Combine the two to create an unforgettable design that will leave your guests in awe. Keep reading to learn about 6 spaces that flawlessly combine warm and cool hues with handmade tile...

1. Mid-Century Modern with a Twist

This sleek and chic design changed the game for all the Mid-Century Modern lovers out there. It took a trend known for it's warm bright hues and sleek lines and put a modern and tasteful twist on it to create an inspiring design.

The New York City staple Fish Cheeks NYC is making some serious waves with it's tropical Moroccan Fish Scale interior. This is the perfect example to show how warm and cool hues can perfectly complement each other with tile.

4. Custom Tile Lettering

One of our favorite things to do with tile is custom lettering. We always say that if something inspires you, put it in tile. In this case, Mojo Monkey Donuts is inspired by donuts! When it comes to custom tiled lettering, you want your words to stand out. One way to let your tiled lettering shine is to use contrasting hues. In this case, even though blue and red are on opposite ends of the color wheel, they work together to create a one-of-a-kind statement mosaic piece.

5. Chevron Ombre Backsplash

Ombres don't have to be in the same hue. In fact, we recommend getting creative when it comes to this fun design. Instead of the ever-so-trendy black to grey to white ombre, let your personality shine with an ombre of warm and cool hues. This Construct2Style chevron backsplash is the perfect example of showing how mixing warm and cool hues can turn your kitchen into a mosaic masterpiece.

6. Statement Backsplash

Sometimes unexpected designs are the most impactful and that's certainly the case when it comes to this Steller Hair Co. custom backsplash. We want to push the boundaries of traditional design when it comes to tile. To us this means unique shapes, creative patterns, contrasting colors, and loads of personality. Combining all of these pieces into one would seems like an interior design nightmare, but to us it creates pure magic. We want to encourage people to think outside the box when it comes to glaze color. One way to do this is intentionally and thoughtfully mixing pops of warm and cool hues into the same design.
