Mosaic Monday: 5 Fresh Geometric Mosaics

Are you ready to think outside of traditional square and rectangle tiles? Geometric shapes are taking center stage on accent walls, shower surrounds, and backsplashes – emerging as a top design trend.

You can quickly transform your space, bringing it to life with tiles in creative patterns, shapes, and textures. Arabesque, diamond, herringbone, and hexagon wall tiles are just a few of the options available to you today to create the inspired look many homeowners and designers seek. From traditional to modern, and everything in between, new twists on traditional shapes can create the distinctive creative flair you desire.

While the Arabesque pattern is typically associated with traditional design and décor, when presented in a mid-tone gray, it transforms into a modern design element. Dove Gray Arabesque ceramic tiles feature subtle tonal variations and a charming crackle finish. These dynamic pattern tiles partner beautifully with traditional cabinetry to create a stunning contemporary space.
