Square Terracotta

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.

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.

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.
