4 Ways to Harness the Lavish Look of Tile

We’re always looking for interior design tips for wealthy, luxurious interiors that can purposefully incorporate tile. Some of our favorites lately showcase just how versatile tile can be when it comes to creating a lavish look.

Overflowing with Style

Sometimes, abundance is one of the easiest ways to achieve a lavish design. Rather than having small areas that showcase a high-quality piece, turn an entire room into a gallery for your creative vision. We love the feeling of being completely enveloped in luxury that you get from this dramatic bathroom from @thetxcollective. Our Nola Green Cement Tile is a bold choice that fully transports you into the lush ethos of this upscale Texas country retreat.

The effortless abundance of our Blush Zellige 2”x6” tile in this expertly renovated bathroom from @colastudios is another example of the lavish look that tile can help create in a space.

When a bold, beautiful floor-to- almost) ceiling tile is allowed to expand beyond the shower into the vanity, we come away feeling like no expense was spared in creating the dream space for this homeowner.

The Majesty of Monochrome

Committing to a monochromatic color scheme is a design trick that can go awry, but when done right, the intensity of this lavish look is sure to impress a crowd. The brilliant @colastudios understood the assignment with their use of a rich monochromatic tile installation in this shower.

Our Steel Gray 2”x6” Zellige tile covers everything in this enclosure, including the niche. Even though the hardware is gold rather than gray, the highly reflective surfaces of both tile and hardware help mesh the colors in the space. 

A Focus on Luxury

We love the idea that high-end tile can support a lavish and wealthy-looking focal point in many spaces. In this magical bathroom designed by @eclectic_twist, the grand marble tile wall sets the tone for the whole room.

Metallics and oversized pieces coordinate well with our Norwegian Rose 6”x12” marble tile, serving as the backdrop for one of the most glamorous baths you’ve ever had.

For a more understated inspiration that still exudes a wealthy look with tile as the focal point, we’re loving the jewel-toned design in this bathroom from @glamournest.

The neutral tub and window shades focus attention on the deep, rich, dramatic luxury of our Emerald Green 2”x6” Zellige tile. Your eye is drawn to this bold feature, reminiscent of a bygone era that valued upscale elegance.

Neutrals of the Highest Quality

Luxury can come from bold and dramatic, but you can also highlight the feeling of wealth and elegance with exquisite quality neutrals. Light, bright, minimalist styling is one of our favorite ways to incorporate an understated but wealthy look with tile. The stunning bath in @nicholnaranjo’s home is the epitome of lavish neutrals.

A truly upscale look with neutrals relies on impeccable details. We love that she used gold hardware to offset the gray tones in our Casablanca Carrara marble tiles. Combining tile sizes and shapes helps add interest to the muted color scheme without being overstated or busy. 

Rather than being a neutral space because it lacks style, this bathroom is the perfect example of how crisp, clean, and luxurious neutral styling can be.

It can be intimidating to create a wealthy look in your home, but armed with these ideas, we feel much more inspired to harness the lavish look of tile in our next projects.
