Backsplashes
-
Ceramic, stone and glass mosaic tiles are used most often as backsplashes. Backsplashes are the wall areas between countertops and overhead cabinets. Homeowners usually place tiles as backsplashes because they are easier to clean than painted walls. To make a ceramic, mosaic or stone tile backsplash more creative, arrange various colors to match with the décor of the kitchen or use preprinted tiles that have designs or pictures on them.
Shower Stalls
-
Shower stalls can be decorated creatively in the same way as backsplashes. Using tiles of various colors and textures in a shower stall makes it stand out from other showers in the neighborhood. Textured stone tiles make the bathroom feel earthy and calm and can give a person the illusion of showering in a waterfall.

Fireplaces
-
Stone tiles also look great surrounding fireplaces. Homeowners should use tiles that are resistant to high temperatures. Mosaic tiles can be used to create symbols, family crests and monograms around the fireplace.
Islands and Countertops
-
Use various colors and textured tiles for the tops of kitchen islands or counters. Broken tile pieces arranged in haphazard designs create an individual look on the top surfaces, or cover the exposed sides of islands. Try applying different stone tiles on islands in homes with other rustic décor items.
Floor Mats
-
Instead of purchasing floor mats, make your own permanent mats by placing a small rectangular section of tile in front of your outer doors, on the side of your home. Use various tile types and various colors, or printed tiles with pictures, designs or letters that you want to use to make up your tile welcome mat. Consider writing such things out of the tiles as "Welcome to the Home of The Penningtons."
