Tiles are a fun element to plan around when designing an interior space. There’s always so much to keep up with in terms of trends, and they come in various styles and layout possibilities. There are also many practical things to consider when choosing tiles. You need to think about where they will be installed, what their purpose will be, and how well they can support the goals of a space. Accent tiles, for example, used to be very popular in shower design, but you may want to avoid them because they tend to detract from the visual landscape.
Accent tiles come in different forms now, but the classic style that used to be all the rage in the 90s and 2000s is the cluster of a few horizontal lines of tiles that cut across the space. The tiles are typically different in terms of color, size, and layout so the horizontal band can create a sharp contrast with the rest of the tiles and add some visual interest. Phoenix Grey, the principal interior designer of Orion Studios, advises against accent tiles for this exact reason.
