How To Choose A Wall Color That Makes Your Textured Floor Tiles Pop

Textured floor tiles are a great way to add character and enhance the style of your home, while still making it a comfortable place to be. Textured tiles vary from a typical flat or smooth surfaced floor and often come in styles like stone, mosaic, and concrete, among others. However, one issue with these floors is finding the right wall color to accompany them. To find a combination that makes the textures pop, consider the light or darkness of the tiles, the colors and undertones, and the grout color.

One way to make textured tile surfaces stand out is by contrasting with light and dark. For instance, textures are harder to see in lighter colors, so for white or cream mosaic tiles, consider bold, jewel hues or black walls to highlight the details of the floor. Not only do these paint colors look expensive, but the contrast of the walls can draw attention to the room and the floor's surface. Darker tones bring out texture, so for concrete or slate tiles, offset the darkness and shadows of the floors with a light-colored wall that has the same warm or cool undertone as the floor. The contrast will ensure the floor is the focus of the space.

Another option to make your floor pop, especially if you have unique textured tiles with multiple shades, is matching your wall to a color in the tile. Not only is this a fun way to emphasize the floor and make the color stand out, but it also ties the space together for a cohesive appearance. You should pick your paint color last when designing a room, and as you're looking for the right one, be sure to bring the tile with you so you can easily get an idea of what the combination will look like.

If your tile has several hues or lots of texture, try coordinating your tile grout to the walls or pairing your eye-catching tiles with neutral paint colors that'll make your home feel relaxing. Matching or choosing a neutral shade close to the grout will blend the rest of the space together so your textured floors can be the focal point. To pick the right tone, try testing colors in small patches around the room to get an idea of how the wall color, grout, and tiles work together.
