The Once-Favored Tile Trend That May Be Dating Your Bathroom
By V BAWA
Accent tiles come in different forms now, but the classic style that used to be popular in the 90s and 2000s is the cluster of a few horizontal lines that cut across the space.
The tiles are typically different in terms of color, size, and layout so the horizontal band can create a sharp contrast with the rest of the tiles and add some visual interest.
In a recent TikTok post, interior designer Phoenix Grey revealed that “These super busy accent mosaic tiles really do not add the personality and flair that you thought they did.”
Accent tiles in a thick horizontal band have a negative effect as they disrupt the visual flow. “This visually stunts the height of the room [...] and adds more clutter,” says Grey.
Instead of the classic horizontal lines, consider using accent lines in different forms. You can form a vertical band or even create an accent wall for a subtle yet modern touch.
