Fun Designs To Try With Modern Porcelain Tile
April 07, 2018
Porcelain tile has been a staple in home design for centuries. And as you’ll see here, it is still a desirable material that is durable and exquisitely beautiful…but with a modern twist.
As styles evolve, porcelain designs do too, capturing the essence of high-style in any space it is installed. Bathrooms, kitchens, entries, and living spaces can all be transformed effortlessly with modern porcelain tile designs that enliven your style with their color, pattern, and texture.
Some of the key benefits of porcelain tile are that it is sturdy, easy to clean, and requires no ongoing maintenance. These are the very qualities that have drawn homeowners and designers to this versatile material again and again over hundreds of years.
And today, with the advent of modern engineering and manufacturing, printing tiles with unique patterns makes a wide range of high-style tile options available to anyone with an eye for design. Let’s take a look at some of our favorite porcelain tile looks.

Reclaimed hardwood walls are all the rage, and for good reason. They add texture, warmth, and character to any room. However, real wood isn’t the most practical material, particularly in bathrooms or kitchens—but that’s precisely where our gorgeous Rainforest Taupe Porcelain tile shines!
While this may look like an intricate pattern that took eons to install, the truth is that this modern porcelain tile comes in 6x24 planks that are printed in a pattern that resembles reclaimed hardwood. In other words, it’s quick and easy to transform your bathroom, kitchen, or outdoor haven into the rustic and natural haven you’re dreaming of.

If you desire a subtler modern porcelain look, look no further than our White Glossy Fish Scale Porcelain tile. In this modern kitchen, the pleasing shape adds both texture and character, and the contrasting dark grout makes the repetitive pattern the star of the space.
Installation of individual fish scales tiles would be painstakingly difficult and frustrating. In contrast, these tiles are mesh-backed and interlock to create a seamless, perfect installation.
