Notice something familiar in this one-of-a-kind floor? That’s probably because it’s a twist (albeit a rather big one) on classic hardwood. This herringbone pattern uses three different colors of wood looks, and this flooring isn’t hardwood at all, but ceramic tile. Ceramic tile has the added benefits of water, scratch, and stain resistance — essential…

Of course, what you notice about this tile isn’t its usefulness, but the creative design. The tiles combine to create a look that is entirely unique. Aside from the obvious appeal…
Subway tiles were first used in the early 1900s in New York City’s subway stations because of their stain-resistant, easy-to-clean low maintenance. While the subway tiles of today still enjoy these superior qualities, they’ve left their monochromatic white design behind to try out designs of all sorts, including different tile sizes, textures, and even dimensional…
This bathroom allows for more freedom. Because ceramic tile is waterproof and has nonslip options, it can also create a curbless shower entry and give more people the ability to bathe independently.

We spy four unique designs in this bar, but only one material: ceramic tile. Ceramic tile comes in a limitless amount of design possibilities, including the warm wood look of the floor, the multicolor mosaic of the bar front, the brick-like 3D tile wall to the left, and the pristine white mosaic tile behind the…
