Matching Floor And Wall Tile

This makes for a fun and modern way to match wood flooring with wall coverings.

Matching floor and wall tile.

A popular tile design trend is using floor tiles to run up the sides of the walls and then using a strip of dividing mosaic to partition the space between those tiles and another style running up the rest of the wall. Floor to ceiling tiling with black feature tile wrapping 3 walls and large format tiling on the floor and other walls. A simple way to make sure they match is to use a lighter shade of wall tile and a darker shade of floor tile. Floors with an orange undertone look pleasing to the eye paired with wall colors in the blue family.

Light floors with a yellow undertone are a great pairing for purples. The tiles are adhered to the backer board using thin set adhesives applied with a notched trowel. These bathrooms make the case for matching your wall tiles to your floor tiles. First an underlayment of cement backer board is installed against the subfloor or wall studs.

Once dry the joints between tiles are filled with a paste like mortar based. In this bathroom three tile types are combined successfully. Tiny hexagonal mosaics on the bath and walls medium hex tiles on the basin surround and large oblong tiles on the floor. Take the funky back from the dead textile and splash it across everything from your walls to your floor tiles to your shower making a bold statement in your washroom.

Floors with a red undertone such as cherry look pleasing with green wall colors. Both floor tiles and wall tiles are installed using similar processes.
