Tile fashions change rapidly in the fast-paced world of interior design. Whether it’s upcoming colour trends or the latest shapes and sizes, homeowners, architects, and designers are always on the lookout for the next big thing – and at Tiles Direct, we strive to provide you with the best options.
Octagonal Tiles are a firm favourite among our customers and across the design sphere in general. The six-sided nature of this tile type creates a pleasing pattern across floors and walls, which makes it so popular with homeowners who want to stand out from the crowd.
However, many of us don’t have the skills of an interior designer, which makes finding the right place to use this type of tile difficult. This post shows how to style Octagonal Tiles in each room if you love six-sided tiles but don’t know how to install them on your property.
The Kitchen
Since tiles are the most practical option for a kitchen, you are unlikely to be unfamiliar with them. How easy is it to clean tiles? Take a look. What about durability? Did you check? How about style? Have you checked? As far as hexagon kitchen tiles are concerned, the possibilities are endless when it comes to how you can use them. You’ll surely be able to find a spot for your stylish new tiles on either your walls or floors, thanks to the huge range of sizes and colours that are available.
The Kitchen walls:
Depending on your style, you can be as subtle or as bold as you want when it comes to the kitchen walls. Using smaller hexagon wall tiles to create a unique splashback is one of the ways to incorporate hexagon wall tiles into this project. The best way to incorporate your six-sided tiles into the aesthetics of your home is to go small with them, whether you go for mixed black and white or a classy marble effect. If you have a period property, a traditional stone effect might be more appropriate, in which case there are plenty of options out there. Alternately, you could go bold and choose eye-catching glossy tiles available in a broad range of colours.
The Bathroom
The pairing of tales and bathrooms is a match made in heaven – Octagonal Tiles included. No matter how large your bathroom is, honeycomb tiles will make a bigger impression on your guests. This tile type will take your bathroom design to the next level, whether you add an eye-catching shower embellishment or an ultra-modern floor.
The Bathroom Walls:
Hexagon wall tiles are the perfect way to update the design of your bathroom. Thanks to the wide variety of sizes, you can use a complementary mix of sizes to make this space truly unique. Mosaic tiles add a lot of style to shower walls, and colours like duck egg or baby pink can add a fun flair to the room that will transform the overall aesthetic. Choose a white or black hexagon mosaic tile if you want a classic finish. In the world of interior design, the half-and-half look is also taking over. Tiles can be installed halfway up the wall, then paint, or another material, in a contrasting colour can be used on the other half.
The Hallway:
In your home, the hallway is one of the most important places – it’s the very first thing your guests will see when they enter the front door. Despite this, we often overlook this space the most. Octagonal Tiles are a quick and easy way to update a dreary hallway space. You can use them either on the floor or on the walls. To create a bold statement wall, you could use the half-and-half method we discussed above or cover the entire wall for a clean, contemporary look. Try creating a horizontal belt halfway up the wall with a mosaic strip or small Octagonal Tiles.
You can do anything on your floors. Choose from dozens of tile styles, shapes, and colours to create a stylish walkway, whether you go for a simple block colourway or a vintage-effect tile.
The living room
Although most people don’t immediately think of Octagonal Tiles for the living room, it is a great place to introduce a unique style into the room. A fireplace or alcove can be adorned with smaller tiles to add your own personal touch. Whether your style is contemporary, vintage, or a combination of both, Octagonal Tiles will add an eye-catching finishing touch to any room.
There will be styles and fashions that come and go as we head into 2022. However, when it comes to hexagon tiles, it doesn’t appear that this trend is going anywhere soon. It is predicted that this versatile tile type will be just as popular in 2021 as it was in 2020.
