Artistry abounds with today’s ceramic tile collections. With the ability to mix and match tiles—long one of the material’s most popular characteristics—the possibilities are limitless. Bold, textured patterns can bring a sculptured quality to an entire wall, or draw the eye by contrasting with the smooth tiles surrounding them. Complementary grout colors are ideal for highlighting uniquely shaped patterns; or choose grout in the same color as your tile for a more subtle interest.
