When it comes to making a bold statement with ceramic tile, nothing compares to a well-designed color gradient tile installation. These vibrant, flowing designs bring movement, energy, and artistry to any space—whether you’re working with classic subway tiles, modern Moroccan Fish Scales, or stacked squares. One of our most popular custom starting points, a color gradient tile design lets you choose from our full palette of glaze colors to create a seamless transition from one hue to the next. The result? A truly custom, high-impact visual moment for your space.
Here are 7 standout color gradient tile projects that showcase the versatility and beauty of this technique:
1. Plant Penthouse Pink & Green Tile Color Gradient
In collaboration with Shayla Owodunni of The Plant Penthouse, this project uses stacked vertical 4"x8" ceramic tiles in a dreamy palette of whites, pinks, and greens. The colors flow organically from one to the next, even though they're quite different—proving how flexible our team can be when crafting a personalized colorful tile design. It’s a perfect blend of botanical charm and modern design, ideal for spaces filled with plants and personality.
2. Vantage Collection Green & Blue Square Color Gradient
The Vantage Collection, a luxury apartment complex in Jersey City, features a dramatic stacked square tile color gradient in greens and blues. The backsplash becomes the focal point of the space, enhanced with natural wood tones and greenery. It’s a prime example of how colorful tile can elevate a room while maintaining an organic modern aesthetic!
