  • Rustic ceramic tile
  • Natural stone

Deco Pattern Tile

Deco pattern tiles have left their mark on interior design. With geometric shapes and bold colors, deco pattern tile makes a visual impact.

 

Fireplace Tile in Action

To highlight what’s possible for fireplaces when you design with unusual tile patterns, textures, and styles, consider this installation that Classique Floors + Tile completed. It features a 9″x 2.5″ heavily textured tile by the name of Inax Hikkaki in color white.
