Choose a Hero Tile

One Bold, One Subtle

Pair a patterned tile with a solid neutral for visual harmony.

Stick to a Unified Palette

Use tiles with complementary tones, even if patterns vary.

Add Texture Variety

Glossy backsplash + matte floor visual interest and depth.

Mix Shapes, Not Chaos

Hex backsplash? Pair it with rectangular floors for contrast without clutter.

Use Grout to Tie It Together

Choosing the same grout color for both tiles can create visual flow.

Mind the Pattern Size

If one tile has a bold pattern, keep the other small or subtle.

Define Spaces with Transitions

Add borders or different tile zones to divide kitchen and dining areas.

Be Bold, Stay Balanced

Mixing tiles is creative just keep color, scale, and texture in sync.
