Glass Tile
While certainly not a new innovation, glass tile has gotten a facelift in the past few years, with many new designs, sizes and styles now available. Glass tile is great for any home with kids because it's very durable. Additionally, glass tile doesn't absorb moisture and will not become stained. Glass tile is easy to clean and simple to install - perfect for anyone looking to DIY their new tile flooring.
Some of the many new styles of glass tile now on the market include jelly bean glass tile - a fun and friendly addition to any room that looks just like it's name - jelly beans!; sphere shaped glass tiles; .5 inch wide matchstick tile designs; and curved glass tile options.
Subway Tile
Although a fashionable choice since the 1930s, subway tile is anything but old-fashioned. Called subway tile because it was originally used in the subway tunnels of New York, this versatile glass tile is extremely easy to install and can really change up the look of any room. Some of the most popular uses of subway tile include in bathrooms, showers, fireplaces, for kitchen backsplashes (it's incredibly easy to clean!), walls, and other areas where a clean and elegant look is desired. Subway tile can be combined with other types of glass or mosaic tiles to create a one-of-a-kind look, or it can be used on its own for a more classic feel.
Glass and Stone Tile
Last but not least, glass and stone tile mosaics are an extremely trendy way of combining the modern look of glass with the elegant style and coloring of stone. You can find many different blends of the two, in gorgeous designs that are guaranteed to make over any room. Best of all, glass and stone tile designs give you the expensive look of marble or granite flooring - without the cost. Moreover, you can mix and match glass and stone blends to complement nearly any room or color scheme.
