Revamp your kitchen or bathroom with one of these tiles trends of the year.
If you are hoping to increase the value of your home or even if you just fancy a bit of a change, then why not look at changing the tiles in your bathroom or kitchen? This is one way to give your room a fresh new look without having to opt for a complete remodel.

1. Go bold.
Long gone are the days where a plain white tile with white grouting will do. So pick a bright colour that will accentuate the room. The best way to achieve this is to choose a block colour and to team it will a plain shaped tile such as the popular brick style tile. You want to avoid a complete overkill so remember to consider your existing features in that room as you want your new tiles to match. Pick an orange to bring some sunshine into the room or a deep navy for an air of sophistication.
2. Choose an interesting shape.
Tiles no longer come in just square and rectangle shapes. They also come in hexagons and octagons. If you want to bring your property up to date but aren’t feeling particularly brave, then go for a tile with an interesting shape and that can be the exciting feature. You will need to make sure that you pick a contrasting coloured grout to highlight the shape of the tile, for example a dark grey if you have a white tile.
3. Pick a patterned tile.
Tiles that are adorned with patterns are often reminiscent of the Mediterranean. They bring brightness to a room and create softness especially in a kitchen where there are lots of straight lines. Don’t overdo the patterned look though as it will create a very different look. Just opt for one wall or space for a real impact.
4. Opt for an exciting layout.
Tiles used to be either applied in a horizontal or vertical fashion. However this has all changed particularly with the popularity of a brick style tile that is very fashionable at present. However take this one step further and opt to have your tiles in a herringbone layout. The beauty of this is that you can really jazz up a cheaper plain tile without having to splash out on an expensive one.
