21 Unusual Tile Ideas

Lately, it seems, the modern trend has been to use the most unusual tile one can find, to add dramatic accents to home decor, and we’ve certainly found some very unusual ideas when we started looking.

Whether it’s the demand – people are not afraid to use bold designs to express themselves – or the industry is enjoying a surge of innovation lately, we don’t know. It could be both. For certain, we see a lot of new materials used in tile manufacturing along with the new technologies utilized to apply patterns. This has lead to unique and unexpected designs.
