How a New Tile Pattern Can Transform Your Space

Implementing new tile into your home improvement project is one of the easiest ways to create an entirely new ambiance. Tile can visually alter the structure of a room, give the illusion of a brighter and larger space, and provide a brilliant focal point. At Luxe Home, we understand that choosing a new tile option can feel intimidating— there’s an endless amount of options out there! To get you feeling inspired, we created a guide to show you how different tile designs can transform absolutely any room.

Subtle Elegance

While these patterns alone may hold a lot of personality, they blend effortlessly into the space as to offer an almost unnoticed elegance.

From AKDO’s Sublime collection.

 

We love how this delicately detailed tile pattern easily flows from inside to outside that provides a charming background to this otherwise simple interior.

With details that match both the paint color on the walls and the countertop surface, this pattern is simple but offers just enough detail that appears smart and stylish.

Swanky & Colorful

You don’t have to shy away from color! Choosing a bold hue or ornate pattern to replace a plain wall can provide a dash of energy and a focal point to your space. We love how this approach can allow you to keep the rest of the room design and decor simple.

Redefining

Besides providing dazzle and flair, implementing tile in your home improvement project can expand a room’s functionality and completely morph your space into something entirely new.

In this particular example, AKDO’s popular Arcadia porcelain tile mimics the intricate detail of wood grain, but also resists scratching and scuffing better than traditional hardwood. Porcelain tile is great for the entire floor of your home; you don’t have to worry about water damage in the bathroom. We have this exact flooring installed in our showroom in downtown Lafayette! Our designers often remark how much they love the quality and functionality of this tile. Have we mentioned how easy it is to clean? It’s also pet-friendly; big dogs’ nails can do some serious damage to wood flooring, but tile is impervious.

Classically Chic

From Herringbone to Hexagons to Subway tile, there are countless ways to accomplish a traditional American aesthetic in your home. Below are some of our favorite timelessly chic options to inspire you.

Introduced in 1904, the Subway tile captivated thousands of New Yorkers and has since swept the nation with its straight lines and urban appeal. Part of the desirability of Subway tile is that you can choose any size and spacing or even change the direction to fit the creative goals of your room.
