You don’t need a large space to create a welcoming entryway. From elegant marble and marble looks to stylish patterns, these nine small-space tile ideas will help your home make a great first impression.

1. Small Entryway Tile Floor Ideas

Your front door likely sees a lot of traffic, which is why durable, easy-to-clean and low-maintenance porcelain tile is a great option for your foyer floor. Available in nearly any style you can imagine, porcelain tile can withstand whatever you and your family–human and furry–throw at it. This homey entryway features the Baltimore Gris Wood Look tile; its realistic woodgrain details make it an excellent choice for maintaining the natural character of your home. For more durable hardwood alternatives, shop our vast assortment of wood-look tile.

2. Make a Bold Statement Wall

Whether bold and graphic or soft and floral, a patterned tile showcases your personality while protecting your walls from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The Nikki Chu Tangier Graphic tile is inspired by the celebrity designer’s popular wallpaper. Made of porcelain, this graphic patterned tile is as durable as it is chic–perfect for stylish households with pets or kids. Shop our wide assortment of patterned tile to find a design that’s uniquely you.

3. Embrace an Earthy Palette

Create a warm, welcoming atmosphere with soothing earth-toned neutrals. This serene entryway features the rich brown Organic Clay Taupe wall tile and the soft, brick-look Jerica Ceniza floor tile. The slightly textured tiles enhance the space’s organic appeal. Shop our collection of brown and beige tiles to achieve this nature-inspired look.

4. Choose Stone-Look for Durable Luxury

If you love the luxurious look of natural stone but want a low-maintenance material that can withstand heavy foot traffic, durable, easy-to-clean marble-look porcelain or ceramic is the perfect solution. This stylish entryway, designed by House of Shima, features the Keystone Grey tile. The striking grey and white veining creates a sense of movement that complements both the cool grey of the table and the warm brown wooden stairs and banister.

5. Small Entryway Foyer Tile Ideas

The entrance to your home doesn’t need to be grand to make an impact. Here, the Star tile creates visual separation between the foyer and the rest of the house. The folk art-inspired pattern is whimsical and homey, providing a moment of levity between the grand door and the hardwood floor that extends down the hall.

6. Keep it Classy With Black-and-White Tile

Like a well-tailored tuxedo, black-and-white tile exudes style and sophistication. This sleek and chic room, designed by Haus of Rowe, features the Laura Ashley Wicker Charcoal floor tile. The dainty, abstract florals add a touch of playfulness to this formal space. Shop black-and-white tile for more classy design options.

7. Choose Tumbled Marble for Rustic Luxury

Want a luxurious look with a bit of an edge? Tumbled marble, like the Meram Blanc Carrara tile shown here, is a high-end stone that has been tumbled with rocks to give it a uniquely rugged appearance. Shop marble tile for a wide assortment of tumbled finishes.

8. Win Your Design With Checkerboard

Checkerboard is a classic design that doesn’t require much space to create a big sensation. This elegant foyer features a checkerboard pattern made of Hampton Carrara and Black Marquina marble, but you can achieve this highly versatile look with any two complementary colored or patterned square tiles.

9. Create a Breezy Coastal Chic Design

The Laura Ashley Wicker Sea Spray tile sets the tone for this coastal-inspired space, designed by Timber Trails. Bright whites and wicker accents complete the beachy vibe, making this the perfect entryway to a stylish, laid-back home.

Tile for Every Style: Japandi https://tileshopblog.wpengine.com/tile-for-every-style-japandi/ https://tileshopblog.wpengine.com/tile-for-every-style-japandi/#respond Fri, 24 Jan 2025 16:10:54 +0000 https://tileshopblog.wpengine.com/?p=11189 Combining the Japanese concept of wabi-sabi (finding beauty in simplicity and imperfection) with the Scandinavian concept of hygge (the feeling...

The post Tile for Every Style: Japandi appeared first on The Tile Shop Blog.

]]>
Combining the Japanese concept of wabi-sabi (finding beauty in simplicity and imperfection) with the Scandinavian concept of hygge (the feeling of comfort and coziness), “Japandi” is an aesthetically pleasing and highly functional minimalist design style. Though it has experienced a recent renaissance, this East-meets-West style dates back to the 1850s, when Japan opened its borders to the world and Danish explorers became enamored with the country’s artistry and design. Read on to discover eight ways to incorporate this earthy, organic and calming design style into every room of your home.

1. Maintain a Minimalist Palette

Minimalism is a key tenet of Japandi design, and the right tile can help you maintain a tranquil, uncluttered space. A soft neutral tile is a great base to your design, allowing you to layer in other colors and materials. This bathroom features the Lanse Matte White Picket tile, pairing the crisp white tile with metallic gold accents and a soft grey sink. Though this space has few adornments, the mix of vertical and diagonal lines in the picket tile adds interest and a sense of movement.

2. Incorporate Greenery

Japandi emphasizes a connection with the natural world, and incorporating plants and other natural elements into your design will help create a sense of serenity. Soft, earthy greens function as a neutral color, and nature-inspired decor–when used sparingly–is encouraged. The Morris & Co. Hawkdale Willow Olive tile features elegant leaf designs that are both decorative and minimalist. Pair this tile with the corresponding Hawkdale Pure Chalk tile to add neutral space between the designs.

Order $3 samples.

3. Choose Warm Neutrals

The Scandinavian concept of hygge refers to the feeling of coziness and contentment, which is incorporated into Japandi through warm colors and materials. This cozy nook, designed by Christy Bloom Design & Build, features the Laura Ashley Wicker Dove Grey tile. The soft greige coloring complements the wooden cabinets for a soothing and inviting space. Shop brown and beige tiles to achieve this warm neutral aesthetic.

4. Embrace Imperfections

The Japanese concept of wabi-sabi celebrates the imperfect–the very quality that makes our authentic Zellige tile so compelling. Each tile is crafted, glazed and painted by hand, resulting in a unique look from piece to piece. With Japandi’s emphasis on handmade and authentic materials, Zellige tile perfectly encapsulates its ethos, however, if you’re interested in a tile that’s a little more uniform (and affordable), check out our wide selection of handmade-look tile.

This elegant shower features white square-shaped handmade tile and brass fixtures.

5. Use Wood-Look Tile for a Natural Appearance

While authentic materials are essential to Japandi design, they might not be practical for every space in your home. Hardwood is commonly associated with Japandi, but to get this aesthetic in high-traffic or damp areas, wood-look tile is a great alternative. This serene shower features the Nidus Decor Mix tile. The blonde wood look and textured surface (which would be difficult to replicate in real wood) create the soothing atmosphere expected in Japandi but in a material suited to the space.

6. Combine Rustic and Refined Elements

Achieve a look that seamlessly combines the rustic Scandinavian aesthetic with the grace and elegance of Japanese style, with natural stone. The veining inherent to marble, slate and travertine creates a one-of-a-kind character that embodies the spirit of Japandi design. This living room, designed by Esslinger Design Co., features the Legno Geometric tile on the fireplace surround. The architectural style stone mosaic provides texture, while the naturally occurring color variation gives this space authentic visual interest.

7. Use Texture

Since Japandi mostly adheres to a warm neutral color palette, texture is key to creating interest to your space. A fluted, or 3D tile, adds a tactile element to your walls that will stimulate the senses while providing a unique visual element. This tranquil entryway features the Khali Flash Off White tile, the subtle pattern of soft, flowing raised lines adds depth to the space, with a design that changes effect as light moves through the room.

Featuring: Khali Flash Off White.

8. Embrace Elegant Symmetry

Japandi favors clean lines and symmetry for a sense of harmony. Subway tile arranged in straight vertical or horizontal stacks, or neatly aligned mosaics like the Home Kit-Kat Milk tile used in this kitchen, designed by Yellow Brick Home, will achieve this aesthetic. The long, skinny tiles of this handmade-look mosaic form smooth horizontal and vertical lines, giving this space an orderly feel, while the slight variations in color and texture between the pieces provide an organic appeal.

With colors ranging from black to rust, slate tile is popular for its rustic look and natural surface variation. The Adoni Black tile shown here has a natural grey tone that elevates this laundry room, while the colored veining adds a sense of movement that softens the space.

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. Shop our vast selection of square tile to achieve this (or a more traditional two-tone checkerboard) look.

For our final Year In Review roundup, we’re looking back at the top-selling tiles of the year across 10 of our most popular categories. Read on to discover customer favorites, including floor, marble, subway and more!

Floor Tile: Quarry Grey Field

This no-nonsense tile is a favorite for commercial and outdoor spaces. Unlike our other man-made porcelain and ceramic tiles, this tile is unglazed, making it less likely to show chips and scratches. If you’re looking for a cost-effective and durable tile for a high-traffic mudroom or patio, the Quarry Grey Field tile (also available in Red) is an excellent choice. Shop our vast selection of floor tile to find the style to fit your space.

Featuring: Quarry Grey Field.

Marble-Look Tile: Tresana White Polished

One of our most popular categories, marble-look tile combines the luxurious beauty of natural stone with the durability and easy maintenance of porcelain and ceramic tiles. This year, warm-toned marble looks–like the Tresana White tile with its subtle brown veining–were among your favorites.

Subway Tile: Imperial Bianco Gloss

White subway tile remains an interior design staple, so it’s no surprise that the Imperial Bianco Gloss tile topped the category. This sleek, chic subway tile is versatile enough to complement a range of design styles, like this bathroom, designed by Jessica Bigham, which pays homage to 1930s Hollywood. Shop our wide selection of subway tile to find styles to fit your space, whether contemporary, retro or anything in between.

Handmade-Look Tile: Tribeca Gypsum White

Perfectly imperfect handmade-look tile mimics the uneven surface and tonal variations found in authentic handmade tiles but at a fraction of the cost. The greater consistency from tile to tile also makes installation easier. With its warm white color and worn edges, the chic Tribeca Gypsum White tile–inspired by the trendy Manhattan neighborhood of Tribeca–was your favorite artisanal-style tile of 2024.

Mosaic Tile: Hex Matte White with Black Flower

The retro-inspired Hex Matte with Black Flower tile was your favorite mosaic of the year, and we can see why! This funky, versatile tile pairs with so many styles and colors, offering a wealth of design possibilities–whether for an all-black-and-white space (like this graphic shower) or as a backsplash in a kitschy kitchen.

Luxury Vinyl Flooring: Timber Ridge Cashmere

A favorite among DIYers, luxury vinyl flooring is available in a variety of easy-to-install wood-, stone- and cement-look planks and tiles. The Timber Ridge Cashmere features realistic woodgrain details characteristic of high-quality wood-look luxury vinyl flooring, making it a perfect option for great rooms, kitchens or mudrooms.

This overhead floor shot features a beautiful blonde wood-look floor.
Featuring: Timber Ridge Cashmere.

Marble: Arctic White

Continuing the 2024 trend for warm neutrals, the Arctic White Brushed 12″ x 24″ tile topped the marble category. This extremely rare stone, sourced from a single Turkish quarry, is a Tile Shop exclusive. Use this tile to create a lush, luxurious design in your great room, kitchen or bathroom–like this opulent spa bath designed by Annie Selke. For more beautiful and unique looks, shop our wide selection of marble tile.

Slate: Adoni Black

Perfect for rustic outdoor installations or for adding natural texture to contemporary bathrooms or kitchens, slate remains one of our most popular stone tiles. The dark and expressive Adoni Black slate 8″ x 24″ was the fan-favorite slate tile. Shown here in the small Versailles pattern, this stone tile features ridge-like striations that create a distinct earthy texture. Shop our full assortment of slate tile to find organic looks for your space.

Travertine Tile: Legno

Travertine is a type of limestone formed by mineral springs. Available in a range of shades–from brown to beige to black–travertine tile features bold veining and color variations, creating rich, expressive designs. The top-selling Legno 12″ x 24″ tile, with its warm beige and white tones, showcases the softer side of this natural stone

Trim Tile: Hampton Carrara Polished Somerset

A Somerset (a Tile Shop-exclusive trim piece similar to a pencil trim, but with a rounded edge) provides a sleek transition between two surfaces–whether between two tiles or between a tile and a painted wall. The Tile Shop specially sources trim pieces, including Somersets, to coordinate with our most popular stone tile collections. The Hampton Carrara polished Somerset will complete your Hampton Carrara tile design or add a stylish accent to ceramic, porcelain or glass tile, as demonstrated in this beautiful bathroom. Finish your tile design with our wide selection of trim tile, available in a variety of styles and materials.
