Textured tiles can be a great addition to any home, in any style. From wet room floors, to kitchen feature walls, textured tiles can be traditional, or contemporary in style. But using these, in combination with plain tiles, can be tricky, especially when you are aiming for just a subtle hint of character or contrast. That’s why using textured border tiles can be so successful. So, how can you use textured border tiles to create the right style and feel for your space?
What are the considerations when using textured border tiles?
So, what should you consider before installing textured wall tiles, to make sure you get the most out of them? Well, there are several things to bear in mind, including:
- The style- if you are creating a contemporary space, you will need to choose textured tiles that support this aim. This could mean choosing tiles with a rugged natural feel, like natural timber or stone effect tiles. While for traditional spaces, marbled textured tiles, and 3D effect tiles can be perfect.
- The colour- if you want your textured border tiles to really stand out, choose a colour that contrasts with the rest of the space. But for a more subtle hint of contrast, choose a different shade of the same colour used in the rest of the room. You could also consider the grout colour, using contrasting grout to create a clear boundary between the rest of the tiles and the textured border tiles.
- The positioning- border tiles can run vertically at certain parts of the room, or they can run horizontally around the perimeter of the room. The positioning will have an impact on how these border tiles break up the space, and create the right visual effect.
