Top Entryway Tile Ideas to Make a Lasting First Impression

f you want to go bold, ceramic tiles with geometric designs and Moroccan-inspired patterns can add a sense of personality to your space. Checkerboard patterns, waterjet tiles, and herringbone designs are all popular at the moment. You can use these subtle patterns to create points of interest or borders for larger format tiles. While bold tiles can be beautiful, less is more. Ensure that you counterbalance your bold patterns with neutral elements so your entryway doesn't feel too overwhelming. 

If you want the look and warmth of wood and the convenience and durability of tiles, consider wood-look porcelain tiles. They don't scratch, they're waterproof, and they can withstand temperature changes, all of which make them ideal for an entrance hall. There are plenty of options to choose from: natural, rustic, modern, and exotic wood finishes to suit the style of your home. 

Add a wow factor to your entranceway using mosaic tile accents, including glass tiles, stone, and mixed-material mosaics. Mosaics are extremely versatile. Get creative with how you use them. We love using mosaics to create focal points, borders, or murals that add visual interest to the entryway. 

If you're going for a more luxurious and timeless look, natural stone tiles are the way to go. Marble, travertine, and slate may be more expensive, but they're beautiful and look natural. Select from a variety of colors and patterns to create the look you prefer. Keep in mind that natural stone tiles tend to be more porous, so you'll need to seal them every few years. 

If you have a small entryway or you want to create the illusion of more space, consider large-format tiles. They have fewer grout lines than smaller tiles, so they make the space feel bigger. They're also generally easier to maintain. Pick from a variety of materials, including porcelain slabs and natural stone from Wayne Tile Company with sizes up to 24 by 48 inches.
