Ceramic Tile Design Ideas

An eclectic mosaic of ceramic rhomboid tiles makes for a striking look. A tesselation in various colors can be the perfect way bring visual interest to a room. Every color from our Cracked Ice ceramic tile collection was used to create this stunning look.

Cracked Ice rhomboids, triangles and small liner pieces are used here as an accent. A "cool ice" look can be achieved with a mix of slate blue and white Cracked Ice tiles.Because of their translucence, Cracked Ice tiles can really make a decorative strip stand out, even when using the same color as the field tile surrounding it.

A variety of Cracked Ice tiles are used to create this decorative strip. Rich amber and burgundy tiles can add warmth to a space, even if just used as an accent, as shown here. The unique rhomboid and triangle shapes of the tiles add an unexpected visual dynamic element to a wall or backsplash installation.

Spanish tile designs on these stair risers make a subtle statement. This staircase shows true Spanish tile design flair with terra-cotta treads and large Spanish Caceres for the risers. Characteristic of Spanish Tile, the hand painted tiles incorporate stylistic floral patterns into a geometric design using different shades of blue. The repeating geometric floral pattern adds visual appeal and creates a sophisticated look with Old World charm.

Using decorative tiles as risers in an outdoor patio adds subtle detail without taking away from the beautiful surroundings. Three different Spanish Caceres tiles are used to create the look in the patio risers shown here. Use of 3x6 for the top row, 6x6 for the middle row, and dots for the bottom row draws attention to the antiqued Talavera on the patio floor.
