Gorgeous Tile Ideas for the Minimalist
Tile is one of the most versatile materials you can use in your home. You can use it as flooring, as a backsplash or even as a wallcovering. Because it comes in different shapes, sizes and colors, you have the flexibility to develop your own unique tile designs for the home. You can create a stunning floor pattern to mimic a rug or use tiles on the wall to create a piece of art.
Bathroom Tile Ideas



Kitchen Tile Ideas
Using larger floor tiles is one way you can make a room feel more spacious. In this kitchen, grout lines are kept to a minimum. This creates a more monumental look on the floor rather than something with lots of little pieces. And by choosing to match the tile and grout color, it gives a more seamless look. It removes visual distractions and allows your eye to focus on the pops of green on the table and the mixed metal accents.
White paired with a light gray is a fabulous alternative to the all white kitchen. It’s a cool, serene color combination that makes the space feel airy and open. To create the illusion of a deeper counter, we paired a large white subway tile with a gorgeous white marble countertop. The counter mimics the gray paint on the cabinets, while the horizontal cabinet hardware mirrors the lines of the tile. The sleek, but simple design is anything but boring.
Clean, crisp lines and a black and white color palette give this kitchen a bit of an edgy vibe. The large square floor tiles create the perfect backdrop to this high-contrast space and allow your eye to move effortlessly around the kitchen. The wood grain cabinets and stools, along with the unexpected pop of green bring warmth and softness to the space.
Laundry Room Tile Ideas
Using tile to create detail is a fabulous way to add visual interest, especially in a functional space like the laundry room. The unique, organic pattern on the wall brings to mind the movement of water while the neutral floor tiles help anchor the space. The white counters and walls make the room appear larger and the witty glass front cabinets add a whimsical touch. It’s a chic, minimalist space that’s stylish and functional.
Flooring Alternative
Tile is also a wonderful alternative to hardwoods and is often unexpected! A light colored, over-sized porcelain tile evokes a serene feeling in this bedroom. A large rug placed under the bed warms up the tile and makes sure you have a soft place for your feet to land in the morning. Because the tile color coordinates seamlessly with the walls, your focus is drawn to the movement in the rug and the gorgeous textured accent wall behind the bed. The accent wall pulls the room together beautifully!

I find it interesting that you shared the current tile trends in this blog and which areas of the home they will shine. Personally, I like the White paired with a light gray tiles for kitchen, CLÉ tile and Foundry Flats tiles.
There are so many fun ways to use tile! I especially love to mix and match. Pairing a classic tile with something more modern (think penny rounds + large porcelain) looks particularly luxurious and thoughtful.
My favorite part of this article is that you mentioned that tile can be used as flooring, as a backsplash or even as a wallcovering because it comes in different shapes, sizes, and colors. I’ve heard that by using the right tile design you can make a room feel more spacious. Thank you for helping me bring more ideas on creating stunning floor patterns to mimic a rug or use tiles on the wall to create a piece of art.
Thank you for reading, Derek. And great insight! When we concept the rooms our clients will use most, like the kitchen and baths, it is always paramount that we use tile in a visually interesting and completely one-of-a-kind way. I believe that the luxury of design exists in its uniqueness.
