Switch to the Sixties

Subway tiles have always been the top choice for homeowners when designing their kitchen and bath walls. Now, this option is still a fan favorite, however, designers are leaning more towards subway tiles with a bit of a twist.

So, to help provide some insight, your local Duval County realtors with Marla Newman Group have listed some new trends that designers and homeowners are choosing to do in replace of the traditional subway tiles.

Be Bold And Beautiful

Now it seems like subway tiles will rarely ever go out of style since they exemplify such a clean and classic look. But sometimes the same ole look can create a monotonous feel. So now people are deviating from the classic and are transitioning into the bold. This means that designers are traveling back in time and are choose bold colors for your tile, just as they were in the 1960s.

Instead of using the traditional white color for your subway tile, you may want to consider choosing something that is a little more bright in color and has a unique pattern. Don’t be afraid to show your personality through your kitchen and bath designs. By being a little more bold with your tile color and pattern, you will help create a more fun, artistic twist to this part of your home.

Go Big Or Go Home

Another popular 60s style that is trending now is big slabs of tile that are being used instead of the traditionally smaller cuts. Designers are choosing hexagon shaped tile planks in the kitchen and bathroom with a variation of smooth tile and pattern pieces for more of an appealing look. Some homeowners even state that the larger tiles are easier to clean and are lower maintenance than the traditional subway tiles.

One Dimension To The Next

If you are interested in choosing a design that is unique and aesthetically pleasing, you may want to consider using different textures and dimensions for your design. Choosing one wall in a room to add these bold tiles can help create a visual focal point on the area. Three-dimensional concrete tiles are currently all the rage for these type of bold feature walls.
