Many designing the home strive for uniqueness in a given space. The longing to be “one of one” makes them seek a vision unto themselves, requiring products and elements that match the décor’s motif. 

This desire is balanced with the ever-present impulse  to not venture too far from common stylistic sensibilities, causing more subtle innovations to occur in tile trends. 

The innovation shaping much of the tile landscape is geometric tile shapes, captivating homeowners and trade professionals alike with their size and striking details.

The home remodeling industry is praising this trend for its ability to draw the eye to a single aspect of the room’s style with intentionality and creativity. With oversized, large-scale tiles adorning the floor and walls, homeowners are able to boast a focal point in the room’s design.

Understanding why this concept is elevating everywhere from the bathroom, to the kitchen, to the outdoor space, requires knowing each tile type of shape that currently is on the rise.

More Than Meets the Eye with Hexagon Tiles

Hexagon tiles draw the eye toward an unassuming backsplash and complements other design elements. 

The detail and patterns within the floor can emerge through the optical illumination of hexagonally-shaped backsplash tile. The same can be said when applied to the floor, adding a modern, sophisticated edge.

Calling from the concepts of 1970s kitchens, hexagon tiles bring their humble beginnings to the modern era with sizes, colors, and patterns that can showcase their captivating charm. With larger sizes that bring trendy sensibilities and hide a significant amount of the lines that tile requires.

Move in the Direction of Chevron Tiles

Chevron tiles provide a direction for the eyes and feet to travel with their inherent shape and commanding presence. This purposeful positioning is popular in both floor and wall use, creating a mesmerizing design for bathroom floors or kitchen backsplashes. 

The youthful optical pattern found in chevron tile thrives at its strongest when the tile contains character. With an array of colors, patterns, materials, and surface details to select when deciding on chevron tile, it is no wonder why it has been elevating innumerable homes.

Picket Tile is Ready to Play

With a worldly nature splashed across the floors and walls of an increasing number of homes, it is no wonder why picket tile is on the rise. They embody a more contemporary appeal, while still rooted in the fences of the 1950s. However, when laid in a horizontal formation with a glaze, these tiles easily can buck any older motif and forge its own path based on the design vision of the space.

A series of different colors arranged in a pattern can lift the tile up, and by extension, the design, to new heights. Picket tiles also can come in a myriad of various materials, surface details, colors, and patterns that can complement existing design elements within the space during any home remodel.

Exploring More Tile Shapes

Fish Scale

Completing any nautical bathroom or outdoor design, fish scale tile showcases a rare curvature in the world of tile. Its round edges promote a relaxing nature that washes away worries in the oasis of tub or pool.

Kite

Bucking the trends of the diamond, kite-shaped tiles pave its own path with its long construction. Whether applied to floors or walls, its inventive design draws the eye and elevates the room’s design vision to the next level.

Brick

No longer confined to the traditional red, layered appearance of the past, brick tile has broken free with a variety of colors, patterns, and surface details to customize and bring the room together.

Diamond

The timeless shape of diamond tile creates a pattern unlike any other. With its sharp edges and clean appearance, it has the potential of bridging design concepts of the past and present.

Square

Tradition and timelessness exist for a reason, and square tile proves that in every design. Whether it’s applied to the wall or the floor, its even siding stands tall as a popular choice that can be used for countless design concepts.

Rectangular

Rectangular tile is gaining steam around and outside  with bathrooms, kitchens, outdoor patios, and outdoor kitchens all enjoying what this shape brings to a design. With its long, symmetrical construction, it stays in high demand for what it can offer, especially when customized in its size, material, finish, color, and surface detail

Delivering an Elevated Look

The geometric shape of the tile within the design of a room can bring new and existing elements together with ease, elevating the home. However, achieving cohesive vision often requires the expertise of design service professionals and a trade professional member. 

Tile, like any home remodeling product, is a color of paint on the canvas of the refreshed room, and its geometric shapes deserve to be celebrated for its ability to craft both the cozy and the bold aesthetics with optical abilities that many flooring and wall options do not possess.
