Decorative tile is designed to stand out. While standard field tile provides a neutral backdrop, decorative tile introduces pattern, color, and artistry that elevates a space from functional to distinctive.
Types of Decorative Tile
Encaustic cement tile features pigmented patterns pressed into the tile body for designs that never wear away. Geometric tile uses bold shapes and repeating motifs for graphic impact. Hand-painted ceramic tiles showcase artisanal craftsmanship with unique glazes and motifs. Zellige tile offers a Moroccan-inspired handmade aesthetic with rich, varied glazes. Patchwork and mixed-pattern tiles combine multiple designs in one installation for an eclectic look.
Where to Use Decorative Tile
Kitchen backsplashes are one of the most common places for decorative tile - the relatively small area allows for a bold design without overwhelming the space. Bathroom floors with patterned encaustic tile make a strong design statement. Powder room walls are another ideal canvas for decorative tile. Fireplace surrounds, stair risers, and entryway floors are other popular applications.
Pairing Decorative Tile with Field Tile
Decorative tile works best when balanced with simpler surfaces. Pair a patterned backsplash with plain subway tile walls. Combine a decorative floor with solid-color wall tile. Use decorative tile as a border or accent strip within a larger installation of square or rectangular field tile. The key is letting the decorative tile be the focal point without competing patterns nearby.
Where should I use decorative tile?
Decorative tile works best in focused areas - kitchen backsplashes, bathroom floors, powder room walls, fireplace surrounds, stair risers, and entryway floors. These locations benefit from visual impact without overwhelming the overall design. Use simpler field tile on surrounding surfaces to let the decorative tile shine.
Can decorative tile be used on floors?
Many decorative tiles are suitable for floors. Encaustic cement tile and porcelain decorative tile are excellent floor choices. Check that the specific tile is rated for floor use - some hand-painted ceramic decorative tiles are intended for walls only. For floors, ensure the tile has adequate slip resistance and durability for the expected foot traffic.
How do I mix decorative tile with plain tile?
The simplest approach is using decorative tile as the focal point in one area - such as a backsplash or shower niche - and plain field tile everywhere else. Match the base color of the decorative tile to the field tile for cohesion. Another approach is using decorative tile as a border, accent row, or rug-like inset within a field of neutral tile.
