Accent, Trim and Border Tile

If you’re searching for a way to add color and texture to your home, look no further than accent tile designs. With a huge variety of materials, colors and designs, decorative tile can fit seamlessly with any décor theme. If you’re hesitant to spend a huge amount of money to fully tile your entire bathroom or kitchen, tile designs will give you the biggest bang for your buck. Even if you decide to incorporate tile onto every vertical surface, you can complement more expensive accent tiles with a less expensive tile style.

When it comes to bathroom accent tile, try adding a horizontal stripe in your shower or along the wall behind your sink for a unique pop of color,. If you crave a sense of height in your space, switch up the horizontal tiles with a vertical approach. These colorful stripes will pop even more if paired with clean, white tiles. You can also create a sense of depth with a large, tall rectangle of colored accent tiles. Try placing these on the wall of your shower where your faucet controls are, or, if your bathroom is narrow with the shower at the very end, on the wall that faces the doorway. If your shower or bathtub area includes a niche for bottles and scrubbers, try placing this brilliant burst of color there.

Your kitchen doesn’t need to feel left out. A colorful or unique backsplash can transform a boring kitchen into a fun, friendly atmosphere. Unique tile shapes can accentuate a modern kitchen, and authentic, hand-painted Moroccan or Mexican tile can add layers of rustic or global style.
