Classic and timeless tile designs are typically top-of-mind for anyone building or updating their bathroom or kitchen. Styles that transcend time but can still create a unique look offer homeowners the advantage of building once and building right. This effort stretches their investment dollars into the long term and also makes it easier for resale.
A tile style growing in popularity lately are Picket Tiles. Inspired by the hexagon tile and named after the ever-popular picket fence, picket tiles are elongated in the center and slimmer for a more modern and unique look. As an added benefit, these tiles can be installed in three distinct patterns adding versatility to your design.
Straight Horizontal
Essentially, installing your picket tile in a straight horizontal pattern acts as an option to traditional subway tile with an added accent. This option can also help to make smaller spaces look larger.
Straight Vertical
A great option to make your room look taller is to install picket tiles vertically as they guide the eye up and down. Selecting a lighter color with light grout can also help smaller rooms look larger.
Diagonal Picket Tiles
Another excellent way to add a unique style to your room is to use a diagonal installation pattern moving from one corner of your room to the opposite end. This makes a great accent wall option to break from the “norm” and give your design a special touch.
