Giving your home the oomph factor is not an easy task. It is important to achieve the right balance of intelligent designing and the want to exude luxury in every corner. Sometimes, an overkill of either can make your home look too flashy or too dull. 

One of the most important contributing factor to making your home look chic is the flooring. Tiles come in to picture when you want a flooring that complements the lighting, ceiling or the walls. But, the potential of good tiles paved the way for designers to play with tiles on the walls and other unexpected areas of a home.  Pretty much every beautiful house has its fair share of tiles on walls, floors, ceilings, kitchens, bathrooms, hallways, foyers and lots of other rooms. Tiles are versatile and favourite amongst designers.

Tiles come at different prices and serve different purposes. Tiles can make or break the look of a home. But the tiles' biggest selling point is the style. When it comes to decorating our homes, there's a tile for every taste and he style factor of a home. Here, we discuss what makes tiles a classic and a hit with every space.

The modest subway tiles are white and mostly come in basic shapes like rectangles and squares. But, the real potential of subway tiles goes unexplored. StudioZ has achieved this sophisticated look in a bathroom with the regular subway tiles by creating a diagonal herringbone pattern on the walls. The white tiles against the dark filling is a subtle hint of the luxurious abode that your bathroom is!

2. Mix up the traditional black and white hex tiles

Black and white hexagonal tiles are passé – or so we thought until these classics came in bigger sizes. Let your imagination play with juxtaposing white against black or black against white. Litter white tiles amidst a posh black floor and surprise yourself with the modish look you get!

You can hire a designer to attain the look that you desire.

3.Dark to light

Go dark to light on your walls. The ombre look – where a colour fades from dark to light (or vice versa) is a hot new trend that is seen everywhere these days. Now, ombre has taken over our homes as well.

4. Tiles with a wooden finish

The wood grained tiles are a super hit amongst homeowners who want a wooden finish but hesitate to use wood for the fear of rot. These tiles are durable, sturdy and emanate the luxury unique to wood.

5. Patterns that you will love!

Go all out with patterned tiles. Tiles with geometric patterns and bold designs are making a comeback in hallways and otherwise sober parts of homes. Express your individuality with colourful geometric tiles and give your home a unique flavour. However, these tiles can overwhelm and need to be carefully set in. You can also place a flurry of these tiles between plain tiles of the same shade of colour.

6. Arabesque tiles are in

Mural tiles have the ability to create individual zones within your home. They are picturesque and can create standalone walls within your home.
