BEYOND THE RECTANGLE: EXPLORING SHAPED TILES

Friday, August 12, 2016

Today there are more interesting shapes, colours, sizes, and textures of tile to choose from than ever before.  The traditionally square or rectangles tiles are increasingly replaced (or complemented) by more playful shapes like hexagonal, echelon, penny round, chevron and others. Even the more traditional shapes are made more exciting through interesting laying patterns, such as herringbone.

Below we explore some of our favourite picks for uniquely shaped tiles. For even more examples of unique shapes, follow our Instagram account, where we’ll be posting finished interiors and products featuring neat tile shapes.
