Geometric Tile in Mosaics

Geometric tiling isn’t just for backsplashes anymore. Today gorgeous custom tiling is used to accent walls, floors, tables and countertops, and any other surface you can imagine.
We love this growing trend that’s adding big personality to our homes and transforming the way we see design. Here are our favorite ways to incorporate geometric tiles into your home or office design.

Incorporate large-scale patterns and mosaics for a bold effect that won’t go unnoticed.

Large patterns can be subtle too. It’s easy to see why the arabesque shape is so popular—its elegant lines take the edge off the repeating geometric pattern, adding a touch of softness driven home by the pearlescent finish.

Intricate patterns give a seamless look from afar, but reveal surprising details upon closer inspection. Set the look off with a little shimmer or a pop of color.

3. Go Dimensional!
Texture can add sophistication or even playfulness to a design. It’s a clever and unexpected way to add smart, subtle detail, and works well for classic designs in need of a little update.
