art in there? How about a coffee table with a vibrant yellow centerpiece? There are tons of objects that you can mix and match with. There’s no doubt that they’ll definitely get the job done.

 

Key Takeaway

Designing with the Color of the Year for 2021 can be a tough challenge. While you might be tempted to just add gray to everything for the Ultimate Gray experience, there’s still the matter of how you can seamlessly integrate Illuminating Yellow.

With this simple guide, however, you’ve discovered a few key tips and tricks on styling with these two colors. Use them to your advantage to come up with a Japanese-inspired space, contemporary kitchen, an aesthetically-appealing bathroom, or even a simple natural stone-look living room.

Your kitchen cabinets and shelves, on the other hand, can arrive in a flat-panel look or any customized modern furniture that you can think of. Come up with a finished kitchen look that you definitely won’t want to miss out on.

At first, the idea of whitewashing your kitchen might not be something that you’re inclined to do — and who can blame you? The kitchen is where you’ll be doing most of the cooking and cleaning. You’ll definitely consider the occasional tough stains and grimy surface that can leave an obvious, spotty surface.

However, an all-white kitchen isn’t necessarily something that you should be afraid of. Instead, take this opportunity to come up with a clean, spotless, and most of all, beautiful kitchen design that you can be proud of.

Start off by choosing white-painted wooden storage spaces for your shelves and cabinets. Add a striking contrast to the white hues by mixing in some light wood countertops — you can play around with different stains like ash, white oak, or alder which you can varnish to your preference.

 

Grayscale

If you’ve always wanted to create a grayscale kitchen, then you can certainly do so, as long as you know how to work with such a versatile design. Take note that this color is all about subtlety and nuances. It strikes the perfect balance for a relaxing and gorgeous kitchen space that just feels like home.

In this kitchen look, you can focus on various neutral and gray colors. It just gives off such a balanced and calming vibe that’s pleasing to the sight.

To achieve the look, try combining wooden and stainless steel/metal elements. It may be the perfect time to buy a new stainless steel refrigerator or range hood for your burner or induction stove. You can also include a small white dining nook with matching wooden-metal stools for seating.

 

Italian-Inspired

This Italian-inspired kitchen is every bit as wonderful as you can imagine. There’s simply nothing like having your own kitchen space that’s reminiscent of 19th-century spaces. You’ll definitely get a phantom whiff of all the delicious meals that have been invented in such humble, yet lively sanctuaries.

With this design, customization is key. Add a fun, wall-mounted condiment rack where you can put all kinds of shakers. Attach it to a beautifully-tiled glossy wall that comes in a light brown or beige color.

Choosing large format tiles for your living room is a great way of maximizing its space. There’s just something about large format tiles that can wholly transform your space into something different altogether. If you have the right 60×60 tiles for your living room, then achieving your dream look has never been easier.

From exquisite terrazzo-patterned tiles to the classic salt & pepper design, listed below are the styles that you’ll definitely want to check out for any living room redesign. Read on to learn more.

 

Grey Terrazzo Look

Grey Terrazzo Look

[60×60] P127-7

Unlike real terrazzo, you don’t need a professional to help you design with these gorgeous grey terrazzo-look tiles. This is the practical — albeit stylish — alternative to expensive terrazzo flooring that can be expensive in the long run. The P127-7 sports a matte, non-slip finish which also makes it the best choice for the industrial-style living room of your dreams.

When designing with this tile, it’s always a good idea to combine it with timeless elements of the industrial design movement. It may be a good time to think about what kind of aspects you’ll follow — is it the brick masonry structures? Exposed beams? Customized bookends? Complete your artistic choices by choosing colors in the same palette — grey, light grey, black, or white to really emphasize your dedication to this type of style.

Whether you choose one or a combination of these tell-tale features of industrial interiors, you’ll definitely end up with a living room that pays homage to warehouse-style apartments in late 19th century New York City.

 

Natural Stone Look

Sometimes, less is more. This is certainly true if you want to achieve a minimalist living room with the natural stone P141-1 tile. Although at first glance, it may appear bleak in color — the dark grey, natural stone appearance might not really catch your eye — but it’s the best choice to make your other fixtures and living room decor pop up.

For low-height living rooms, the P141-1 gives the illusion of loftiness or height, so it’s ideal to install columns of this tile on your walls. Now, you can already get into the nitty-gritty of minimalism.

You don’t want to oversaturate your living room with tons of decorations and artwork — focus on a single, massive piece that really matches the vibe of the room. As for the furniture, choose a piece that sports a vibrant color to contrast the predominantly-grey interiors of the area.

 

Light Brown Wood Design

[60×60] QG26303

The most distinct feature about the QG26303 tile is the wood-like appearance that gives it a rustic and cozy feel. You certainly want the living room to be the most comfortable aspect of your home, making this the most suitable tile to give off that vibe.

For lovers of contemporary or modern-chic designs, this faux wood 60×60 tile is the perfect complement to subtle living rooms that are not riddled with bright colors. Instead, there is an emphasis on lighter and subtler hues that are cool, calm, and relaxing to the sight.

With a modern chic design, you definitely want to keep it simple. Choose accents that have a sleek and clean-cut look about them. It’s also wise to add some space, for example, by adding unique wall niches for design and functionality.

 

Salt and Pepper Style

[60×60] M116

As the name suggests, this salt and pepper style takes inspiration from a culinary staple. Similar to the condiment combination that you’re all too familiar with, the M116’s unique salt-and-pepper look just adds a whole new flavor and spice to your new living room redesign.

This tile has a versatile design, so don’t be afraid to experiment with a look that suits you. Choose lighting fixtures, furniture, or custom-built accents that have fun and vibrant colors. Don’t limit yourself to textbook shades — you have the freedom to define how well you want to incorporate this tile in any living room style category that you want.

 

Polished Cream

[60×60] V-D

A contemporary living room interior isn’t really difficult to realize once you have the right tile with you. While this V-D polished cream-colored tile looks unassuming, it’s nevertheless a must-have for any contemporary space.

To match the cream colors, you’ll want to choose fixtures that have a much darker shade like black, dark beige, or hazelnut. Add a bit of flair to the entire living room by choosing a stunning centerpiece — be it a beautiful indoor plant or any awe-inspiring decor that will catch people’s attention as soon as they enter the room

 

Key Takeaway

In this list, you’ve discovered some of the most beautiful 60×60 tiles for your living room. Patterned styles like terrazzo, natural stone, or wood-look designs are great for coming up with a specific stylistic living room category. However, there are choices for those who prefer to keep it simple — you may want to check out the polished cream and the salt and pepper-style tile better.
