This expressively original tile from celebrated designer Jeffrey Alan Marks<\/a> takes its inspiration from glazed pottery. Atop a cream-colored matte base, the abstract glossy blue with patina design captures the light as it moves across the room. The Big Sur tiles are available in Sea Spray<\/a> and Off the Hook<\/a> (shown here) and include six distinct tile faces that offer countless design possibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This delightful bathroom demonstrates how pattern can create texture to your space. The raised woven design of the Annie Selke Crosshatch Soft Pink tile<\/a> invokes the soft look of textiles, which is echoed in background of the charming bird mural. The effect is a tactile space that is at once elegant and inviting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The open edged-pattern of the Nikki Chu Zulu Graphite tile<\/a> allows for creativity in designing a layout. The tile faces can be installed any way you desire– end to end for a circular pattern, facing the same way for an orderly line of arches, or in alternating patterns as shown here. Whatever way you choose, this globally inspired design will create a distinctly modern space. Shop our new and exclusive Nikki Chu collection<\/a> for more bold and eclectic styles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pour a cup of tea and delight in “English cottage” style. Evoking drawing rooms straight out of a Jane Austen novel, the Laura Ashley Wexbord Midnight tile<\/a> (also available in Fresh Green<\/a>) is based on historic prints from the iconic British brand. This delicate floral motif would also look stunning in a “modern farmhouse”<\/a> design. Shop our exclusive Laura Ashley collection<\/a> for more charming patterns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A tiled picture frame or stripe, like the one created here using the Trois Bandes<\/a> geometric patterned tile, will give your shower a natural focal point. While this look can be created with any tile placed within a trim border, showcasing a favorite patterned tile will add an artistic flair to your space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like the tile stripe, a tiled picture frame is a decorative addition that will enhance any design. Most popular for showers and stove backsplashes, this feature can be used to highlight a beautiful pattern or mosaic tile. We love how this transitional kitchen uses a simple somerset trim<\/a> piece to frame the Vintage Nero patterned tile<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A shower niche provides a stylish and function place to showcase a patterned tile in a small format. This shower designed by Haneen’s Haven<\/a> features a double niche with the Saltus til<\/a>e displayed in both. The detailed black and white nature scene has the appearance of wallpaper, creating an unexpected and highly designed moment recessed in the white subway tile<\/a> wall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The interlaced black squares of the Hampton Carrara Geo Mosaic with Noir tile<\/a> makes an elegant focal point on this shower wall. The “pattern” in this tile is created through the repetition of intricately cut pieces of marble, and the effect is a stunning and chic statement piece full of shape and movement.

The Amazonia Emerald Tropic tile<\/a> adorns the floor and half the wall in this vibrant bathroom designed by Bailey Li<\/a>. The mix of the nature-inspired patterned hexagon tile<\/a> with the bold gold leaf wallpaper on the top half of the wall, makes this space come alive with movement and greenery.

Texture and pattern are one in the same with a 3D patterned wall tile like the 4-D Nature White tile<\/a> shown here. With its raised tree branch design, this tile adds a tactile dimension to this transitional kitchen backsplash. Shop our full assortment of 3D tile<\/a> to discover more ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re short on wall space, let your floors be the canvas. Based on iconic British designer William Morris’s 19th-century wallpaper patterns, the Pure Net Black Ink tile<\/a> (also available in the popular Linen<\/a> and Cloud Grey<\/a> colors) features an ornate floral motif that adds sophistication to this charming kitchen. For more historic designs from the founder of the Arts and Crafts movement, shop our exclusive Morris & Co. collection<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Black and white and on-trend, this hexagon tile<\/a> bathroom is custom design done right. Created using the Hex tile in Black<\/a> and White<\/a> paired with the Hex Matte White and Black Flower floor tile<\/a>, this unique shower showcases a bold and chic pattern. We love the way the white hexagon tiles create diamond shapes in the black background tying into the black and white floral floor design without mirroring it completely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
