Neutral Checkerboard
In this beautiful summer home, designer Amber Lewis chose a large brown-and-tan checkerboard tile for the flooring in the kitchen, mudroom, and breakfast nook, pictured here. Choosing this color palette with a patinated look helped make this home feel storied and timeless while keeping a classic tile pattern.

Bold Mosaic
When designer Cate Dunning moved into her grandparents’ home with her own family, this bold mosaic floor tile was not something she inherited. She chose it from Daltile, hoping it would capture some of her late grandmother’s vibrant spirit in the home where she once resided. It gives the kitchen more personality and a vintage feel.

Square Terracotta
Designer Shazalynn Cavin Winfrey did, in fact, inherit the tile flooring she now lives with. The terra-cotta tile came with the property, which used to be a parsonage, and it’s one of the reasons Winfrey bought it sight unseen. It adds a warmth throughout the home that’s hard to capture simply with paint or furniture.

Floral Motifs
In the child’s bathroom of the same home as above, Heather Phillips of Sunday Supper Club kept the aesthetic whimsical and light with tiles covering the flooring and the wall. The floral tiles on the floor are so darling and playful, and they really pop thanks to the white walls and shower.

Train Station-Inspired
In the same home as above, Phillips was inspired by the mosaic tile designs of old train stations when she designed the kitchen. This is a custom-designed pattern, again bringing floral motifs into the cook space.

Pink Marble

Checkerboard Twist
Checkerboard flooring is timeless. For a subtle twist on a solid black-and-white display, consider a marble version that lowers the overall contrast for a softer look. Here, The Fox Group used the style to liven up a narrow kitchen.

Muted Color Palette
Slim White and Gray
Skinny tiles in a herringbone pattern ensure this bathroom by designer Philip Mitchell is anything but basic. A black-and-white claw-foot tub and black hardware add some edge.

Painted illusions
Instead of laying tiles, paint your floors in the shape of tiles with bold colors, as Gary McBournie did in this kitchen. It’s a good alternative to a full-on renovation, and the flatness of the paint provides an interesting backdrop that textured tiles don’t deliver.
