how to personalize your home with tiles

A lot of homeowners choose tile flooring for their home because they are durable, cool to the touch and are easy to maintain. In addition, they can be personalized for your design needs.

At Denver Carpet and Flooring, we want to help you achieve the home you?ve always dreamed of. Here are some creative ways to add a special touch to your home with the use of ceramic tiles for your floor and more.

Make an accent wall


A ceramic tiled accent wall can turn a lackluster room into a visually pleasing one. With today?s selection of porcelain, ceramic, slate and marble tiles, installing a custom accent wall is easier than ever. These tiles are available in a wide variety of colors, patterns and designs so you can create beautiful patters without exerting too much effort. If you want to add a pop of color or create an eye-catching wall, we recommend using 12 x 12-inch glass mosaic tiles.

Frame a mirror


Mirrors offer a variety of uses in the home. They enhance the decor, open up the space and reflect light. Adding title that looks like wood to the border of a mirror is greatly trending with a more rustic, aesthetic appeal. But most mirrors only feature a plain, simple frame. Give your bathroom or hallway mirror an instant makeover with a tile border.

Create a kitchen backsplash


A kitchen never seems complete without a visually appealing backsplash. Tiling a backsplash is one of the simplest, yet cost-effective ways to upgrade an old, tired kitchen. Plus, cleaning becomes a lot easier, even if splatters occur.

Turn it into an artwork


It is recommended to purchase about 10% more tiles than necessary whenever you?re assembling materials for a tiling project. Don?t put those extra tiles to waste. You can use those spare tiles to create an artwork. This can be integrated in the backsplash, on an accent wall or incorporated in your tile flooring design.

You don?t need artistic ability to be able to create impressive results. Just mix and match different types of ceramic tiles or use tile that looks like wood until you create a pattern that you are looking for. Ceramic tiles that come in geometric patterns are perfect for this project.
