Gone are the days when tile was a standard 12×12 and only used on the kitchen and bathroom floor. Homeowners are discovering new, creative ways to use tile throughout their homes, from adding to an accent wall in the bedroom to creating a statement art piece — the possibilities are endless! Not only does tile installation add value to your home, it is also a durable, long-lasting, easily maintainable option compared to laminate and carpet.
Don’t be afraid to go big and use color!
According to an article from the National Association of Realtors (“Hot Home Trend: Go Big With Your Tile”), homeowners are experimenting with larger tile sizes, giving the illusion of a larger space while adding a more modern feel.
Here are some tips on where to get creative with your tile!
Fireplace
Tile from floor to ceiling if possible to create the appearance of a higher ceiling. This also calls attention to the fireplace, making it the focal point for the room.
Kitchen Backsplash
Don’t be afraid to use color and shapes in your kitchen backsplash. This adds character and a unique look to a space traditionally dominated by 3×6 subway tiles & stone mosaics.
Luxurious Bathrooms
A luxurious bathroom adds tremendous value to your home and gives you the added benefit of a tranquil spa feeling in the privacy of your own home.
