Creating Striking Accent Walls & Backsplashes
The 3D extruded design with concave and convex elements of this tile collection is perfect for designing eye-catching accent walls and backsplashes that stand out. Here are a few impressive applications:
Kitchen Backsplashes
Elevate your kitchen’s design with a textured backsplash paired beautifully with marble, quartz, or butcher block countertops. The subtle vertical grooves create a visually dynamic element that works with various kitchen styles, from classic to ultra-modern. Matching grout enhances the seamless, polished look, while contrasting grout can make the fluted lines even more pronounced.
Bathroom Walls
Create a spa-like retreat by incorporating Folk Fluted Tile in Pearl or Silver as a backdrop for a vanity wall. The soft sheen and vertical detailing add depth while maintaining a clean, fresh ambiance. Paired with brass, matte black, or polished chrome fixtures, this look exudes luxury and refinement.
Living Room Feature Walls
Want to make your fireplace surround or accent wall the focal point of your living space? Charcoal or Sky fluted wall panels provide an upscale touch with a tactile and structured appearance. Whether installed in a floor-to-ceiling design or as a wainscoting feature, it brings depth and movement to your walls.
Outdoor Kitchen & Bar Areas
For those who love alfresco entertaining, the Folk Fluted Tile Collection offers a durable, weather-resistant option for outdoor kitchens and bar areas. Charcoal or Silver tones work particularly well in contemporary outdoor settings, complementing natural stone, wood, and metallic finishes.
Easy Integration with Matching Grout
One of the standout benefits of this collection is how effortlessly it integrates with matching grout. Choosing the right grout enhances the cohesive and refined aesthetic:
- Matching grout creates a seamless, elegant look, allowing the fluted texture to subtly stand out.
- Contrasting grout emphasizes the linear detailing, adding an extra layer of dimension and depth.
Since the Folk is made of porcelain, it offers high durability, moisture resistance, and easy maintenance, making it an excellent choice for high-traffic areas and wet environments.
