Homeowners have used hexagon tile patterns for many decades, across floors and walls. How can you incorporate this tile into your home in a way that feels timeless and true to you? Wayne Tile Company explores your options.
Hexagon Tiles in Kitchen Backsplashes
Hexagon tiles are a classic choice for kitchen backsplashes. They're perfect for adding visual interest to an otherwise neutral room. You can find hexagon tiles in various shapes, colors, sizes, and materials, including low-maintenance porcelain, affordable ceramic, and modern glass options. The right size tile can complement your kitchen design. Larger hexagon tiles, in 6, 8, or 12 inches, look more modern because of fewer grout lines.
Hexagon Tiles for Bathroom Floors
Bathrooms are one of the most popular spaces for hexagon tiles, particularly on shower floors and backsplashes. They're a good choice for bathrooms because their grout lines make them less slippery than large-format porcelain slabs. They're also low maintenance and ideal for high-traffic areas. We generally recommend smaller hexagon tiles in small bathrooms and larger tiles in big bathrooms.
Creating Accent Walls With Hexagon Tiles
An accent wall is possibly one of our favorite ways to use hexagon tiles. Their busy pattern can be a bit distracting when used consistently across a large space. In that instance, consider using hexagon tiles on just one wall, such as in your shower, or above your bathroom vanity or kitchen counter. Hexagon tiles are versatile, so you can use them to add a feature wall in an entryway or a natural stone fireplace border in a lounge. Wayne Tile Company offers over 120 glaze options and various finish options to suit the style of your home.
Color Palettes and Finishes for Hexagon Tiles
We love the versatility of hexagon tiles. They come in various colors, sizes, patterns, and finishes, including matte, glossy, and textured. Colors can impact the way a space looks and feels. For a classic look, you may lean toward white, while black with white grout can feel more contemporary. Wayne Tile Company offers a wide range of other colors, such as gray, green, brown, and gold. Mix and match colors or use different finishes to add interest.
Layout Tips for Hexagon Tiles
There's no hard and fast rule when it comes to hexagon tiles. Be creative and see what appeals to you, using different colors and finishes to create patterns. We love the look of honeycomb, starburst, and random patterns. You can also play around with monochrome patterns and color gradients if you want something that feels a little different.
