Are you looking to get creative with the tile in your kitchen or bathroom? Tile is a long-term investment. It adds incredible visual appeal, but the quality and durability are where much of the value is. Reviewing as many options as possible is the only way to get a cohesive, personalized design you won’t be sick of in five years.
Keep scrolling for a sneak peek of specialty shapes. This is just a glimpse of the type of patterned tile ideas on the table when you work with a designer.
Textured, patterned tile ideas for kitchen backsplashes
Warm and cozy or clean and classic, tile backsplashes are a key visual feature of your kitchen remodel. Use tile to add depth, dimension, and texture, or to create the full spectrum of your desired color palette.

Arabesque style tile
Talk about timeless. Arabesque mosaic tiles date back to the Hellenistic period. Your choice of grout enhances these diamond shapes. Perfect for adding the unexpected to kitchens where you’d normally expect a classic subway tile.

Delicate herringbone tilework
You’ve been poring over Zellige tile, but want something a bit more intricately laid. Select your favorite rectangles or parallelograms in a palette and have them arranged into something special.

Textured fluted tilework
If you’re looking to layer on as much character, warmth, and texture, this sort of tile design has it all. Make your under-cabinet lighting really count by casting it on fluted tile. The scoring and dynamic finish speak to effortless, lived-in sophistication.
Contrasting statement tile designs for the shower
Our smaller, expertly laid tiles indeed create a great accent for the large-format stone we all love. But another reason we resort to our book of patterned tile ideas is safety. Many porcelain tiles create high-concept showers that offer more grip underfoot.

Hex appeal
Honeycomb hexagons are present in nature, and we’ve carried them over to luxury modern showers. Choose a bolder shade of these mesh-backed mosaic tiles and be sure to contrast with grout.

Niche design trick
Lining the interior of shower niches with statement tile designs highlights and customizes your architectural features. Large, relatively seamless stone tile is perfect for walls since it’s easier to clean and maintain. This pocket of visual interest keeps it entertaining.

Paved with gold
Accent tile to match your fixtures? Calacatta Gold-inspired mosaic tiles don’t create much contrast, but they do a great job of enhancing–not interrupting–a calming, upscale design scheme.
