Bold, eye-catchy and even unique tile is one of the hottest current trends in bathroom decor. As for unique shapes, I can name, perhaps, two types of tile: arabesque or Moroccan and fish scale. Today’s roundup is dedicated to fish scale tile and ways to incorporate it into your bathroom to achieve a maximal effect.
What Is Fish Scale Tile?
Sometimes called fan tiles, scallop tiles, or mermaid tiles, a fish scale tile is perhaps the most elegant infusion of style and substance. Their aesthetically pleasing arrangement adds an element of charm to feature walls, bathroom walls, and even floors. These teardrop shaped tiles are a contemporary design pattern that adds life and texture to any surface.
