- Keep it timeless with subway tile accents
Spruce up the heart of the home with Glister Polished Clear Silver Glass Subway Wall Tile.
It’s the return to the classics and subway tile is a coveted choice. This New York City’s iconic feature is exactly what’s needed to keep things clean, bright, and stylish. Inject handmade character with a textured tile or a pristine touch with a smooth, polished finish.
If you desire more of a unique design, think about installation with a fresh eye. Give classic subway tile a twist with a vertical stack layout to create an illusion of height—or a horizontal stack to widen the walls of a compact kitchen. For an even greater style impact, stretch up your design to the ceiling.
- Go half and half for subtle intrigue
The Gray Linear Glass Mosaic Floor and Wall Tile, in our eyes, is one of the most beautiful wall tiles we’ve seen.
Laying tiles on the lower half of the wall and a different finish on the upper half can pack a huge design punch. Color combinations can be as bold as you like but pairing light and dark hues has the staying power to look stunning forever. Consider a matching tile trim to give your wall design a nice closing detail.
- Choose big and modern for a lasting impression
One look at the Sothis Textured Beige Porcelain Rectangle Tile and you instantly feel the story, the craftsmanship, and the timeless flair.
For a finish that transforms the kitchen from predictable to extraordinary, few compare to large-format tiles. Big, bold, and beautiful, they’re the type of tiles that can be laid on walls and extended to the floor to achieve a seamless, modern look with extra depth.
- Bring the outside in through flooring
Looking for subtle character? Blue and Beige Matte Finished Subway Recycled Glass Mosaic Tile delivers stylish yet liveable interiors.
When it comes to flooring, there’s been a shift toward nature-inspired textures with an inherent warmth. Wood effect and stone-look tiles mimic the real thing to perfection while keeping it easy to clean. More impressive is their unfussy design that lends a modern-rustic vibe easy to live with.
- Turn the kitchen island into a showpiece
Dazzle with the enchanting beauty of Gray Hexagon Glass and Marble Polished and Etched Mosaic Tile. The combination of materials adds a truly spectacular finish.
Not limited to just floors and walls, tile can go everywhere! Jazz up your kitchen with an island design brimming with flair. Statement tile on one side or around it can accentuate the style factor in a neutral space. If you like, use the same glass tiles for kitchen backsplashes on the island to create a cohesive finish. Don’t shy away from going all-out and covering every inch. Visual treat is the word of the day, here!
