Stylish Entryway Floor Tile
Your choice of entryway, foyer or mudroom tile helps form the first impression of your home when you cross the doorstep. Beyond just being a place to drop a bag, hang a coat or kick off your shoes, entryway design offers an opportunity to create a thoughtful transition space between the outside world, and the world inside your home.
Showcase your personal style as soon as you step inside by choosing a fun, unique tile layout that elevates your space. Turn functional tile into a design feature by creating a “runner rug” out of tile, mixing and matching different colors in a checkerboard, or laying tiles in a herringbone or chevron pattern.
How to Choose Floor Tiles for Entryway Use
• Shop by material: In high-traffic areas like entryways, installing a durable material is equally as important as appearance. Choose from materials that will hold up to years of heavy use, from manmade materials like cement, ceramic or porcelain entryway tiles, or natural stone entryway floor tile in like marble, limestone and travertine.
• Shop by color: A bright pop of color right inside your front or back door can make a functional space like a foyer or mudroom feel special.
• Shop by shape: From individual field tiles to expertly designed mosaics, there are many floor tile shapes that work well in entryways, including rectangular, square, hexagonal and geometric.
• Shop by size: Large-format entryway and foyer floor tiles are popular because they have a widening effect that makes the space feel larger. And with fewer grout lines, large-format tiles can simplify cleaning and maintenance, too.
• Shop by pattern: Coordinate your entryway with your overall home décor with tiles featuring subtle textural designs, intricate florals, bold geometric accents and more.
