Picking the perfect tile

Picking the right tile for different parts of your home can be a tough task on its own, but then figuring out what pattern to lay your tile is quickly your next step. A fun pattern can add character to a simple tile while a simple pattern might be the perfect pairing for  a unique tile.

A bathroom can be a great place to create a fun space, especially with different tile options. Picking a classic subway tile can be a great option for shower walls but laying them in a herringbone or parquet pattern can elevate this simple tile. 

Laying tile vertically rather than horizontally can also change the look of the space. Vertical and horizontal patterns can be straight stacked or offset by different distances. Depending on the look you are going for, straight stacked tiles can look great with other details in your space. On the other hand, laying your tile offset by ½, ⅓, or even ¼ can add a different look to your shower, backsplash or anywhere else you put tile in your home. 

Adding different shaped tiles together can also change the look of the space. You may want a simple and clean look with all white tile, but want to add something unique yet subtle. Using different sized squares together can create a different look than a regular grid of all the same size tiles. Mixing squares and rectangles in the same design can also add some extra character to your space.

These decisions may be hard to make, but our team at Blue Star can help you out every step of the way. From helping you decide which pattern to lay the tile or giving you options for the tile themselves, we want to make sure you love the updates to your home.
