Black And White Tiles: 5 Creative Ways To Use Them

Black and white are two colours that scream classic and timeless in every way possible. If you venture deeper into these colours, you will find that they represent ‘light and dark’ or the duality of life. You can add more depth to the combination by experimenting with patterns or even by throwing in the same-family colours to bring more drama. 

In fact, many patterns are available in the individual collections of these colours, which you can explore here and here.

Black and white tiles are the perfect amalgamation of both colours to make a brilliant design. With the latest Estillo 2.0 series, you can see a variety of patterns in black and white designs, some of which include block floral prints, kaleidoscopic and pentagonal patterns, and so on. In fact, some tiles like the OHG Parallel Illusion Black HL go a step ahead to create exquisite illusions for your viewing.

With these fantastic features of black and white tiles now clear, let’s check out some of the ways to use these tiles in your home.

Black & White Brick Tiles

The best way to go for a rustic, vintage and timeless look with these colours is to use black and white brick tiles. A good collection to start with these brick tiles is the Elevation tiles at Orientbell Tiles, which are as durable as appealing to the eyes. They require minimum maintenance and can be cleaned easily. The best part? You can match both black and white tiles together on a wall and make it look sassy. Whether you go for creating a wall concept or highlighting one wall with these tiles, the look of your space will stand out.

Mix With Greys

Although both black and white tiles are capable of making a pattern by themselves, having a third wheel in the form of a different colour is always welcome. For a more detailed pattern, you can go with the same family’s colour – grey. Greys are subtle yet noticeably different. This allows them to make their case against the powerful black and white colours. For instance, some highlighter tiles of the ODH collection have a geometric design. They are subtly merged with both colours and can be used standalone or with other tiles for an elegant effect. They are best installed in bathrooms and kitchens or can create an accent wall.

Kitchens and bathrooms are the wettest places of your home. Moreover, kitchen tiles face oil stains, while bathroom tiles may have stains of water, soap, etc. This makes getting germ-free and anti-skid tiles crucial for installation in such places. Thus, if you want to go for new tiles, you can look at tiles specifically made for kitchens and bathrooms.

Moroccan-Style Tiles

Moroccan-style tiles have their own individuality when it comes to their detailed and alluring design. One of the reasons why they have surged in homeowners’ wants to incorporate them in their interior decor.

The tiles from this range are inspired by Moroccan Art, bringing style and elegance to wherever they are installed. You can also try the GFT BDF Moroccan Art Grey FT from the Ft-Autumn 2.0 collection for an understated yet modern floor tiling for your living room.  The matte finish of the tiles gives a polished look to the Moroccan design that instantly stands out. Notably, these tiles are highly durable and can last long with minimal maintenance. Kitchen, living room, porch, entryway and even the lobby, these tiles can be laid anywhere!

If you like the dizzy feeling of the geometric patterns of black and white lines, you can create a concept wall with mosaic tiles. You will find some great options for the same in the OHG collection.
