Think of tile as your home’s punctuation mark. It adds character, energy, and rhythm to any space. At APW Flooring, we believe tile should be more than functional—it should be fun. Whether you want to make a splash or add a subtle twist, creative tilework gives your home instant personality.
Tile is the one surface in your home where you can get wild with pattern, color, and layout without going overboard. A single accent wall in bold tile can make your bathroom feel like a boutique hotel. A herringbone kitchen backsplash transforms meal prep into a design experience. Even something as simple as a hexagonal mudroom floor can turn routine into ritual.
We encourage customers to start with inspiration but end with intention. What mood do you want to create? Soft and calming? Go with muted tones in a matte finish. Energetic and eclectic? Choose geometric patterns or vibrant Mediterranean motifs. Classic and clean? Subway tile is timeless—but laying it vertically or with dark grout gives it a modern edge.
Grout, by the way, is your secret design weapon. Contrast grout outlines shapes and makes patterns pop. Matching grout blends and softens. Metallic grout? Oh yes—it’s a thing.
Large-format tiles are trending for a reason: fewer grout lines, more visual continuity, and a modern, seamless vibe. But don’t sleep on small tiles. Penny rounds, mosaics, and Moroccan zellige tiles offer an artisanal, hand-crafted touch that big tiles just can’t replicate.
And don’t limit your creativity to walls. Statement tile floors are making a serious comeback. We’re seeing checkerboards in laundry rooms, bold encaustic-style tile in entryways, and graphic tiles under freestanding tubs. These are floors that beg to be noticed—and remembered.
Tile also plays a huge role in defining zones in open-concept layouts. Want to visually separate your kitchen from the living area without a wall? A dramatic tile transition can do just that.
At APW Flooring, we work with homeowners to mix and match styles in a way that feels cohesive, not chaotic. We’ll help you pair bold with basic, matte with gloss, or even natural stone with industrial-inspired looks. Tile is the playground—your imagination is the limit.
From Kennebec to Kipling, Chalybeate Springs to Holly Springs, homeowners are discovering the joy of tile design. Whether you're remodeling a single room or building from scratch, we’re here to help you make it one-of-a-kind.
