Tile: Not Just for Flooring

John Coker • Sep 04, 2020
An increasing number of homeowners in Peoria, IL are discovering that tile is not just for flooring. In fact, there are several creative uses for tile, and you can let your imagination run wild at Builders Warehouse. We offer a range of tile choices in different sizes, colors, and materials to choose from, along with an experienced team that will help you select the right tile for whatever you have in mind. If you need some stimulation, here are several clever approaches to consider. 

Beautify Your Kitchen Island
In many homes the kitchen is the most popular room, and a place that often reflects the homeowners’ tastes and style. One great way to make your kitchen stand out is by adding tile to your kitchen island – specifically, the front and sides. And with so many colors and tile styles to choose from, such as slate, wood, marble, and glazed, you’ll have some terrific options for matching your new island design to your kitchen’s existing colors and styling.

Put the Focus On Your Fireplace 
One of the most popular tile trends near Peoria, IL over the last several years involves introducing a tile motif to the home fireplace. For centuries, the fireplace has served as the focal point of countless homes worldwide – either through its undeniable aesthetic appeal or the enjoyment of gathering around a warm fire on a cold winter’s night. If you’ve been thinking that your fireplace needs a finishing touch to really shine, our local home improvement store is the place to go. Our friendly staff will assist you in achieving a timeless, elegant look with natural stone in a neutral or deep tone, or an equally appealing glass mosaic tile that creates an entrancing shimmering effect when combined with firelight. 

Add an Accent Wall 
Wall tile is already established as a go-to solution for a stylish backsplash or shower, but what about using wall tile to create an accent wall? This idea works well in a bedroom, where the tile can be used as an accent wall to replace your bed’s traditional headboard. Or, invest in the wall tiling of your choice to create an unforgettable entryway or foyer to charm guests and family. With wall tile, the possibilities are numerous for adding some pizzazz to a space you might decide is too simple.

Revitalize Old Furniture
Nowadays there’s a well-established cottage industry dedicated to refurbishing old furniture. Repainting, re-staining, and reupholstering couches, chairs, and tables is extremely popular, and now you can add tiling to the list. Have an old table that’s ready for a makeover? Put your own stamp on it by adding tile to the tabletop. to the top of it. Our nearby tiling company has a tile type for tables of all shapes, sizes, and uses – for example, glass tile for a decorative table, and ceramic tile for a dining table. The addition of tile to an old table brings texture and style aplenty.
