There is an abundance of tile options available on the market. Even so, it can be difficult to find exactly what you’re looking for. You may have a specific idea in mind that you can’t let go. You may have also seen some inspiration on Pinterest or Instagram but can’t seem to find it for yourself. The wonderful thing about custom tile is that if you can dream it, we can make it. Your daydreaming can become reality easier than you think!

One great thing about custom tile is that it is completely unique to you. Tile is art, so adding your own creativity and design into your tile makes it that much more special. More specifically, tile is art with function. Instead of finding something to simply cover your walls, why not incorporate tile that truly speaks to you? Custom tile can range from simply adjusting your color choice to creating an entire image out of small tile mosaics. The options are endless!

Here are 4 ways to dream up your perfect custom design:

Finding the perfect match can be difficult. Let’s say you’ve bought the most beautiful green towels for your bathroom, and you think, “Why not get floor tile to match?” Well, of course! Why not? While hunting for your bathroom tile, you notice the green of your dreams is either too light or too dark. What to do now? Make it custom! With custom colors, you can match almost anything. You also have the ability of creating tile that works best for your space without the limited color choices. More freedom in creativity makes for a better outcome. In the images below, you can see two ceramic tiles with the same pattern but different colors. This product is completely customizable. This way, you are able to create a design that works perfectly with the style and theme of your space.

You can (literally) make a statement by incorporating words into your tile design. By saying “Welcome” in the front entry floor, you can make all who enter feel special. You could also create a fun laundry room addition, similar to what you see in the image above. These designs are so impactful for a space because they can quite literally speak to you. It is also a very personal way to use a tile installation.

Don’t know what to say? Here’s some inspiration:

The artistry in mosaic masterpieces is phenomenal! With these intricate designs, you can turn a functional design addition into a piece of art. It is incredible that we can turn tile into a scenic dream. In the image above, we see what looks to be a large art piece but is actually a functional tile wall. When we talk about the unique properties that custom tile can bring to a space, this is exactly what we mean! The likelihood of you finding someone else with a tile wall this special is slim to none.

Sometimes the best design contains a little bit of everything. In the image above, you can see where the homeowner has incorporated several shades of a hand-painted tile in order to give a diversified look for the kitchen backsplash. This style gives the space dimension and complexity. Also, with this style, you can incorporate several colors that you enjoy and create the shade range of your dreams. In the image below of the beautiful kitchen sink, you can see where a client has mixed and matched to create the most stunning combination. The individuality of this space is beyond compare.

Art takes time and creativity in order to get the best result. By stepping out of your comfort zone, you can create the most unique and special design that will inspire you for a lifetime. When incorporating tile into your home, think about how you want it to speak to you. What do you truly want your interior design to say? What are you wanting to express? These questions can help you decide how you want your interior design to be seen. Maybe captivating custom designs will be just the thing that you and your creative soul needs!
