Making Patterned Tiles a Focal Point in Your Home: 5 Design Hacks

Your home should be your pride and joy. It’s the place memories are made with the people you love – be that family, friends, neighbours or out-of-town visitors. Whoever they are, your home deserves to be shown off to them not only as the place you have to be, but as the place you want to be. So, with summer on the horizon, we’re here to show you how to make the best of those plain walls, boring floors and bare garden spaces by adding a bit of quirk and beauty to your home with patterned tiles fit for every occasion.

No matter the size or location of the area you’re looking to lease some new life to, you’ll be amazed at what a few fun tiles can do to the entire look and feel of your property.

Tile your favourite rug for a long-lasting finish

We understand that finding a rug that perfectly suits your home can, at times, be a bit of a hassle. With so many different variations, sizes and materials out there to choose from, hunting for ‘the one’ sometimes just doesn’t feel like it’s worth the time or effort. So, we’ve come up with a solution: creating your own unique rug that suits your room perfectly, using patterned floor tiles that let you express your style through a more permanent centrepiece.

Swap pesky blu tack and fiddly door hooks for individual door frames

Gone are the days of hanging kids’ names to their doors, or signposting only your bathroom for unfamiliar guests. Signposting various rooms in unique ways can bring personality and character to every inch of your home – an update that’s especially welcome in tired and uninspiring living spaces. By using patterned tiles to cover the outside of your door frames, your rooms are highlighted in a style unique to the occupant – adding a touch of individuality to your room without you having to decorate the inside.

Create the perfect kitchen splashback

Let’s be honest – your kitchen is undoubtedly the most used room in your house. Whether you’re an avid chef or an amateur ‘pot-noodler’, your kitchen is the place your family gather for a slap-up meal or a warm brew. Our practical suggestion for sprucing up your kitchen? A staple splashback wall behind your stove to keep your visitors’ eyes on beautiful design (rather than the surrounding food mess). Not only do patterned kitchen tiles epitomise vintage chic, but they also act as a mechanism to keep your walls clean and easy to maintain – making you feel happy and stress-free in the place you visit most.

Get your garden summer-ready with a BBQ area that gets the family together

Patterned wall tiles are most commonly associated with kitchens, bathrooms and the odd staple wall inside your home – but have you ever considered creating a piece outside the walls of your home, in a communal area that everyone can enjoy? With British summer finally around the corner, there’s no time like the present to get your outdoor area ready with a practical feature wall – framing your BBQ, whilst keeping it clean, ready for those warm days and long nights.

Make your bedroom headboard the patterned sheets you never had

Headboards come in a variety of shapes and sizes. While they usually remain plain and simple, leaving your choice in bedding to take centre stage, our retro patterned tiles provide the perfect excuse to jazz up a previously stripped-back bedroom. By choosing a selection of tiles to cover your headboard, your bed immediately becomes a piece of art that lasts bed sheet after bed sheet. This is, of course, dependent on the material you choose for you headboard – but with exotic or vintage tiles held perfectly in place, lazy Sunday mornings will never feel the same.

If any of the above ideas have piqued your interest, or perhaps even inspired you to come up with some of your own concepts, take a look at our vast range of patterned tiles to help build your home’s very own creative focal point.
