No Risk, High Reward: White Tile That's Anything but Basic

There’s really no way you can go wrong with white tile – its versatility is a superpower. And while white tile is inherently timeless, don't let its universality fool you into thinking it's basic. Playing with shapes, transitions and variations can ensure your white tile is a low key stunner. Continue reading to learn more ways to use white tile.

1. Chevron Diamond Tiled Shower

White subway tile is always a classic, but exploring different shapes is one way you can add more creative flair to your tile design. A chevron tile statement wall, like in this bathroom shower, keeps the vibe upbeat.

3. White Diamond Tiled Island

A white diamond tile island embodies this kitchen’s lively aesthetic, but doesn’t compete with the bold, bright yellow walls. In this Hedley & Bennett kitchen, our 130 White is a  glossy and perfectly varied option to complete this happy space.

4. Ombré 'River' Kitchen Backsplash

You can also use white tile to create either a striking or subtle color transition in your design. This oven backsplash designed by Construction2Style used white subway tile to anchor a black and gray ombré “river” pattern above the oven range.

5. Geo-Hex Ombré Tiled Front Desk

Taking a more understated approach, Brow Chic Salon used hexagon and diamond tile in a combination of neutrals to transition their statement wall from white to dark gray tile. An ombre from grey to white is becoming a hit amongst our clients and it is the perfect way to make a minimalist statement.

6. White Hexagon Tiled Kitchen Backsplash

Because each of our glazes are hand-applied, every single tile that leaves our studio will be distinctive in its own way. You can also play around with variation in the glaze. Whereas a high-variation glaze means there will be a wider range in shades, hues, and textures, a low variation glaze will appear more uniform in color. This kitchen backsplash used hexagon tiles in a high variation white to create an organic, natural aesthetic.
