unusual tiling ideas
Are you looking to add some unusual designer details to your home but don’t know where to start? We’ve got some ideas just for you, and they’re all about tiles.
The tiled bookcase:
Make your built-ins bold with a tiled backing, fascia, or shelves. Give them the appearance of being crafted from stone or marble with all-over tiling, create a Mediterranean look by pairing white paint with terracotta or hand-crafted-look tiles, or simply choose a pattern, colour, or shape that you like and go with it.
The tiled windowsill:
Add punchy colour, playful motifs, or elegant accents to plain, uninspiring windowsills … and make a joyful space for potted plants, sculptures, mementoes, nicknacks, books, and candles. Opt for a feature contrast colour, pair the tones with your existing decor, pick a delightful pattern, or get a rustic look with limestone or slate effects.
The tiled welcome matt:
Do you have a small space just before your front or back door that could use a little something? Maybe that little something could be a tiled welcome matt. Laid directly into the floor, easy to clean, and welcoming visitors with instant personality, this small feature is one you get to enjoy day in day out. Choose an old-school Victorian design to match your home, explore the magic of mosaic, get creative with colour, try transcendent trencadis in single or multi-colours shards, or go sleek with stone.
The tiled coffee table:
Are you a DIY lover constantly on the lookout for your next project? The tiled coffee table could be the one for you. Up-cycle any existing piece you have — or find a bargain at a thrift store — and make it into a one-of-a-kind work of art with a tiled top. Opt for the delicate designs of a mosaic, pick a perfect pattern, or stick with something classic like a subway: whatever style you’re into, this small scale project is one you can love forever.
The tiled riser:
That small vertical space on your staircase between steps is made to be turned into something fun, so why not tile it? A tiled riser adds instant drama and elevates your space to look designed and deliberate. Find the perfect tile to complement your interior, or make use of the risers to add subtle yet satisfying colour to a neutral space. This is truly great was to use mix & match tiles, so why not visit your local National Tiles outlet and shop for some bin end bargains?
