1. Up Your Game with a Stone Checkerboard

The checkerboard pattern is creating champion spaces throughout contemporary homes. We love how Timber Trails elevates this fashionable design with alternating squares of Noir and Silver Mist limestone tile. The natural veining in the stone tiles adds lovely movement–notice how the tiles are thoughtfully installed to alternate the direction of the veins. Love this design?

2. Make It Charming & Chic With Modern Farmhouse

Bring an air of exalted utility to your mudroom with a delightful cottage-inspired pattern, like the Laura Ashley Mr Jones Charcoal tile featured in this @plmdesignsllc-designed space. The barn door and blonde wooden bench complete the homey aesthetic. Check out our guide to modern farmhouse design for ideas on how to achieve this look throughout your home.

3. Add Visual Texture with a Cement Look

Cement is a staple of industrial design, but this transitional mudroom–designed by West Bay Homes–proves that this urban look can also feel warm and inviting. The Sofia Charcoal cement-look porcelain tile features rich shade variation that adds visual texture to the space. Paired with the taupe-painted cupboards, this simple tile brings an unexpected touch of sophistication. If this blend of contemporary and traditional is your style sweet spot, check our guide to transitional design.

4. Add a Neutral Pattern

Maintain a neutral palette without sacrificing style with a patterned tile in grey, brown or beige. Here, the Britannia Soho tile incorporates all three colors in an ornate design. The floor tile perfectly complements the dark grey walls, creating a contemporary mix of warm and cool neutrals.

5. Go Geometric

The diagonal lines of the Rango Taupe matte hexagon tile bring a playful sense of movement to any space. This tile can be installed in a variety of ways, depending on your desired design, but we love how @eosinteriordesign created a starburst pattern on this mudroom floor. The warm color adds depth to the white room, but you can achieve a similar look in black and white with the Rango Blanco tile.

6. Choose Stone for a Sophisticated Space

Dark and earthy, Noir limestone tile offers the unique variations inherent to stone, while its black and brown tones will hide the appearance of dirt. We love how Julie Howard of Timber Trails installed this subway tile in a brick-lay pattern to evoke a cobblestone pathway. Shop limestone tile to bring this natural look into your home, and get inspired by more of Julie’s brilliant designs in this tour of her “Storybook” Estate.

7. Embrace a Black and White Pattern

A simple black-and-white tile is the perfect complement to a range of design styles. Keep it neutral or pair it with color and pattern, like in this bright and bold space designed by @magnolialakbuild. The Cloth Black and White floor tile features a textile-inspired check pattern that holds its own against striking dark green details and floral wallpaper.

8. Add Movement with Herringbone

Classic and chic, a herringbone pattern infuses any space with an elegant sense of movement. You can create this pattern using virtually any rectangular tile: a large-format tile will make your space feel more expansive, while a subway tile or herringbone mosaic–like the Legno Large Herringbone tile shown here–adds visual interest.

9. Fill Your Space with Color and Pattern

If your home is bright and colorful, your mudroom should match the mood. This vibrant space, designed by Zig & Co., embraces the more-is-more ethos of dopamine decor. The Laura Ashley Mr Jones Midnight tile is paired with bold wallpaper, a green door and blue cupboards. The key to this design is a simplified color palette; all the elements are unified in shades of blue and green. Discover more ideas to fill your home with unending cheer in our guide to dopamine decor.

10. Create a Contemporary Classic with Hexagon Tile

This classic six-sided shape is enjoying a contemporary design resurgence. Surprisingly versatile, hexagon tile comes in a wide variety of sizes, colors and styles. Mix and match two or more same-sized hexagons to create a custom pattern or use a single tile to create a monochromatic look–like this chic Spicy Salty Sweet Home-designed mudroom featuring the Silver Hex tile.

11. Tile The Walls

Don’t forget to protect your walls! This inviting mudroom, designed by Janelle Mattson, features the Riad Sand tile for a stylish, durable and easy-to-clean wall treatment. The color variation in the creamy beige, handmade-look tile adds beautiful visual interest while perfectly complementing the tone of the off-white cabinets.

12. Embrace English Country Cottage Patterns

Embracing whimsical patterns and cheery colors, English country cottage style has made its way across the pond to enliven American homes. Here, @toledogeller shows how to incorporate the look without overwhelming the space. Featuring the Laura Ashley Wicker Charcoal floor tile, the simple black-and-white geometric pattern is beautifully paired with cornflower blue cupboards and walls. Check out our guide to English country cottage design for more styles to sweeten your home.
