Textured tiles: A 2023 trend
I’m sure you have seen the natural looking texture tiles like stacked stone, marble, brick, etc. What is new though is textured wall tiles that appear manmade, geometrical, and/or with cool new stylish patterns that make you feel like they are straight out of a magazine.
So should you consider adding some textured wall tiles? Here are some pros and cons:
Textured Tile Pros
- Eye-catching – Let’s be honest, what is more likely to stop you in your tracks?
- Unique – Using textured wall tile can help you separate the look and feel of your space from the masses. This is especially useful in commercial spaces such as restaurants and hotels.
- Looks amazing up or down lit – The textured surface combined with a properly placed wall washing light creates dramatic shadow effects on your wall that are guaranteed to Wow.
Textured Tile Cons
- Harder to clean – Adding texture to a wall adds ledges for dust and dirt to collect.
- Could be a fad – Remember glass block in the 90s? There is always the chance textured wall tile could go out of style in similar fashion.
- Can be difficult or expensive to install – Installing wall tile in general can be a tough task. Installing some of the more complicated textured products is often even more difficult if you are looking for perfection. I would recommend getting a professional installer if you want to ensure the job gets done right.
