When thinking about materials such as glass, metal, and copper for a bathroom or kitchen remodel it isn’t uncommon for tile not to make the list. However, these options exciting trends are popping up more and more in modern styled bathroom and kitchen remodels and new construction. These tile trends, coupled with new ways manufacturers are able to print designs on to tiles, are rapidly growing in popularity.

Designers like using glass on shower walls, to accent flooring, and on kitchen backsplashes because it delivers a look and feel ceramic tiles and other manufactured tiles don’t provide. There are opportunities for etching glass tiles, too, and adding color to further enhance the room’s design. This tile trend offers homeowners the opportunity to add some elegance and sparkle in a new and unexpected way.

The finish of the glass is available in as many varieties as traditional ceramic tiles, as well. Designers can choose from glossy to flat finishes in any color they desire. Do you want to add some dynamic twists to your designs? If you want to create a bathroom that mimics a spa, add glass tiles from floor to ceiling on one of the walls. Keep in mind the majority of glass tiles are created from recycled glass, so this tile trend is eco-friendly.

Are you trying to match the stainless steel appliances in your kitchen, but stone or ceramic tiles just don’t fit the bill? Consider using metal tiles instead. Metal wall tiles compliment your appliances, as well as range hoods made from stainless steel or copper. Because metal and copper wall tiles come in a variety of patterns and styles, this tile trend allows homeowners and designers to put on their creative thinking caps. Do not be afraid to experiment to achieve the perfect look.
