Finding Your Shape: Which Hexagonal Tile Is Right for You?

We’re not sure whether it’s the uniqueness of this tile shape or the satisfying symmetry of each hexagon tile, but there’s no doubt that the use of hexagons in interior design is a trend that’s only set to grow in 2017. The ease in which these alternative shaped tiles fit together means that whether you’re getting creative with an eye-catching feature wall or giving your kitchen splashback a modern edge, you’re guaranteed to maximise on style with minimal effort.

Both quirky and versatile, it’s not hard to see why so many of us are opting for hexagon tiles in our interior decor, but it’s important to remember that finding the right tile will always go beyond choosing the shape itself. That’s why today, we’re taking a closer look at everything from size to colour, giving you all the help you could need to make hexagonal mosaic tiles work in your home.

Large and loud

Large tiles may be well known for their ability to open up smaller-sized spaces, but the shape of hexagon mosaic tiles means that this alternative tile will make a big impression in any kitchen or bathroom. For a vibrant space which exudes personality, add a pop of colour alongside neutral toned hexagonal wall tiles with several brightly coloured hexagons. Not only will this draw attention to the tile shape, but the bold splash of colour will add drama to the room’s overall design.

Small and sophisticated

If you’re seeking something that will suit a range of different styles of interior design in the future, opting for something more versatile will ensure that your long-lasting tiles stand the test of time – and match the latest design trends. The neutrality of white hexagon floor tiles will complement almost any interior decor theme, and the unusual shape of these smaller-sized tiles in interior design means that your mosaic tiles will make a strong visual impact every single time.

The glossy glaze of these hexagon bathroom tiles are both a stylish and functional choice for a bathroom splashback – and with smaller mosaic bathroom tiles facilitating more drainage, it can pay to adorn wetter areas with these sophisticated tiles.

Pretty with pattern

The stunning geometric design of a hexagon mosaic may be one of the most impressive interior design trends in 2017, but why stop there? A collection of intricately patterned mosaic wall tiles will form an iconic feature wall or splashback, and the eye-catching reds of encaustic Demireks wall tiles perfectly combine the modern shape with a classic vintage style.

Mural effect mosaic tiles

Whether you make a mosaic with different patterns and tones or you draw attention to the tile shapes with contrasting grout lines, hexagons are a first class choice when it comes to mosaic floor tiles. Embed a work of art into your kitchen floor with an arrangement of brightly coloured hexagon floor tiles, or why not opt for dark grout lines against a glossy white hexagon floor tile? Bathroom or kitchen, a feature floor or iconic mural on the wall will capture the attention of you and your guests every time.

With unusual tile shapes at the forefront of 2017’s interior design trends, hexagon mosaic tiles are the must-have shape of the moment – and the extensive ranges of sizes, colours and patterns mean that it couldn’t be easier to find the tile that’s right for you.
