3. Artisanal Handmade Looks

The stunning artisanal appeal of handmade and handmade-look tile infuses your space with vibrant visual texture.

4. Abstract Patterns

6. Bright Bold and Geometric

Add dimension to your walls with a bold geometric tile. The dark- and light-blue lines in the Blu Window Hex tile create dynamic visual interest on this wall. This blue bathroom tile works well with the simple accents and white fixtures.

7. Beach Vibes

The Summerland by Jeffery Alan Marks is everything we love about laid-back, seaside summers.

8. Denim Pattern

The Laura Ashley Star Cloud Blue is blue-jean dreams. With the fun and dimensional hexagon shape and the playful star pattern, this tile is casual yet chic. Pair it with a subtle white tile like the Penny Round Matte White to make this tile a standout.

9. Stylish Shower

1. Elevate Your Design With a Glass-Marble Mix

Tile that combines two or more materials will bring complexity and visual texture to your space. Here, the Divisa Storm tile elegantly blends marble and glass for a striking design. The marble veining, along with the chevron pattern, infuse the space with a sense of movement that complements the woodgrain detail of the shelf.  

2. Cast a Romantic Glow

The Patina Gilded Mirror tile casts a golden hue in this luxurious kitchen, designed by Kelli Fontana Vogelgesang. The gold mirrored tile features a beautiful coloration, creating a soft, romantic effect. If you love this chic, whimsical style, explore our exclusive Kelli Fontana designer collection.  

3. Infuse Your Space With Beachy Blue

The brilliant Glass Sky Blue Amalfi tile fills this space with a soothing coastal tone. The charming pastel evokes the tranquility of a bright day at the beach, perfect for creating a cheerful design. For more ideas on how to bring seaside serenity into your space, check out this helpful guide to “coastal chic.”  

4. Incorporate a Stunning Picture Frame

A tile “picture frame” is created by framing a decorative tile with trim pieces, such as Hixtons and Somersets. This makes a perfect centerpiece for your glass tile backsplash. Here, the expressive blues and greys in the Blue Twilight Brick tile enhance the elegant grey veining in the Hampton Carrara Chevron tile, resulting in a highly designed, cohesive space. Achieve this effect by layering trim pieces to highlight your favorite mosaic or patterned tile.

5. Create Movement With a Chevron Pattern

A dynamic shape, combined with striking color variation, infuses this space—designed by A. Dorazio—with a lively sense of movement. We love how the grey, beige, and white tones in the Alato Beachwalk Chevron tile coordinate with the white cabinets and grey-veined white marble countertop.  

6. Add Serene Neutrals

The Santos Beach tile‘s blue, grey and beige tones convey a calm coastal landscape. The combination of warm and cool neutrals adds a tranquil, yet visually complex, backdrop to this contemporary kitchen.

7. Choose a Mirrored Tile to Reflect Your Personality

Brighten your cooking space with mirrored glass tile. The Antique Mirror Bevel tile shown here reflects light, adding extra illumination to this stove backsplash. Designed by Timber Trails, the kitchen features this standout tile only on the top half of the backsplash to avoid overwhelming the space—we think they struck the perfect balance.

8. Add Hex-cellent Dimension

The hexagon is a classic shape that’s experiencing a resurgence in the interior design world. Here, the Posh Brushed Silver mosaic tile creates a lustrous backsplash. If you love this timeless shape, shop our wide assortment of hexagon tile.

The post 8 Stunning Glass Tile Ideas for Kitchen Backsplashes appeared first on The Tile Shop Blog.

1. Combine Warm and Cool Neutrals

One of our favorite design trends is mixing warm and cool neutrals to achieve an inviting and visually interesting space. This luxe kitchen backsplash, designed by @cjuncaj, features the expressively veined Firenze Calacatta tile. With its grey, beige, brown and cream tones, this tile creates balance while making a bold statement.

2. Add Elegance With a Leaf-Shaped Mosaic

Give your backsplash a beautiful sense of movement with a marble mosaic. This stunning space, designed by @ckdesignernicole, features the Elia Honed by Alison Victoria tile. The delicate leaf shapes accentuate the grey and taupe veining in the white marble tile, forming a playful and serene backsplash.  

3. Create a Slab Effect

Achieve the luxurious “slab” look with a large rectangular marble tile, like the 12″ x 24″ Calacata Evora tile shown here. Larger tile requires fewer grout joints, resembling the appearance of a single slab of marble. You can also obtain the slab marble look with large-format porcelain tile, available in sizes up to 48″ x 48″.  

4. Mix Marble and Metal

Layering materials adds visual texture to your space. The Palermo Noir Stone Hex tile, featured on this stylish kitchen backsplash, combines rich black marble with small pieces of brushed bronze. We love how the chic bronze accents complement the metal faucet and fixtures.  

5. Get a Modern Farmhouse Look With a Basketweave Mosaic

This kitchen, designed by Timber Trails, showcases elevated modern farmhouse design. The Sampson mosaic tile features an exquisite basketweave pattern of white and beige marble. Paired with open shelving and wooden accessories, this backsplash embodies the cozy-chic aspect of modern farmhouse style. For more ideas on incorporating this design throughout your home, check out this comprehensive guide to achieving a modern farmhouse look.

6. Set a Mood With Grey Marble

Love the tone of a cloudy sky? Bring it indoors with an expressive grey tile, like the Bianco Colorato shown here. The soft light and dark grey veining are beautifully balanced by subtle beige tones, creating a harmonious neutral look. We love how this gorgeous grey complements the white cabinets and wood shelves.

7. Cast a “Hex”

Available in a range of sizes, colors and materials, hexagon tile is a retro shape that has found a fresh application in our spaces in recent years. Marble, with its vivid veining–bold or subtle, like the soft grey featured in the Royal White Hex tile—adds a sense of movement to your hexagon tile backsplash.  

8. Elevate Your Space With a Waterjet Mosaic

Glass and marble are elegantly combined in the Northbrook Glass with Black Marquina tile. Created using high-powered jets of water that carve intricate grooves in the hard stone, waterjet mosaics combine natural stone with glass, metal or mother-of-pearl. As an added bonus, the glass in this mosaic captures light, brightening the cooking space.  

9. Create a Rustic Look With Tumbled Marble

The worn appearance of tumbled marble is achieved by placing the stone in a rotating drum with rocks, sand and water. The result is a beautifully textured tile that is both refined and rustic. This charming kitchen, designed by Esslinger Design Co., features a backsplash of Meram Blanc Carrara tumbled marble subway tile, which creates an elevated brick wall feel.  

10. Add Art Deco Charm

Curves and geometric shapes are hallmarks of classic Art Deco design. This style, popularized in the 1920s, has reemerged in the 2020s with a contemporary twist—and we’re loving it! Here, the stylish Christie Volakas mosaic tile, featuring lush marble and gilded metal accents, creates a space that Gadsby would adore.  

11. Create a Sense of Movement With Chevron

This V-shaped tile creates a pleasing zigzag pattern that adds a sense of movement to this kitchen. The natural grey veining adds texture, complementing the organic elements, such as the wicker lamp shade and open wood shelving.  If you love this classic look, explore our wide assortment of chevron tile.

12. Add a Marble Tile “Picture Frame”

Make your favorite marble mosaic a focal point by showcasing it in a tiled picture frame. This technique, created using decorative trim to frame a patterned or mosaic tile, adds a highly designed, picturesque element to your space. It’s also a great way to add a touch of luxury while staying within budget.  

13. Marvel With Marble Subway Tile

Elevate the everyday with a luxurious marble subway tile. This crisp and clean backsplash, designed by Timber Trails, features Meram Blanc Carrara subway tile. The soft veining in this winter white marble adds dimension, enhancing standard white subway tile with a touch of elegance.  

14. Choose a Diamond-Shaped Tile for a “Cut Above”

Bold grey veining adds movement to this opulent backsplash. The Africa Tempesta Wheaton tile features beautiful diamond and chevron shapes, enhancing the dynamic quality of the design. We love how the cloudy grey tile contrasts with the white countertop.

1. Add Interest With An Ornate Pattern

The intricate white-on-black pattern of the Bolshoi Negro tile makes this cozy fireplace a statement piece. Although the pattern is detailed, the simple color palette maintains the understated elegance of the room–and it looks stunning with the minimalist hardwood mantel.

2. Create Craftsman Appeal With Handmade-Look Subway Tile

Handcrafted details are a hallmark of modern farmhouse style. Handmade or handmade-look tiles, like the Look Oliva tile shown here, feature variations in color and surface texture that give your space perfectly imperfect appeal. As an added detail, we love how the white grout lines pop against the deep green tiles, creating continuity between the fireplace and the white cabinetry.

3. Realize Your Rustic Aesthetic With Travertine

Lean into the earthen aspect of modern farmhouse design with natural stone, like the Claros Silver Split Face Free Length tile shown here. The rough edges of this tile adds texture, while the beige and grey tones create a cozy cabin feel. Shop our wide assortment of travertine tile for more rich and rustic looks.

4. Celebrate Americana With a Folk Art-Inspired Pattern

A cornerstone of modern farmhouse design is updating traditional styles for a contemporary home. Embrace the designs of the past with a folk art-inspired print, like the Americana-patterned Star Blue tile shown here. The matching blue bricks make this fireplace a classy and cheerful focal point.

5. Mix Whimsical Patterns With Rustic Details

One of the things we love about modern farmhouse design is its flexibility. You can combine different styles and still achieve a cozy-chic aesthetic. This fireplace, designed by @kstalzer85, combines the “English cottage” style Laura Ashley Wicker Charcoal patterned tile with a hardwood mantel and a bronze cow scull for a rustically stylish appeal.

6. Keep It Elegant With White Marble

Paired with a wooden mantel and homey decor items, white marble tile elevates your design while maintaining a down-to-earth aesthetic. Here, @lexi.pratz styled her Hampton Carrara marble fireplace with natural elements–hardwoods, white pumpkins and fall florals–to create a space that is both elegant and inviting.

7. Achieve Natural Appeal With Architectural Tile

The California Gold Large slate tile adds a textured edge to this modern farmhouse fireplace, designed by Pinnacle Design and Remodeling. The architectural details and dark tones complement the crisp, painted wood panels above the mantel. (Plus, the muted color palette makes the Christmas decor pop!)

8. Stay Sleek and Stylish With Stone Subway Tile

Simple and timeless, a brick-lay subway tile design is a staple of modern farmhouse style. Here, @pipermathews adorns her fireplace surround with the Africa Tempesta white marble tile. The grey-veined white tile adds great visual texture to the space, complementing both the wooden mirror and metal candlesticks.

9. Add Subtle Detail With a Neutral Pattern

This cozy space features the Laura Ashley Mr Jones Dove Grey tile with its sun-faded pattern, creating a relaxed yet elevated aesthetic. The combination of the geometric floral design with the organic evergreen and wooden accessories provides a stimulating contrast to this space, designed by @pipermathews.

10. Tile Above the Mantel

When you think of tile for a fireplace, you probably picture it on the hearth or fireplace surround. Tiling above the mantel adds focus to upper portion of your room, accentuating the height of the walls and making an artistic statement. That’s what @this_flippin_house has done in for this beautiful fireplace, featuring the Star tile.

The post 10 Modern Farmhouse Fireplace Tile Ideas appeared first on The Tile Shop Blog.

1. Create a Tiled Accent Wall

Tiling only one wall can create a focal point and add the illusion of depth to your space. In this beautiful bathroom, Timber Trails tiled the wall behind the sink with the Alato Beachwalk Chevron glass mosaic tile, which doubles as a backsplash and enhances the space with a space a sense of movement.

2. Embrace Classic Encaustic Patterns

Made from cement using centuries-old techniques, encaustic tiles will lend an air of timelessness to your design. The classic pattern on the Britianna Camden tile is a case in point. In this half bathroom, the tile creates interest above the sink, while the warm neutral palette lends softness to the space.

3. Go Back to Basics With White Subway Tile

White subway remains a popular tile for a reason–the sleek and clean design is endlessly versatile, making this a great tile choice if you anticipate wanting to change up your bathroom decor with the seasons (or your moods). Here, @talk_repurposed installed the Imperial Bianco Matte tile with black grout, creating continuity of color between the walls and the black and white penny tile floor.

4. Add Shape & Movement with Marble Hexagon Tile

An elegant marble instantly elevates any room’s design. Choose a dynamic shape, like the Hampton Carrara Tumbled Hex tile shown here, to add even more interest to your space. The veining in the marble creates subtile variations in color between the tile pieces for a natural sense of movement.

5. Expand Your Wall Space with Large-Format Tile

Large-format tile requires fewer grout lines, which will give your space a more expansive and cohesive look–perfect for a small powder room! And you don’t need to tile the entire room to get the effect. This bathroom, designed by Domicile 37, uses oversized Invisible Grey tile as a wainscoting. Installed vertically, this tile gives the space the illusion of height as well as depth.

6. Create a Wellness-Focused Space With Wood-Look Tile

Wood-look tile offers the same connection to nature and serotonin-boosting benefits as natural wood. The Fileto Camel tile used in this chic bathroom features a soothing fluted look that adds to the tactile experience of this space. For more ideas on the nature-inspired benefits of “biophilic design” check out this helpful guide.

7. Add Texture With Sculptural Tile

Like fluted tile, sculptural or 3D tile will add to the sensory experience of your space. The wavy ridges of the Ritual tile, shown here, create texture and soft movement. As the light catches on the raised portion of the tile and casts shadows, the effect is a dynamic space that can be changed with the simple addition of a candle.

8. Soften the Edges with Wave-Shaped Tile

Tile is a hard design element by definition, but tiles with a curved shape–like the Wave Grey Owl tile shown here–will lend softness to your space. The curves of the mirror, circular wall sconce, and even the sink basin all work with the curved tile to give this space a feeling of ease.

9. Create a Beachy Vibe

Give your powder room a relaxed seaside update with “coastal chic” design. Characterized by charming blues and warm neutrals, this sleek style goes beyond basic nautical nods. We love how the Big Sur by Jeffrey Alan Marks in Off the Hook tile uses an abstract, wave-like pattern to evoke the ocean shore. For more beachy tile ideas, check out this comprehensive guide.

10. Pair a Pattern With a Pattern

Because it’s a relatively small area of the house, and perhaps not a room you’ll use on a daily basis, the powder room is a great place to explore your style. Patterns that might feel busy in the master bathroom can provide an unexpected surprise for your guests. Here, a bold floral wallpaper is paired with a black-and-white marble-look patterned tile for a visually stimulating space.

11. Create a Chic (and Cozy) Space

“Modern farmhouse” embraces comfy, homey and effortlessly stylish design. If this is your aesthetic, then your powder room is the perfect place to put it on display. For this rustic-chic bathroom I SPY DIY based their design around the hexagon mirror, using the simple Silver Hex tile to highlight this shape and tie in to the neutral tone of this space.

12. Soften Your Space With a Pastel Palette

Create a dreamy space that relaxes your senses with soft pastel tile. This lovely powder room, designed by Rodi Homes, features the Color Market Alice tile installed in a herringbone pattern. The light pink tile makes this space light and feminine, while zig-zag grout lines add bold movement.

13. Mix Old and New With Transitional Design

This elegant bathroom from Timber Trails perfectly encapsulates the timeless charm of transitional design. Blending traditional elements (the grey paneled walls and regally shaped mirror) with the contemporary light fixture and diamond-shaped tile, this space transcends trends. If your style falls between classic and contemporary, discover more ideas in our Tile For Every Style guide to transitional design.

14. Add Depth to Your Space With Glossy Tile

Make your small space feel larger with a slightly reflective glossy tile that catches the light. The gloss finish of the Tribeca Basalt tile used in this bathroom creates the illusion of depth and also brightens the room. Glossy tile is perfect for a space that includes a natural light source.

Marble comes in many colors and can display dramatic or subtle veining. Here the opulent emerald tones of the Gem by Alison Victoria tile create a chic shower space. We love how the green shade of the wall tile is complemented with the green veining in the marble-look tile in the shower niche.

7. Win the Design with a Checkerboard Pattern

An intricate mosaic not only adds beauty and interest to any space, it can also add traction to your bathroom or shower floors, helping prevent slippage. The Modena tile used on this chic shower features marble cut in diamond-shaped mosaic pieces. The effect is a lovely, unique and practical design.

13. Showcase Your Favorite Marble in a Shower Niche

If all-over marble isn’t your style (or isn’t in your budget), you can showcase a favorite tile in a smaller format by using it in a shower niche. The leaf-shaped Elia Polished by Alison Victoria tile, shown here, creates an elegant moment in this chic shower.

14. Stretch Your Budget by Pairing the Real Thing With Marble-Look

2. Embrace Perfectly Imperfect Zellige Tile

Every tile in our Zellige collection is crafted, painted, and glazed by hand, ensuring one-of-a-kind character. This process results in subtle differences in tone, as evident in this gorgeous bathroom featuring the Zellige Alabaster Gloss tile. These tiles range in color from white to pink to beige, creating a unique space full of soft movement.

The Legno limestone tile used in this gorgeous bathroom features light, creamy tones with lots of soft veining for movement. This room maintains a simple color palette of beige, pink and white, creating a lush and serene space.

4. Use “Griege” For a Mix of Warm & Cool Tones

Grey-toned beige, or greige, combines both warm and cool neutrals for a space that is at once energizing and relaxing. Here the warm and cool tones are dramatically expressed in the Invisible Grey marble-look tile shower wall, but the griege Nord Ris Hex floor tile grounds this space in a solid neutral.

5. Layer Marble for a Rich, Luxurious Look

Elevate your tile design by layering stone shapes and trim. This luxurious shower features several tiles form our Queen Beige marble collection.

1. Keep it straight (stack)

The orderly rows of a vertical straight stack make for a design that’s neat in every sense of the word. The handmade-look Hackney Dark Blue tile shown here features rich teal and blue shades with a patina, giving this backsplash a sense of movement and expressive visual interest.

2. Make it Cool & Modern with a Vertical Offset

A vertical layout gives your space the illusion of height–perfect for a low-ceilinged shower. This chic space designed by Alison Victoria features her Tile Shop-exclusive Brick x Brick tile in Petal in a brick-lay layout turned 90-degrees. The beautifully textured subway tile is softened by the pretty pastel color, for look that’s slightly edgy, yet still feminine.

Black and white is a chic and timeless neutral pairing.

Add interest to your design by mixing horizontal and vertical tiles in a grid stack. This elegant modern, bathroom features the Look Avio tile in alternating stacks of four.
