Versatile, durable, and available in a range of different price ranges, tiles are a great solution to a many household challenges.

If you are considering some tiles for your dwelling, we’ve gathered 10 clever ideas that are sure to give your abode a burst of flair and elegance. Whether you are interested in tiling your bathroom walls, your floors or perhaps you kitchen splashback, we’ve got something to solve your stylistic dilemmas!

1. Exude rustic character with a fabulous feature wall

When we think of feature walls we often picture a painted area, or perhaps the inclusion of some wallpaper. Instead of the usual wall coverings tiles can provide a gorgeous and eye-catching feature, which is sure to up the style and stylishness of your home. 

2. Tile your entire wall, not simply your splashback

Instead of tiling a small space above the countertop, why not tile your entire wall? In doing this you will create an engaging and exciting ambience, which can be determined by the type and style of tile you choose. For something lively pick a bright patterned option, and for sophistication, choose a simple muted or neutral hue. 

3. Choose a cool stone tile to evoke serenity

High gloss has always been a popular option to create opulence, but its importance shouldn't be ignored. Often easy to mop and keep clean, high gloss tiles can spruce up a room, and provide an instant injection of lavishness. 

8. Instead of a rug, tile a section of your floor

So you want to include a rug in your kitchen, but you are worried about the possibly mess it might cause? No problem. Instead on employing a rug, simply tile the area you had intended to cover. This will give the illusion of a rug, without the hassle and cleaning requirements. 

9. Go geometric to add depth to your room
