Modern Tile Options for Any Application

Modern Tile Options for Any Application

Modern tile looks beautiful in nearly any area of your house from the kitchen to the bedroom. Tile even works outside for creating beautiful patios and walkways. 

Choosing a style can be a daunting process when there are so many kinds of modern tile flooring and other applications to pick from. If you’re trying to decide which type of tile to use, this blog will guide you through the best modern tile options for your home. 

What is modern tile? 

Defining the modern aesthetic is difficult because it incorporates so many different styles. A design element can be considered modern because of the material it’s made from or simply the way the material is used. As you can see from Tile X Design’s modern tile collection, this style includes everything from wood to porcelain tiles in nearly every size, shape, and color. In this collection, you’ll find a combination of bright colors, bold geometric designs, and unique textures. Let’s explore five of the best ways to achieve a modern aesthetic with tile below.

  1. Modern Floor Tile

Changing your flooring is one of the most impactful ways to update your home. Not long ago, tile was used mostly in the kitchen and bathroom. However, tile is an increasingly popular flooring choice for nearly any room in the house. To achieve a modern appearance in your home, consider an option such as Allure by Italgraniti. Not only is the tile a sleek and modern alternative to wood floors, using it in the bedroom, as pictured above, is a modern choice in itself.

  1. Modern Kitchen Tile

Whereas tile in the living room or bedroom is a more modern choice,  modern kitchen floor tile is much more common. However, that doesn’t mean you’ll be short of unique and interesting options when it comes to flooring in the kitchen. Concrete, limestone, and terrazzo are all contemporary choices.   

Adding a tile backsplash is another great way to modernize your kitchen while also making it easier to clean and more functional. Tile has been a popular choice in the kitchen for years, so there are countless options available. 

One way to make your kitchen tile feel modernized while embracing the past is to incorporate a bold pattern or color. The Pop by Saroria tile pictured above modernizes the classic subway tile look by paying tribute to the past with unique layout and an eye-catching color. 

  1. Modern Bathroom Tile

When it comes to the bathroom, you also have nearly endless options for modernizing your space with tile. The floor, walls, and even the ceiling can be tiled. 

One of the best ways to create a modern shower tile aesthetic is to use geometric designs and bold colors. The beautiful Lake Minnetonka home pictured above is an excellent example of how different colors, textures, and sizes of tile can be used together in a cohesive modern design.  

 

 
  1. Modern Pool Tile

Tile is a great material for your kitchen, bathroom, and even the bedroom, but it also works great outside. One of the best places to incorporate tile is around the pool. 

Because it needs to withstand chemicals and be water resistant, pool tile must be durable. However, that doesn’t mean you’re stuck with limited options. Modern pool tile comes in numerous colors and textures, and many kinds of tile are made to mimic natural materials.

  1. Statement Walls and More 

Speaking of natural materials, modern tile can also create a wild and natural sense in your home with surface designs. The Clorofilla Slabs by Fioranese above perfectly embody the modern biophilic design trend. This dramatic design would work great on a tile accent wall where you want to make a statement. 

Keep in mind tile isn’t just for your bathroom or kitchen. Tile can be used to create a statement in any area of your house.
