Hexagonal tiles are a popular option for a wide range of interior design styles, from contemporary to traditional. With such an unusual shape, these tiles tessellate into an attractive pattern and offer a unique visual design feature. But what are the effective options for using hexagonal tiles to add texture? And how can you be sure to achieve the right results?

What are the effective options for using hexagonal tiles to add texture?

There are a number of different factors to consider when it comes to using hexagonal tiles to add texture to any space. These include:

  • Creating a sense of movement
  • Creating a tactile effect
  • Consider the design style 

Creating a sense of movement 

When it comes to texture, it’s easy to think of just the 3D effect, but this also encompasses movement. Hexagonal tiles can create a highly effective sense of movement and flow, because of the unusual geometry that draws the eyes in a continuous flow. This can be highly beneficial for both large and small spaces, but in small rooms this has the added benefit of increasing the sense of space.

Creating a tactile effect 

Hexagonal tiles can also contribute to a tactile experience. The three-dimensional effect created by the shape adds depth to surfaces, inviting touch and increasing visual engagement. This tactile quality can be heightened by selecting tiles with varying textures, such as matte or glossy finishes. In addition, by carefully assessing the lights and shadows in a space hexagonal tiles can create a unique, textured impact that really sets the tone for your space. 

Considering the design style 

Hexagonal tiles are equally effective in both classic and contemporary settings. In traditional spaces, they can be arranged in a timeless honeycomb pattern, while in modern interiors, you can experiment with asymmetrical layouts for a bold and dynamic look. The adaptability of hexagonal tiles allows them to complement a wide range of design styles, making them a versatile choice for any home.
