Ceramic tile comes in a wide array of sizes, shapes, textures and finishes to give you the creative freedom to update any wall of your room. Natural hues and bright shades can enhance indoor and outdoor areas with the look you choose. This wall tile is durable, fire- and moisture-resistant, and easy to clean, which makes it a smart option for your bathroom, kitchen or fireplace.
Covering a wall with ceramic tile? That’s great news, because you’re officially giving yourself permission to play and unleash your creativity and style. Unlike floor tile, which must be rated to hold up to specific amounts of impact and wear, just about any tile can be used to decorate a wall. In other words, there’s really no risk of falling in love with a tile sample only to find out it isn’t possible to use for your project—if you like it, go for it!
Whether you’re installing a full ceramic shower wall or adding a trend-forward backsplash for a quick powder room refresh, there’s a tile to match every décor style. And who hasn’t dreamed of having a bigger bathroom? Tile is a great option for enhancing the feeling of space in a powder room or guest bath. Arranging subway tiles or pickets horizontally makes a space feel wider, while a vertical layout adds height. Going with large-format tiles can visually open up a bathroom you wish was larger—perfect for a primary bath update when you can’t borrow square footage from elsewhere in the house.
When you update your kitchen with glazed ceramic wall tile, you expand the possibilities for your home’s style. You don’t even have to update all the wall space in the room; simply incorporating a smaller decorative element with a border or waterfall feature can make a big difference. In fact, you don’t even have to use more than one style or size of tile in your kitchen to create a designer look. For instance, simply arranging the same tile you use for your backsplash in a herringbone pattern above your stove creates just enough texture and movement to keep things interesting, without competing with other design elements in the space.
