Looking for a catchy tile type to spruce up your kitchen? Take a look at arabesque ones! This classic and vintage-infused tile is unique, it’s both curvy and sharp, and you won’t see it often, so your backsplash will stand out. The arabesque shape allows you to break away from standards like subway tile, while still embracing the look of a regimented, staggered pattern. How to apply arabesque tiles to your kitchen? Let’s see.
What Styles Can Welcome Arabesque Tiles?
A vintage space will look very nice and chic with arabesque tiles that are whimsical and vintage-inspired, too. What about more modern spaces? In a contemporary or minimalist kitchen, too many straight lines can result in visual coldness. Counter square or rectangular elements and streamlined furniture by bringing a lovely pattern with arabesque tiles, too. It provides elegant movement without interrupting the home’s modern edge.
