Bring Out the Classics

The history of tile designs easily coincides with the history of architecture and interior design. Thus, some of the oldest tile designs—some dating back 200 years ago—are still relatively famous today because of their timeless appeal.

The most common example of classic tile designs would be the use of the herringbone pattern where tiles are laid out diagonally, in a staggered zigzag. Good news is, some tiles already have this pattern printed on the actual tile surface so no need to manually arrange!

Make it Rustic and Refined

Having a rustic design relies heavily on creating a feel of antiquity and relevance. Perfect examples of tiles that showcase this are terracotta and matte tiles with a color. This color should really highlight a bit of the ruggedness in a room. For inspiration, here’s FC Floor Center’s [30X60] I-360:

A Play on Mosaics

When it comes to bathrooms, a popular tile design nowadays is to create artworks with mosaic tiles (which are usually made of glass). Remember that glass tiles are more impervious to water (they don’t absorb liquid!) than porcelain; you won’t have to worry about your tiles getting damaged due to moisture!

Most of the time, mosaic tiles are very small and can be put in different patterns depending on your tastes and as accents; make use of this characteristics to create amazing masterpieces all over your bathroom! With that, you won’t settle with a bathroom that feels almost neglected. Instead, you can create a personal space with a quirky personality!

Relish in Uniformity

Relish in Uniformity

The last tile design idea that will definitely show a semblance of elegance is the use of uniformity. It’s found in minimalist designs as the grid pattern depends on tiles being laid out evenly to stand out. It can be found in classic tile designs, especially those designs that rely on grids, or unique patterns to bring out the best of it!
