In the past few years, bold tile statements have become a major trend, which we absolutely love! All sorts of patterns, colors, and designs have come into the spotlight, making homes look anything but ordinary. With tile, you can go as fun or simplistic as you would like. However, since tile is like art, you definitely have the ability to use it as a statement piece in your home. This can be scary if you are afraid of your statement being too much for your space. There are different ways, however, in which you can add bold tile without it overpowering your space.

A great way to highlight your bold tile as an art piece is by pairing it with a more traditional, simple tile. This way, the statement tile is not overwhelming, and you are able to easily focus on that chosen tile. For example, if your statement tile has a busy pattern, maybe use a simple glazed tile for its pairing. Or if your statement tile is a bright color, maybe mix it with a neutral tone.

A bold statement doesn’t have to mean bright colors. Not everyone is a huge fan of color when it comes to interior design. You can use a patterned tile with muted, neutral colors, and this will still add tons of texture to your space.

Adding a pop of color through tile can really spice up a room. By adding a fun color to a more neutral room, you are able to make a statement without it being too much. As you can see in the above picture, one of our incredible design consultants helped a client choose a beautiful green subway tile to pair with a neutral-toned bathroom. This shower does not look overwhelming since it has been paired with white floors, walls, and countertops, and a neutral vanity. While you can definitely add more color, this style makes the space still look simplistic.

We’ve been talking about how tile is art, but did you know that you can actually have art-inpired images incorporated in your tile? Who needs a canvas, when you can have tile tell a story? There are so many ways to customize your tile and make it fit your space perfectly!

If you love color, patterns, and all things bold, go ahead and embrace it! You may as well go all out and fill up your space with your favorite tile. You can use one tile throughout a room from floor to ceiling if you want. This works especially well in rooms like small bathrooms. Small spaces are perfect for adding tons of colors and patterns.

When it comes to tile, there are so many ways to create a statement. Whether you like neutral or bright colors, simple looks or patterns, there is always a way to make your home stand out. You can easily achieve a bold, one-of-kind tile statement by mixing different styles, using a patterned neutral-colored tile, adding pops of color, incorporating art-inspired tile, and simply filling up your space with a bold tile. Adding tile to your home is such a fun way of using your creative abilities. Now is the time to be bold!
