Mid-century modern design has recently resurfaced as a top trend in home design, proving it\u2019s a timeless aesthetic that won\u2019t soon go out of style. If you\u2019re looking to renovate or remodel your kitchen and you\u2019re as enamored by mid-century design as we are, look no further than these ideas for retro-inspired kitchen tiles.<\/p>\n

Tile Ideas Inspired by Mid-Century Modern Design<\/h3>\n

Mid-century modern style is characterized by sleek, clean lines, minimal ornamentation and splashes of color, contrast and pattern. When it comes to choosing the perfect tile for your kitchen backsplash, walls or floor, here are a few ideas for achieving a mid-century look with tile.<\/p>\n

#1. Go geometric.<\/strong>\u00a0One of the tenants of mid-century design is the use of geometric patterns. Organic shapes like a\u00a0leaf mosaic<\/a>\u00a0or arabesque tile are more subtle, while\u00a0hex<\/a>, triangle and chevron tile arrangements create a more dramatic look. Retro\u00a0patterned tile <\/a>is also a beautiful and unique choice sure to enhance your kitchen.<\/p>\n

#2. Find a retro color.<\/strong>\u00a0A tile backsplash is a great opportunity to add a pop of color to your mid-century kitchen. Look for tile with hues inspired by the 50s, 60s or early 70s. Teal, mustard yellow, red, powder blue, seafoam green and orange are all striking options. If you don\u2019t want to go too bold, mix a few colorful tiles into a neutral design.<\/p>\n

#3. Consider a straight set design.<\/strong>\u00a0The mid-century modern movement was characterized by clean lines and simple, uncluttered design. To echo this in your kitchen tile, straight-set tile arrangements can be the perfect choice. If you\u2019re using a subway tile or something similar, a straight design gives a neat, modern and surprisingly unique appearance to this backsplash.<\/p>\n

#4. Don\u2019t skimp on texture.<\/strong>\u00a0The mid-century style is clean and simple at its core, but that doesn\u2019t mean you should avoid texture\u2014quite the opposite. Go for visual texture to make an impact with your mid-century-inspired kitchen tile. Adding texture can mean anything from choosing small tiles (which will create lots of grout lines), to using tile that is literally textured, such as\u00a0linen tile<\/a>\u00a0or brick-look ceramic tile. Even something as simple as a deeper beveled subway tile adds instant drama in a mid-century modern way.<\/p>\n

#5. Create contrast.<\/strong>\u00a0Finally, to create a cohesive mid-century aesthetic in your kitchen, contrast is the way to go. You could pair two contrasting tile colors (such as black and white), use two different tile materials for the floor and backsplash, or use a darker grout on light-colored tile. In any case, creating contrast is a simple and classic way to bring life to your kitchen design.<\/p>\n","protected":false,"gt_translate_keys":[{"key":"rendered","format":"html"}]},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
