You might think of tiles as being square or rectangle, but ceramic tile comes in a wide variety of shapes. Circle tile (or penny round tile), hexagon tile, triangle tile, trapezoid tile, and diamond tile are all popular tile shapes, and tile is also available in irregular shapes for a one-of-a-kind design.

Whichever tile shape you choose, the tile layout, color, pattern, and texture will all contribute to the look of your project. The same tile shape can look completely unique when paired with different design choices.

You have a lot of options to select from, and picking your tile shape is a great place to start. Explore our different tile shape examples below to get started, and then visit our Tile Shapes page and Pinterest board for more tile shape ideas.
