1. Add Drama With Rust Details

Rich, rust-colored Kasbah Cross Terracotta tile is interspersed with creamy Kasbah Star Bone tile to create a unique checkerboard pattern on the floor of this opulent hotel-esque bathroom. These hearty tones are echoed in the expressive rust-colored veining of the Arabian Pisa Oro marble look tile inside the shower. We love how the handmade-look Coco wall tiles—in White Matte and Canvas Glossy—contribute a subtle visual texture that doesn’t compete with the bold hues.

1. Reduce Noise With Luxury Vinyl Flooring

Affordable luxury vinyl flooring offers the timeless look of wood or stone with exceptional durability, making it a perfect choice for your barndominium. With wear layers up to 28 mil., luxury vinyl planks help absorb noise while providing comfort underfoot. Easy to install and maintain, this versatile flooring comes in a wide range of realistic wood and stone designs to match your style. Plus, because it’s a 100% waterproof material, it’s ideal for bathrooms and entryways. (Thinking about a DIY project? Read our complete guide on How to Install Vinyl Flooring to learn more.)

2. Choose Laminate Flooring for Easy Installation

Like luxury vinyl, laminate is a durable, easy-to-install, and low-maintenance flooring option that replicates the look of real wood. The key difference between the two is water resistance: laminate is not a waterproof material, so we recommend avoiding it in spaces like bathrooms, laundry rooms, outdoor spaces, or anywhere else where floors will experience exposure to high amounts of moisture. Available in a variety of wood-look designs—including herringbone patterns—laminate flooring offers both beauty and affordability.

3. Showcase Your Personality With Patterned Tile

If wood isn’t your style—or if you want to distinguish a specific area of your barndo—patterned tile offers a stylish solution. From floral to geometric, these designs let you showcase your personality and unique aesthetic. In this charming barndo mudroom designed by @plmdesignsllc, Laura Ashley Mr Jones Charcoal tile adds character with its whimsical floral pattern, inspired by the iconic British brand’s textiles. Explore our wide selection of patterned tile to find the perfect look for your space.

4. Add Distinction With Natural Stone

While synthetic materials deliver style, durability and affordability, natural stone brings a one-of-a-kind character to your space—perfect for adding distinction to a prefab barndominium. In this @saramoltumyr-designed space, the natural beauty of Andoni Black slate tile creates a striking focal point. Like man-made tile, stone is a hard material, so it won’t absorb noise as effectively as vinyl or engineered hardwood. However, when used in an entryway, it sets a sophisticated, welcoming tone.

5. Protect Your Floors With Wood-Look Tile

Waterproof and scratch-resistant, wood-look porcelain or ceramic tile delivers both style and durability. Ideal for moisture-prone areas like bathrooms or entryways, it’s even suitable for showers and wet rooms—allowing you to bring the warmth of wood into spaces where real wood isn’t practical. However, because tile is a hard material, it won’t absorb noise as effectively as luxury vinyl or hardwood, making it a better choice for secondary rooms rather than main living spaces.

6. Extend the Floor With Versatile Cement-Look Tile

Cement is a popular flooring choice for barndominiums, but if you’d prefer to avoid the upkeep of regular sealing, cement-look tile (like the Softcement Graphite tile shown here) provides a stylish, durable and low-maintenance alternative. It’s also more versatile than cement, giving you the option to extend the look onto walls—or even a half-wall, as seen in this chic industrial-style bathroom designed by West Bay Homes.

7. Add Natural Beauty With Engineered Hardwood

Sustainable, durable and easy to install and maintain, engineered hardwood delivers natural beauty in a modern format. Consisting of a real wood veneer and a composite eucalyptus core (up to 15 mm thick), it also helps absorb sound, reducing echo in your open-plan barndominium. This makes it an excellent flooring solution for your great room, especially if you want to bring a natural element into your home.

8. Keep Comfortable With In-Floor Heat

Luxury vinyl, laminate, tile, stone and engineered hardwood all share one key advantage: compatibility with in-floor heat. A barndominium’s large, open footprint can make heating more challenging, but heated floors provide added warmth and comfort from the ground up—keeping your space cozy even during the coldest months.

Finding the perfect flooring for your barndominium is easier than you think! Shop our wide assortment of engineered wood, luxury vinyl and tile for every budget and style.

1. Up Your Game with a Stone Checkerboard

The checkerboard pattern is creating champion spaces throughout contemporary homes. We love how Timber Trails elevates this fashionable design with alternating squares of Noir and Silver Mist limestone tile. The natural veining in the stone tiles adds lovely movement–notice how the tiles are thoughtfully installed to alternate the direction of the veins.

2. Make It Charming & Chic With Modern Farmhouse

3. Add Visual Texture with a Cement Look

Cement is a staple of industrial design, but this transitional mudroom–designed by West Bay Homes–proves that this urban look can also feel warm and inviting. The Sofia Charcoal cement-look porcelain tile* features rich shade variation that adds visual texture to the space. Paired with the taupe-painted cupboards, this simple tile brings an unexpected touch of sophistication.

4. Add a Neutral Pattern

Maintain a neutral palette without sacrificing style with a patterned tile in grey, brown or beige. Here, the Britannia Soho tile* incorporates all three colors in an ornate design. The floor tile perfectly complements the dark grey walls, creating a contemporary mix of warm and cool neutrals.

*This tile is no longer available; achieve a similar look with Britannia Camden tile.

5. Go Geometric

The diagonal lines of the Rango Taupe matte hexagon tile bring a playful sense of movement to any space. This tile can be installed in a variety of ways, depending on your desired design, but we love how @eosinteriordesign created a starburst pattern on this mudroom floor. The warm color adds depth to the white room, but you can achieve a similar look in black and white with the Rango Blanco tile.

6. Choose Stone for a Sophisticated Space

Dark and earthy, Noir limestone tile offers the unique variations inherent to stone, while its black and brown tones will hide the appearance of dirt. We love how Julie Howard of Timber Trails installed this subway tile in a brick-lay pattern to evoke a cobblestone pathway.

Shop limestone tile to bring this natural look into your home.

7. Embrace a Black and White Pattern

A simple black-and-white tile is the perfect complement to a range of design styles. Keep it neutral or pair it with color and pattern, like in this bright and bold space designed by @magnolialakbuild. The Cloth Black and White floor tile features a textile-inspired check pattern that holds its own against striking dark green details and floral wallpaper.

8. Add Movement with Herringbone

Classic and chic, a herringbone pattern infuses any space with an elegant sense of movement. You can create this pattern using virtually any rectangular tile: a large format tile will make your space feel more expansive, while a herringbone mosaic or subway tile–like the Jerica Cenzia floor tile shown here–adds visual interest.

9. Fill Your Space with Color and Pattern

If your home is bright and colorful, your mudroom should match the mood. This vibrant space, designed by Zig & Co., embraces the more-is-more ethos of dopamine decor. The Laura Ashley Mr Jones Midnight tile is paired with bold wallpaper, a green door and blue cupboards. The key to this design is a simplified color palette; all the elements are unified in shades of blue and green. Discover more ideas to fill your home with unending cheer in our guide to dopamine decor.

10. Create a Contemporary Classic with Hexagon Tile

This classic six-sided shape is enjoying a contemporary design resurgence. Surprisingly versatile, hexagon tile comes in a wide variety of sizes, colors and styles. Mix and match two or more same-sized hexagons to create a custom pattern or use a single tile to create a monochromatic look–like this chic Spicy Salty Sweet Home-designed mudroom featuring the Silver Hex tile.

11. Tile The Walls

Don’t forget to protect your walls! This inviting mudroom, designed by Janelle Mattson, features the Nuovo Riad Creme tile for a stylish, durable and easy-to-clean wall treatment. The color variation in the creamy beige, handmade-look tile adds beautiful visual interest while perfectly complementing the tone of the off-white cabinets.

12. Embrace English Country Cottage Patterns

Embracing whimsical patterns and cheery colors, English country cottage style has made its way across the pond to enliven American homes. Here, @toledogeller shows how to incorporate the look without overwhelming the space. Featuring the Laura Ashley Wicker Charcoal floor tile, the simple black-and-white geometric pattern is beautifully paired with cornflower blue cupboards and walls.

The post 12 Stylish & Durable Mudroom Tile Ideas appeared first on The Tile Shop Blog.

From realistic wood-look tile to charming patterns–read on for 10 ideas on how to use tile to achieve an authentic modern farmhouse aesthetic in every area of your home.

1. Install Wood-Looks Everywhere

Organic materials and textures are essential to the modern farmhouse style, but some areas–like bathrooms and mudrooms–might not be suitable for hardwood floors. A wood-look porcelain tile or luxury vinyl tile combines the rustic look of hardwood with superior durability. Waterproof and stain-resistant, these materials will keep your bathroom, mudroom or deck looking nice through the years and won’t trap bacteria, like real wood can.

Explore real and faux wood materials in our wide selection of wood and vinyl flooring. 👉

2. Make the Hearth the Focal Point

This living room, with its white walls and wood accents, is classic modern farmhouse style, but the real showstopper is the charming fireplace. The Look Avio tile is expertly incorporated for a pop of color that complements rather than detracts from the minimalist appeal of the space. With its emphasis on simplicity, you’ll want to use color sparingly, but the rich, natural blue-green tones in this tile perfectly enhance this living space.

3. Personalize Your Space with Perfectly Imperfect Details

The popularity of modern farmhouse style has led to a market saturated with mass-produced homespun decor. While we adore a “live, laugh, love” sign as much as the next person, incorporating personalized touches helps create a space that feels both individual and timeless. Crafted, painted and glazed by hand, Zellige tile brings authentic character to your home. Each tile on this charming bar backsplash, designed by @creatiffdiy, showcases its own shape, texture and coloration, forming a perfectly imperfect tableau that captures the elevated, homey appeal of modern farmhouse design.

For a perfectly imperfect design with a little more predictability (and a slightly lower price point), shop our wide selection of handmade-look tile.

4. Add an Americana Pattern

If you’re under the impression that pattern has no place in modern farmhouse decor, think again. A charming motif brings character to your space while maintaining its folksy appeal. The Star floor tile in this chic mudroom complements the blonde wood tones and black accents, evoking classic Americana while remaining neutral enough for the modern farmhouse style.

Explore a wealth of motifs to suit your space and style in our wide selection of patterned tile. 👉

5. Make an Elegant Tableau with a Marble Mosaic

Elevate your modern farmhouse style with a simple yet luxurious marble mosaic, like the Sampson tile shown here. The open shelves along the backsplash are both functional and chic. The beige and white tones in the mosaic tie in with the countertops and gold hardware, while the basketweave motif evokes a classic homespun look enhanced by the elegance of natural stone.

Discover beautiful designs to enliven your space in our wide selection of mosaic tile. 👉

6. Embrace Color

Although modern farmhouse style is known for its crisp whites and warm neutrals, there’s still plenty of room for color. When selecting tile, maintain a cozy feel by choosing soft or muted tones that complement the whites and neutrals in your overall decor. Often considered neutrals themselves, cool greens and blues can enliven your space.

Here, Laura Park Bespoke tiles in Aegean Blue and White are arranged in a charming checkerboard. The cool, muted blue—echoed in the cabinets and shelf—brings a subtle coastal touch to this modern farmhouse kitchen.

7. Add an International Flair with Spanish-Style Pavers

Your home doesn’t end at the back door; extend your modern farmhouse style onto the patio with beautiful, durable tile. Porcelain tile is a great choice for outdoor spaces—it’s weather-resistant and available in a wide range of looks to suit any aesthetic. Pro tip: choose a matte finish for better traction when wet.

This charming patio, designed by @ShoeMakesNew, features Provenzal Alhama Cotto tile. Inspired by the terracotta tiles emblematic of Alhama de Granada, Spain, its distinctive design brings a worldly touch to this American home while still aligning with the neutral palette and warm coziness of modern farmhouse style.

8. Showcase an Ornate Pattern

A tile picture frame—created by “framing” a patterned or mosaic tile with trim—is a perfect way to elevate a simple design and add personality to your sink or stove backsplash. To incorporate this decorative feature into a modern farmhouse look, try pairing an ornately patterned tile with a neutral subway tile.

This elegant kitchen features a wall of Coco White Glossy subway tile with a stunning focal point created by framing Morris & Co. Pure Net Cloud Grey tile with Firenze Carrara Somerset and DURAL Plus Gold trim. Inspired by an 18th-century wallpaper design, the decorative tile offers a beautiful detail to admire as you complete your kitchen tasks.

Shop this beautiful lace-like design in this, and three more popular colorways: Linen, Brick and Inkwell.

9. Keep It Traditional with White Subway Tile

Sleek and versatile, white subway tile lends itself to a myriad of styles, making it a perfect choice if you think you might want a room refresh before you’re ready to renovate your entire space. Here, the Royal Satin White marble subway tile backsplash embodies the organic texture and authentic materials that are trademarks of modern farmhouse style. Off-white cabinets and a vintage picture frame complete the aesthetic. We can easily imagine sitting down for a good meal and a good chat in this homey Rashida Banks-designed kitchen!

If you love this kitchen tile classic, shop our wide selection of subway tile. 👉

10. Add Textured Details

Texture adds depth and interest to any design, but it’s especially important in modern farmhouse decor. Patinaed details and raised patterns create a layered look and help your home feel like it has a story—resulting in a warm, welcoming space.

This cozy-chic kitchen features the Victoria Blanc wall tile (also available in Gris Fonce). Inspired by the pressed tin tiles popular in Victorian homes, the raised patterns and patina accents add historic character and a sense of storied charm while maintaining a warm, neutral palette.

We invite you to take a tour through this charming and stately home brimming with inspiring design choices that showcase some of our favorite tile.

Mudroom

Comfort and elegance combine to create this charming mudroom. Contemporary, yet timeless the Laura Ashley Wicker Dove Grey tile provides balance to the bold reddish-brown walls and intricately patterned window coverings.

Powder Room

A wealth of beautiful textures and patterns meld to create intrigue and allure in this bold, yet pleasing powder room. The sculptural Harmony Silverleaf tile adds visual interest to the ceiling and complements the hanging crystals. While the soft white Meram Blanc Carra tile center the lower-half of the room in sleek comfort that contrasts the large floral wallpaper.

The elegant and classic Meram Blanc Carrara polished tile, rustic mirror, light-wood cabinetry and organic accents combine complex textures for a look that is both captivating and inviting.

Living Area

For the indoor/outdoor living area, Kelli takes a more minimalist approach. The bright white walls and Siberian Pearl Brushed marble floors create an airy open space filled with natural light. A simple color palette keeps focus on the seating area, where family and friends can gather.

Kitchen

The kitchen is the heart of any home, and a place to find nourishment and build memories. The white counters and cabinetry work with the Retro Lino backsplash to make the space feel clean and vivid. The glass doors display the dishware for a lived-in feel.

The clear coat glaze on the Retro Lino subway tile reflects the light, providing extra illumination to the cooking area. Check out our post on Kitchen Backsplash Ideas for more inspiration.

Primary Bathroom

Soak in the lush neutral tones that create an opulent space, at once soft and bright. The brown veining in the Tresana Blanco Matte porcelain tile bring out the room’s color palette with subtle appeal that doesn’t detract from the bathroom’s clean luxuriousness. Browse our wide-assortment of bathroom tile for the perfect look for your next home project.

Boys’ Bathroom

This blue-plaid room invokes a classic boyhood feel. Straight lines and a monochromatic color scheme maintain a sense of order while still being youthful. The white grout line crossing through the Splendours Blue Night shower tile is an inverse to the white and blue wallpaper (find more shower tile on our website). While the more uniform Glass Nautical Blue backsplash creates a block of color that is strong without detracting from the rest of the room.

The subtle sheen of the Ionic White floor tile provides a sturdy, unassuming base to the patterns that play throughout the room.

Guest Bathroom

What guest wouldn’t feel at home stepping into this gorgeous shower? The Bulevar White ceramic tile has a subtle wavy texture that soothes the senses. The clean white tile also provides a gentle buffer between the bold patterned wallpaper and the marvelous McQueen Grey stone mosaic tile accent.

Guest Bathroom

The Legno limestone tile mimics the look of woodgrain to create an organic texture that is also durable. A warm grey palette and linear veining complement the textured accents in the cabinets and wall sconces. Read our post for even more luxurious bathroom design ideas.

Bar

The focal point of the home is this stunning bar. At once contemporary and reminiscent of retro glamor, the Antique Mirror Bevel tile and gorgeous gold and glass hanging lights are captivating without being obtrusive, making this the perfect place to enjoy a cocktail with friends.

The Antique Mirror Bevel tile reflects the fireplace and billiards room beyond, creating depth while still maintaining the intimacy of the space.

Laundry Room

Laundry is less of a chore in this beautifully designed room with its fresh, clean aesthetic. The soft blue and white color palette lend a calmness to this space. The solid, simple coloring of the walls and cabinetry bring a balance that allow for more interest in the floor tile, Decora Ornament Blue, which brings a sophisticated charm to the room.

Pool Bathroom

The Art Nouveau-inspired design on the Decora Redondo cement-look wall tile lend a classic elegance to this pool bathroom. The grey shapes perfectly balance the blue coral and candle used to accent the sink area, giving the room a subtle aquatic feel.

We hope you found inspiration to bring to your next home remodel with this tour of West Bay Homes’ Sun Coast Estate! To see even more stunning spaces designed by Kelli Fontana – and learn a bit about her her design process – check out this Q&A.

The post West Bay Homes’ Sun Coast Estate appeared first on The Tile Shop Blog.

If you’re anything like us, you’ve been continuously inspired by the timeless interiors created by Julia Marcum, the design mind behind the popular blog, Chris Loves Julia. Ever since partnering with the husband-and-wife duo in 2012 on their very first kitchen remodel, we’ve had the chance to work with them on a variety of projects, including their moody Modern Cottage primary bathroom and a guest bath showcasing marble from top to bottom in their new Modern Colonial home.

This time, we’ve asked Julia to create four tile-focused mood boards, making it easier than ever to achieve her elevated traditional-meets-modern aesthetic in your own homes.

Julia’s Kitchen Mood Board

For this fantasy kitchen, I was very inspired by our current kitchen, but I wanted to give it more of a mid-century modern twist. – Julia

Julia’s choice of the Elisir Royal Fume Chevron wood-look flooring offers a light and elegant base for the moody olive green paint and Petal Emerald Mosaic to bring stunning drama to the space. “How cool would this mosaic tile be as a backsplash?” Julia wrote. “A backsplash is a statement-maker.” If you’re looking for more kitchen tile inspo, explore our 13 Beautiful Kitchen Backsplash Ideas.

Julia’s Bathroom Mood Board

This is a very elevated take on a ‘coastal’-inspired bathroom. This is the perfect example of letting the tile set the tone and personality of the space and then making selections that support it. – Julia

“The tile that inspired it all!” Julia wrote about our Zara Blue. “As someone who loves designing with color, this blue tile would make such a statement.” We love a bold tile pattern, and Julia did not disappoint with her choice of this attention-grabbing floral tile. Coordinating it with the neutral Imperial Gris Subway offers an effortless balance of visual interest and calming softness.

Julia’s Dressing Room Mood Board

Everything about this dressing room is feminine and delicate, starting with that jaw-dropping tile. – Julia

Julia’s dressing room pick, the Lafaenza Oro Crema, offers the best of both worlds – the luxe appearance of natural stone along with the durability of porcelain. We adore the warm, soft accents and furniture pieces she paired with the tile to pull out its shading. “When I saw this tile, my heart stopped. I might have to sneak it into our bathroom/closet remodel next year. It has the most feminine, pink undertones,” Julia wrote.

Julia’s Mudroom Mood Board

This utilitarian space is earthy and neutral, but far from ordinary. The textured tile would make a mudroom feel historic and full of character. – Julia

Pulling from one of our favorite collections, Julia chose the brick-look Jerica Ceniza for this charming, rustic mudroom. “Subway tile, but make it textured!” Julia wrote. “This almost looks like a herringbone brick, but it’s porcelain. Would bring so much character to a mudroom.“
