Blush Tile Ideas You’ll Love

[ad_1]

Blush at the thought! Consumers aren’t being shy about a desire for a fresh start this year. Interior designers and manufacturers are answering the call with a fresh take on a warm neutral: blush. Sherwin-Williams has selected a blush hue as its 2023 color of the year. Likewise, Farrow & Ball, the iconic wallpaper and paint brand has issued 11 new colors — their first new colors in four years — and three of the 11 fall solidly in the blush hue. And, we’ve seen other big brands, such as Valspar and Better Homes and Gardens at Walmart, identifying blush as a major decor inspiration.

We couldn’t be happier about blush’s rising popularity. A versatile tone that blends the grounded coziness of earth tones with the energetic playfulness of pink, it transitions well from winter to spring (and back again). 

Somehow both statement-producing and understated, sophisticated and snug, blush is beautifully expressed in ceramic tile. 

Rather than continue to sing its praise, we’ll let you see for yourself. Here are some of our favorite places to use blush tile as well as some potential designs to explore.

Where to Use Blush Tile

The easy answer is “everywhere,” but here are some of the best places to show off this trending color in your tile projects.

Blush Kitchen Tiles

Blush tiles can be used throughout your kitchen, including on a backsplash, flooring, or even your countertops.

Blush Wall Tiles

This feature wall combines a random arrangement of cream, gray and blush wall tiles in terrazzo looks and patterned designs.

If a backsplash doesn’t provide quite enough space to show off your blush tiles, expand into a full feature wall. Blush wall tiles are also the perfect alternative to paint or wallpaper for an accent wall to create a pop of color — you get all the statement, plus the durability and low-maintenance of ceramic tile.

Blush Floor Tiles

This Northampton design incorporates different blush tones that range from pale blush pink floor tiles to a complementary shade of coral blush floor tiles.

Blush floor tile can create a sophisticated neutral base as well as a playful, one-of-a-kind look — just check out the option above.

Blush Bathroom Tile

How many shades of blush can you spot in this blush tile bathroom? We spy two shades in a contemporary vertical stacked subway tile design.

What better place to surround yourself with the soothing energy of blush tones than the bathroom? Blush bathroom tiles are a beautiful and smart choice for areas exposed to moisture, such as bathroom backsplashes, showers, countertops, and floors.

This indoor-outdoor space features two different shades of blush tile: a blush pink option for the wall and a more neutral blush for the pavers. 

Take blush tiles from indoors to outdoors for flooring, pavers, walls, outdoor kitchens and more.

Blush Tile Designs We Love

Now that you have an idea of where to use your blush tile, what design should you go with? 

Don’t worry, we have a few ideas to get you started.

Blush Subway Tile

An expansive feature wall with white and blush subway tile steals the show in this restaurant.

One of the best things about subway tile is the potential for creative alterations. For example, you could stack the tiles, lay them horizontally rather than vertically, or even mix up the colors. 

Or do all of the above, which is exactly what this gorgeous blush pink subway tile wall illustrates.
