The 2018 Trend Hijack: Hexagon Tiles
Here at Tiles Direct, we believe hexagon tiles have the potential to be even bigger in 2018. If you’re a believer and looking for ways to add some hexagonal style to your home, we’re here to help. The only questions are where to incorporate these iconic tiles, and which patterns to choose.
In this latest instalment of our 2018 Trend Hijack, we’re taking a look at this eternally on-trend tile and helping homeowners revolutionise their living space in the year ahead.

Enhance your shower area
People don’t tend to touch their shower tiles for many years, allowing styles to live on long after the trend originally emerged, for the sake of convenience – and we understand. But in a new year, it’s the perfect time to drag your dated bathroom right into 2018 with some hexagon wall tiles in black and white – a modern remix of a classic tile style. You might think that it’ll involve a lot of grouting, but our hexagon tiles come in fairly large sizes, and we have a handy blog covering exactly how to tile your bathroom if you want to work on your DIY. There’s nothing like a big bathroom DIY project to really kick-start 2018, is there?
Blend the natural and the new
Often, it seems like more of a curse than a blessing to have original features such as limestone, bare brick walls and roof beams in your house. You’re always tempted to use them, but how? Many developers simply do not know what to do with them, often pairing them with dated design choices that fail to elevate the space into something interesting and new – but this six-sided shape can change all of that. The clean lines of some white hexagon tiles will work very well in a room with roof beams, creating a beautiful space that simultaneously looks forward and back – straddling the old and the new.
Combine with high-quality stone
Geode, agate and onyx – three types of stone that are very, very in for 2018. Cutting-edge designers CB2 claim describe them as “beautiful, natural materials, adding texture and depth to any design”. The problem is, as they are making the slow shift from boutique design houses to the mass market, they remain expensive – so why not combine a striking piece of agate with some hexagon kitchen tiles to both accentuate your premium purchase and save some money?
Pair with wood floors
This is a real statement, and something we’ve obsessed over ever since stumbling across it on Pinterest. Using large hexagon floor tiles alongside a smooth wooden floor can create an eye-popping design that looks fantastic when pulled off correctly. Natural accents are in for 2018 and, when you combine the natural wood look with our hexagon tiles, your home will be the talk of the town.
Let your colour palette pop
Moody, rich, luxurious colour palettes are back for 2018 and we have suitably deep, richly coloured hexagon bathroom tile options for you in a range of shades. It’s easy to combine, for example, our Hexagon Gloss Royal Blue tile with some timeless brass bathroom fixtures to create a regal bathroom fit for a five-star hotel. For an even more premium look, swap the royal blue for our new Teardrop Silver design, giving the bathroom a subtle Middle Eastern vibe.
