How to Create Texture with Your Tiles

Date: August 30th, 2019 CTD Tiles | Tags: textured tiles, textured wall tiles

Creating texture in the home is a trend that has seen increasing popularity over the last few years, with interior designers opting to include contrasting velvets, satins, metallics and stones into their schemes.

As the trend has developed, it has expanded from soft furnishings and fittings into wall and floor coverings – and this has resulted in an increased demand for textured and 3D tiles. Creating textured tile spaces can be the difference between a flat and lifeless room, and one that has depth and dimension. The shapes and patterns found within textured tiles can help to create a sense of movement when applied to the walls of your home.

While smaller things such as rugs, throws and furniture will add texture to most rooms, there are some areas where additional furnishings aren’t as common such as the kitchen or bathroom. Harder surfaces are more practical in these areas, so creating a textured quality to your scheme here might be more challenging. This is where the trend of textured tiles works particularly well.

In addition, textured tiles work particularly well for creating a feature wall in these rooms, where a specific section is designed to stand out or make an impact by creating a contrast with the rest of the scheme. In your bathroom, a feature wall tile is often used to draw attention to a walk-in shower or statement bath. Choosing a contrasting wall tile in the kitchen not only creates an attractive focal point, but can also be a practical design – for example, in the form of a splashback behind an oven or sink.
