Glass Tiles are a Versatile and Budget-Friendly Option 

Akoya Pearl 3" Hexagon Mosaic Tile

Glass tiles offer a wide range of colors and designs, such as the beautiful Akoya Pearl 3" Hexagon Mosiac Tile. They are perfect for areas like behind a range or on a bathtub front. Cleaning glass tiles is a breeze, and using recycled glass tiles is great for the environment. The translucent nature of glass allows you to subtly adjust the color by installing over a white or grey thinset.

Subway Tiles for a Timeless, Classic Look 

Arctic Ice Subway Tile 4x12

Originally, subway tiles were 3x6-inch rectangles, inspired by the tiles in the New York City subway ticket office in the 1900s. Nowadays, subway tiles come in various sizes and materials. White ceramic subway tiles are popular for adding a decorative touch to all-white kitchens and bathrooms. For a more contemporary vibe, clear glass subway tiles like Artic Ice Subway Glass Tile are a great choice. 

Ceramic: Upscale Look On a Budget

Portico Pearl Arabesque 8mm

Ceramic tiles offer budget-friendly options for bathroom and kitchen renovations. They are durable, easy to clean, and can imitate various materials like leather and steel. Perfect for backsplashes or accent walls, ceramics come in a variety of shapes, such as the Portico Pearl Arabesque. This tile features a pearly beige color that complements its unique graphic pattern. You can choose to either tone down the pattern with matching grout or make this wall tle stand out by using contrasting grout.

Create a Rich Feel with Dark Tile

Flamenco Hale Navy 2x18 Glossy

Dark backsplashes can bring a rich and dramatic look to kitchens and bathrooms. The Flamenco Hale Navy tile design, with its deep blue porcelain, is a striking choice. These tiles are perfect for a bathroom backsplash or for pairing with cream cabinets in a kitchen, adding an elegant touch to any space. The chic midnight hues of the Flamenco Hale Navy porcelain tiles elevate your room with their glossy finish and deep navy and regal blue highlights, creating a stunning presence. These tiles are versatile and resilient, measuring 2" x 18", offering multiple installation possibilities such as horizontal, vertical, or herringbone patterns. Affordable and stylish porcelain backsplash tiles are an excellent way to update your room without breaking the bank.

Mosaics Provide a Fancy Accent 

Champagne Toast Glass & Metal Tile

Mosaic tiles can be a bit pricey, but they add life and interest to neutral backsplashes. Champagne Toast is a beautiful mix of glass, metal, and stone in taupe, beige, and mocha hues that stand out in a neutral palette. To save money, you can cut 12x12-inch mosaic sheets in half and create stunning 6x6-inch borders or accents for your project. Let your creativity shine while stretching your tile budget!
