Bold tiling options to elevate your room

When it comes to tiling, many homeowners want to create a space that is full of character and reflects their own tastes, without being too overwhelming. This is where bold tiling choices can really shine. But what are the effective bold tiling options to elevate your room? And how can these be balanced with neutral tiles to create the perfect result? 

So what are the most effective bold tiling options to elevate your room? 

There are a number of bold tiling options that can be highly effective for any room in the home. These include:

• Geometric designs- Geometric tiles and tiling layouts can be a fantastic visual feature in any room. Some popular options include hexagonal or triangular tiles, which are then arranged in intricate patterns. These can be the perfect option for creating a focal point on accent walls of backsplash areas. They should however only be applied in small areas, and surrounded by plain or neutral tones to maintain the visual balance, and to prevent visual clutter.
• Vivid colours- As well as geometric tiling options, choosing bold, bright and vibrant colours has also become popular. From vivid blues and fiery reds, to lush greens and rich purples, there are a number of bold tiling colours that can be highly effective. This is because many rooms can be at risk of looking sterile or characterless, and the addition of a small patch of colour, as an accent piece, can add personality, depth and energy to your kitchen design. As a result, you can be sure to create a kitchen that is lively, energising, and engaging. 
• Large format tiles- Large format tiles are gaining traction due to their ability to create a seamless, uninterrupted look. They reduce the number of grout lines, lending a clean and contemporary finish to any room. This minimalist approach exudes sophistication and makes a statement without relying on intricate patterns or bright colours.

What are the different options for bold wall tiling?

Using bold tiles for wall tiling is one of the most popular options for homeowners and property developers alike. These generally work more effectively on walls, rather than floors.If you want to use bold wall tiling to create a real visual statement in any room in your property, there are a number of different options available. These include:

• Choosing a bold colour or colour combination- To make your wall tiling feature really stand out you can choose to use bold colours or colour combinations. These colours should be suitable for your overall colour scheme and design style but they should also contrast with the rest of the space to create an unmissable visual feature. To use this technique effectively it is a good idea to limit the number of bright colours you choose and the placement of these. Less is generally more when applying bold wall tiles.
• Using mosaic tiling- For a bold wall tiling feature that offers something a little more unusual you could consider mosaic tiling. This involves using tiny tiles of different colours to create a larger overall image or an abstract shape or design. This can be a very effective and bold way to tile any room, from the kitchen splashback to the hallway. While it is often associated with more traditional tiling styles, mosaic tiling can still be very applicable and effective in a contemporary space. For this the design should focus on abstract or geometric design.

How can you combine bold and neutral tiles for the best results?

If you want to combine the calming nature of neutral tiles with bold tiles that will really pop, there are a number of different ways that are sure to secure the visual result you’re looking for. These different methods include:

• Using bold tiles for the feature wall- create contrast in any room decorated with light coloured neutral tiles, by using bold, vibrant colours for the feature wall tiling. Using the same shade colour, such as a strong blue with neutral blue-grey, can be a great option for rooms with a strong colour scheme. While switching colour completely can create a stunning contrast that really draws the eye.
• Using bold wall tiling colours- in some rooms, such as the kitchen, the wall tiling is only minor, protecting the wall space between the lower and upper kitchen cabinets. In this circumstance, you could consider using neutral coloured floor tiles, with brilliant, bold wall tiles, for a stunning effect. The inverse can work well for hallways, where the floor tiles will need to be a darker, more practical colour. However, using too much of the bold tile colour in one space can be overwhelming, so it’s important to limit this technique to spaces where this could work more effectively.
