Hexagonal tiles burst on the scene some time ago and, when you see what can be created with them, you will understand why everyone is in love with them.
Simple Yet Detailed
There are not many styles or finishes of ceramic tiles that could be described as charismatic but frankly, hexagonal tiles have it all.
They have a huge and immediate impact on a space. There are all kinds of patterns and finishes you can create. Opt for sleek and simple, or fill the space with detail. For a subtle finish, use the same coloured grout as the tile. For a standout finish, use a contrasting coloured grout.
There are stunning examples – clean white tiles, framed with black grout, for example – that show the way with hexagonal tiling.
Creative Layout
The geometric shape of these tiles make them perfect for creating various layouts and patterns within a floor or wall space.
Combining colours and tapping into your creative side yield fantastic results. For example, create a fun flower pattern on the floor.
Or, alternatively use tonal colours to create a fantastic shaded effect. On a wall, work from dark coloured tiles, such as black to the lightest colour at the top of the wall, with a scattered layer of greys toward the lower portion of the wall.
Patterned Hexagonal Tiles
There has been a resurgence in patterned tiles of late, great news for adding detail and interest into a space.
Hexagonal tiles were only available in block colours and although you can still create fantastic effects and patterns with coloured geometric tiles, the fact that they are now available in a range of patterned tiles is fantastic news.
For a retro feel interior, use them sparingly across an expanse of hexagonal tiled wall. Or if you have the creative courage, create a fantastic feature wall in the kitchen or bathroom with patterned hexagonal wall tiles.
Create Borders
Using tiles as flooring is nothing new but hexagonal tiles – block coloured and patterned – provide more opportunities to create truly bespoke flooring solutions.
We love the idea of creating a border from coloured tiles and then a central area using patterned hexagonal floor tiles. And these tiles are suitable for use in the home and in commercial settings too.
Blurring the Design Lines
Anything that pushes the boundaries of design and rips up the rule book is welcomed. And hexagonal tiles certainly seem to be leading the charge.
Not only can you choose from block colour or patterned tiles, you can also choose from ceramic tiles or wooden ones. But it isn’t a case of choosing which one and sticking with one choice.
Mix and match, blur the design lines. Use wooden hexagonal tiles around the edges of rooms or to frame key items in the space and then use ceramic tiles to ‘fill in’ the remaining space.
With so many great options of patterns, layouts and colours, why wouldn’t you love hexagonal tiles?
