Mixing and Matching

A cozy laundry room is the ideal place to have a little fun with tile. Here, a combination of "X" and star-shaped tiles in alternating white and gray shades make for a pretty backsplash. Even the fur baby gets a backdrop of the charming tiles in her little nook. A decidedly different choice makes its way into the design on the side of the cabinet and around the window with blue-and-white square tiles in whimsical and funky patterns.

Striking the Right Balance

The black-and-white graphic tiles not only make a bold backsplash statement, but they also provide a chic juxtaposition against the rustic warm wood of the cabinets. Simple white countertops pair with sleek faucets allowing the other aspects of the room to really shine.

Gradient of Gray

Creative tile patterns come from the actual tile itself, the way the tile is laid or a combo of both, such as this bathroom. Under a header of simple white subway tiles, gray ombre tiles are laid in a chevron pattern to create a cool shaded diagonal effect. Burnt gold fixtures and handles add a touch of warm glam to the mostly gray-and-white bathroom.
