9. Create an Elevated Modern Farmhouse Aesthetic

Cozy and chic, modern farmhouse design connects you to the tradition of living off the land, even if you’re settled in the suburbs.

12. Use a Small Hex Tile to Create a Dotted Pattern

This well-ordered laundry room, designed by @prettyhouseproject, features a small hex tile backsplash. The 1” x 1” Hex Gloss White tile creates a dotted effect, adding interest to this monochromatic space. Choose any small hexagon-shaped tile or penny round tile to achieve this look.

13. Protect Your Wall With a Backsplash

Guard your walls against splashes and spills with a tiled backsplash. A glass tile, like the Glass Burlap Subway tile shown here, provides an easy-to-clean surface, making mishaps with the detergent less of a headache. Shop our wide selection of glass tile to find a look that reflects your style.

14. Use a Neutral Palette for a Serene Space

Neutrals add a sense of tranquility to your space, making even a chore a calming activity. Here, the Hampton Carrara Hex tile features an elegant mix of warm beige and cool grey veining on a crisp white background. The mix of warm and cool neutrals creates a contemporary palette that complements a variety of colors and styles.

15. Embrace English Cottage Charm

The whimsical patterns featured in our Laura Ashley collection perfectly suit a range of popular cottage-core styles, from English Country Cottage to the trending Granny Chic.

16. Use a Marble-Look Tile for an Elegant & Durable Floor

Add texture to your walls with a sculptural or 3-D wall tile. The Flow 1 Greige tile used for the walls in this traditional-style laundry room adds a stylish pattern that will appear to change as the light moves through the room.

19. Mix Your Darks and Lights

You wouldn’t think of mixing your lights and darks together in the washer, but a black-and-white patterned tile can enliven your laundry room floor. We love how the Laura Ashley Wicker Charcoal tile brings bold design to this simple space. Shop our wide selection of black-and-white tile for more chic and unique designs. 

20. Break Out the Plaid

A checkerboard tile floor is a design win, but if you want to add an extra element to your room, try adding squares in a third color. This black, white and grey tile floor is classy and fun and the simple color scheme keeps this small space looking clean and orderly.

Wood-Look Tile Pros

Superior Durability

No need to worry about splinters–wood-look porcelain and ceramic tiles can withstand the wear and tear of everyday living for years, even in high-traffic areas. These man-made tiles are made from clay and fired in a kiln at high temperatures, making them resistant to scuffs and scratches from shoes, pets and furniture.

Easy Maintenance

Tile makes cleanup a breeze! Porcelain and ceramic wood-look tiles require little more than a mop, broom or vacuum to keep them looking like new. Unlike hardwood, porcelain and ceramic tiles don’t require regular sanding or refinishing. While you will need to clean the grout periodically, the materials are relatively inexpensive, and the process is easy to do on your own.

Water Resistance

Porcelain tile offers superior water resistance, making it ideal for areas where wood isn’t typically used, such as bathrooms and showers. It’s also an excellent choice for outdoor spaces, as its high-density composition can withstand the elements, even in regions with freeze-thaw conditions. Note: Always check the manufacturer’s recommendations for outdoor tile installation.

Style

Man-made wood-look tile offers styles you won’t find in nature, including patterns, colors and surface textures. For example, the current trend of fluted wood-look tile features raised “fluted” surfaces, adding a tactile element to your design. The textured wood look is becoming increasingly popular for walls, especially shower walls, due to its ability to stimulate the senses and create a stronger connection with nature.

Cost

The Tile Shop offers wood-look porcelain and ceramic tiles for under $3 per sq. ft., while natural hardwood typically ranges from $5 to $15 per sq. ft. If cost is a consideration in your renovation, consider durable and easy-to-install luxury vinyl flooring, which offers a wide range of wood-look styles starting at just $1.79 per sq. ft.

Wood-Look Tile Cons

Authenticity

While technological advances have made the wood-grain details on tile nearly indistinguishable from the real thing, it still doesn’t fully replicate the natural look and texture of hardwood. However, wood-look tile is a great option for extending your wood design from the great room to high-traffic, high-spill or damp areas like a mudroom, kitchen or bathroom.

Installation

The tools and materials needed to lay tile (and the possible cost of hiring a professional) may make installation more expensive than hardwood. However, for a low-cost, DIY-friendly alternative, consider wood-look luxury vinyl flooring, which offers many of the same benefits as porcelain and ceramic tile but with easier installation.

Updating your space is easier than you think! Shop our wide assortment of wood-look tile to find your perfect style. Want to tackle your reno yourself? We have a vast resource of How-To Articles to help you every step of the way.

The post Year In Review: Top 10 Bathrooms of 2024 appeared first on The Tile Shop Blog.

Today, “boho” style embodies the spirit of its carefree beginnings. Bold patterns, global influences and layered textures create spaces that celebrate an artistic and worldly sensibility. Whether you’re drawn to bright colors or neutrals, visually rich or serene spaces, you’ll find something to love in the modern interpretation of “boho chic.” Read on for eight expressive and inviting tile ideas to incorporate this timeless and worldly style into your space.

1. Celebrate the Antique

Vintage furniture and decor have a natural home in boho design. Incorporate this retro sensibility in tile with an antique-inspired pattern. Here, the Inlay Proper by Kelli Fontana tile, in Eden Ode and Florence Lace, is installed in a checkerboard pattern for an elegant yet whimsical arrangement. The ornate leaf motif is reminiscent of Victorian designs, creating a timeless appeal.

2. Embrace Bold Patterns

Display the artistic sensibilities at the heart of boho chic design with a bold, graphic patterned tile, like the Nikki Chu Tangier Graphite tile shown here. The geometric pattern is inspired by artwork that celebrity designer Nikki Chu encountered on her travels. The hand-drawn shapes complement the organic textures of the soft off-white fabrics and wooden shelves, creating a visually rich space that embodies this expressive aesthetic. For more graphic patterns in a range of neutral tones, shop our exclusive Nikki Chu collection.

3. Find Inspiration in Global Design

Look to classic and worldly prints and patterns to create the eclectic appeal of boho style. This gorgeous kitchen, designed by I SPY DIY, features the Annie Selke Ikat Black tile, which is inspired by traditional Indonesian tie-dye designs. The black and brown pattern resembles weathered textiles, and this visual texture complements the stunning organic and tactile elements in the room–namely the plants, woven lamp shade and wooden ceiling, shelf and countertop.

4. Use Unique Shapes

Besides pattern, a great way to add visual interest to your space is through eye-catching silhouettes. Curved, diamond-shaped and arabesque tiles demand attention with their unorthodox forms, as shown in this boho chic bar backsplash featuring the Gem by Alison Victoria tile. The scalloped edges and expressive green marble add a sense of movement to this space, and the antique appeal is heightened by the faded gold wallpaper and the glass shelves with decorative brass fixtures. Shop our wide selection of uniquely shaped tile to find a silhouette that expresses your individual style.

5. Experiment with Layouts

Lean into the unconventional aspect of boho design by creating your own bold layout. Endlessly versatile, subway tile is perfect for developing a design that’s all your own. This bathroom is a great example, featuring a unique design that alternates horizontal and vertical stacks of the Villa tile in Warm Grey Gloss and White Gloss. The result is a stand-out wall that still maintains the space’s soft neutral color scheme. We love how this wall tile pairs with the Moroccan-inspired Kasbah Cross and Star Terracotta tile floor.

6. Start with a Neutral Base

Though boho chic allows for bold patterns and bright colors, you can still express your bohemian sensibilities in more muted tones. In fact, more and more modern boho spaces are embracing a neutral color palette as a base and adding eclectic elements as accents. That’s what West Bay Homes achieved in this gorgeous beige and pink bathroom. The Legno travertine floor tile grounds this space in soft tones, while the wicker light shades, light pink cabinet details, and smooth polished marble countertop give this space the rich visual texture characteristic of boho chic design.

7. Dazzle With Jewel Tones

Another way to achieve a sleek and unique boho interior is to saturate your space with bright jewel tones. This stunning bathroom features brilliant sapphire blue throughout. The Marrakesh Blue handmade-look tile creates a color-drenched tableau that extends to matching paint across the walls and ceiling. The checkerboard shower wall adds a whimsical touch and provides a slight respite from the bold color. If you love this jewel-tone effect, shop our full assortment of blue, green and purple tile.

8. Add Texture

Pattern, material and finish can add visual texture to a space, but for a highly tactile experience, consider adding a fluted or sculptural tile. This shower features the wood-look fluted Violin Decor tile. The raised “flutes” add to the sensory experience of this space, contributing to its relaxed vibe. Much like the wicker, burlap and woven fibers characteristic of boho chic, fluted wood-look tile adds organic texture to your design.

1. Add Charm With “English Cottage” Patterns

The delicate florals and whimsical shapes of our exclusive Laura Ashley collection tiles embody the cozy charm of “English cottage” style. Here, the Wexbord tiles in Midnight and Fresh Green combine historic prints from the iconic British design company with natural hues. The results are spaces that are both bright and fun, yet as soothing as a warm cup of tea.

2. Add Softness With Curved Tile

Make waves in your kitchen with the Wave Blue Reef tile. The curved edges add softness to your design, and the tile can be installed in a variety of layouts for a personalized look. The offset pattern of this kitchen backsplash creates gentle “pillowy” lines that give this space a sense of movement.

3. Embrace Authenticity With Handcrafted Tile

Zellige tile is popular for its authentic artisanal qualities. Crafted, painted and glazed by hand, each tile is completely unique, creating natural tonal variations on your kitchen wall or backsplash. Our Zellige tiles come in a range of sizes, shapes and colors, including Azul, Turquoise, Shamrock and Dirty Blue (shown here in a petite subway).

4. Incorporate An Ornate Pattern

Gorgeous cream and weathered green come together to create this lovely lace-like pattern from Morris & Co. Inspired by iconic British designer William Morris’s historic wallpaper patterns, the Morris & Co. Pure Net Linen tile creates a soft and sophisticated space. Shop our exclusive Morris & Co. tiles for more historical designs and charming colors.

5. Infuse Your Space With Soothing “Neutral” Tones

This bright and inviting kitchen, designed by A Life Unfolding, is the perfect place to enjoy a refreshing matcha tea. The Glass Green Tea subway tile backsplash is serene enough to serve as a neutral. The color blends nicely with the blonde wood range hood and white shelving.

6. Add a Touch of Blue

You needn’t saturate your entire kitchen in blues and greens if that’s not your aesthetic. A touch of color adds visual texture to your space. This cozy “modern farmhouse” kitchen, designed by I SPY DIY, is case in point; the Look Avio tile used on the side of the kitchen island complements the neutral color scheme while standing out enough to create interest.

7. Embrace a Groovy Pattern

The mesmerizing geometric lines of the Eclipse Azul tile create a striking kitchen backsplash in this modern kitchen. Available in four distinct blue and green colorways, this tile is a homage to mid-century psychedelic style.

8. Infuse Your Space With Natural Colors

Energize your space with natural green tones like those of the lush Hackney Jade tile shown here. This vibrant, handmade-look tile features tonal variations that create movement from piece to piece. Discover more nature-inspired style ideas in our comprehensive guide to “biophilic design.”

9. Make Your Space Shine With Jewel Tones

Invigorate your space with vibrant jewel tones like emerald and sapphire. Here the bright bejeweled hue of the Canatina Blue tile creates a brilliant focal point for the stove backsplash. We love how this vintage-look tile coordinates with the eclectic elements of this kitchen; the leafy wallpaper and dark wood range hood contribute to the unique character of the space.

10. Keep It Cool With a Blue Kitchen Backsplash

The fluctuating tones of the Marrakesh Blue tile create a water-like feel for this kitchen backsplash. The handmade-look tiles vary in color and surface texture, and the glossy finish captures the light as it plays across the surface. The effect is stunning and serene. If you love this tile’s perfectly imperfect appearance, shop our wide assortment of handmade-look tile.
