When renovating a home, retail space or office, most people want to do something that will make their space truly their own. This can be done in many different ways, but often the easiest and most cost-effective option is to find an eye-catching selection of tiles and use them to bring attention to a certain area of the room. Today we’re going to explore just a few of the many different ways that tile art can be used to bring a touch of individuality to your space.
Subway Style
This type of tile was made famous in New York train stations in the early 1900’s. Traditionally quite simple with only a few neutral colours to choose from, they now come in a wide range of patterns, designs and bold, bright hues. Their vintage look is perfect for any home that abides by an old-school décor theme and looks incredible tiled in the kitchen or bathroom as a full look or simply as a feature piece with more modern tiles around it.
Hardboard options
If you’re looking for a more modern look, these designs are for you. Hardboard tiles can be arranged and installed without any gaps, making it look sleek, sophisticated and perfect for displaying menus, products and photos from wall to wall. Popular amongst cafes and retail stores for its unique, often minimalist look, this newer style is sure to catch the eye of anyone who walks past.
Mix and Match
This one is for the bolder renovators amongst us. If you’re one of those people who loves a patterned tile but simply can’t decide on just one for the entire room, perhaps mixing and matching your patterns is just the style for you. Grab a whole selection of individual pieces you love and arrange them into a feature on your wall with simple tiles surrounding it to truly make it stand out.
There’s no doubting that the best thing about tile art at this point in time is the huge array of options we all have to truly renovate our private and public spaces to reflect our personalities and preferences. Soft or loud, simple or intricate- no matter what you’re looking for, there’s something for everyone.
