Choosing Fireplace Tiles Is Easy

By Mike Hartwick


It can be unreal what remodeling your fireplace can do for both the appeal and the value of your home. There is a huge selection of materials you can choose from for your fireplace project; however tile is really the best option. Tile has it all, good looks, durability, and all at a price which makes them a great investment.

Installing new tiles will add a luxurious look and feel that can be totally unique to your fireplace. Tile has been used for all types of building projects since antiquity. Natural Stone and Victorian fireplace tiles are always popular choices. Other types like Edwardian tiles, Mexican, Art Deco, and Art Nouveau tiles also are also popular for fireplace designs.

If you are lucky you'll be able to find the tile you want on sale. To find good deals on tile, it's always smart to do a little bit of price comparison before deciding on the type you want to buy. And by taking some time to hunt for sales, a homeowner can frequently upgrade to a better design or a better quality. Because the entire project can be completed with way less tile than others, giving your fireplace a face lift is really affordable.

Natural stone tiles such as marble, slate, and granite are really elegant when paired with a fireplace. Two of the most preferred natural stone colors are black and brown. When these colors are chosen, a bold statement has been made, one that will continue to be bold and beautiful for many years to come. Porcelain and cement tiles can both mimic the look of the finest cuts of granite, marble or slate. These tiles are often the second choice if natural stone is out of a homeowner's budget.

The most effective way to plan your fireplace is to simply choose colors and patterns that match your home decor. But don't forget to keep your personal taste in mind too. You should always take your time when picking out tile that way it will guarantee that it will not only match but look good in your space. There is something for everyone especially if you love flowers and antique designs.

Whatever material or pattern you choose, when using tile, you really can't go wrong. And with so many options the only limit is your own creativity!
