Who Said Tiles Had to be Square?
Tiles can come in a huge range of materials, textures, colours and patterns. In our showroom alone you will find limestone, marble, slate, glass mosaics, granite, metallic porcelain, matt and polished porcelain, terracotta, encaustic and hand painted tiles! However the general shape of tiles has always been considered to be a regular square. Why not try something different? Here are a few original tile ideas to get you inspired.
If you’re going to stick with rectangular tiles, make sure you get some originality in the textures and materials. These natural wall tiles are very different from the usual regular, smooth and pure tiles you find in many contemporary bathrooms. Each tile is unique and layered in such a way that they fit together perfectly, whilst protruding in various styles. Giving a rustic look to your bathroom, these tiles will create a feature wall nobody can miss!
Do you want to stick with regular, smooth squares and rectangles but create something with wow factor? Make an impression by combining them in an original and impressive way. We love the retro appearance of these glossy ebony tiles adjacent to the pure and clear white sections. Asymmetrical patterns are very popular, so don’t stick with a regular sequence of tiles- mix it up a bit! The huge contrast between the ebony and white tiles creates an unforgettable contemporary feel to this bathroom.
Last but not least are these beautiful hexagonal tiles, a huge trend for 2017. With their honeycomb-esque pattern, they echo nature, whilst still evoking a futuristic feel. With their subtle yet unmissable appearance, you can fill a whole wall with these original shapes! However, as the above bathroom proves, using hexagons combined with other patterns and textures, such as smooth marble or wood-effect porcelain, can look great too.
These original tile ideas are just the tip of the iceberg. We have so many innovative and creative ideas ready to create an imaginative and individual bathroom just for you. Get in touch on 01344 627500 or drop us an email on sales@optionsstudio.co.uk.
