The Timeless Charm of Arabesque Tiles

Arabesque tiles are well suited for creating decorative mosaics that add visual interest and artistic flair to a space. Depending on the choice of color and placement, their intricate patterns can be used to make a bold statement or to add a subtle, decorative element to a room.

Shop by Color

When choosing a color palette, consider where you will be installing the tiles. Lighter colors, like white arabesque tile, are great for smaller spaces. Going with white tile in this case will also help balance the intricate mosaic created by arabesque tiles, keeping the space feeling airy and spacious.

When installing these tiles in larger spaces, you can get bolder with your color choices. For example, a blue arabesque tile accent wall in an open concept living room will create a striking focal point in the room.

Shop by Finish

As with color considerations, whether you opt for polished or matte arabesque tiles will depend on how and where you intend to use them. 

If you are looking to install arabesque floor tile, it is a good idea to go with a matte finish. Matte tiles’ texture makes them well-suited for floors, including those in high-traffic or wet areas, as they provide better traction compared to their polished counterparts.

When installing arabesque backsplash tile, a fireplace surround, or an accent wall, a polished finish may be a good choice. The additional brightness of polished arabesque tiles enhances the ambient light and emphasizes the ornate patterns of the arabesque tessellation.

 

Shop by Material

Arabesque tiles come in various materials, each offering their own aesthetic and functional characteristics.

Marble Tile

Marble arabesque tiles combine the natural beauty of marble with the distinctive elegance of the arabesque shape. The natural veining and variations in color of each tile mean that no two pieces are exactly alike, providing a counterpoint to the uniformity of the mosaic design.

 

Limestone Tile

Limestone arabesque tiles offer an earthy, muted look that can add warmth and texture to a space. The natural matte finish of limestone makes it a versatile choice that works just as well on floors as it does on walls.

 

Ceramic and Porcelain Tile

Ceramic and porcelain tiles offer versatility and durability, making them popular choices in their own right. When formed into the beautiful arabesque design, these materials blend traditional patterns with the practical benefits of these mainstay materials. This is especially helpful for adding this classic style to bathrooms, showers or fireplace surrounds.
