Even manufactured tile has gone far beyond the 4 x 4 square, as you can choose from hexagons, octagons, oblongs, diamonds, and rhomboids, in many sizes. Mesh-mounted basketweave- and herringbone-pattern tiles update traditional patterns.

Tile is found throughout the house, not just in the kitchen and bath. It’s a durable finishing material that approaches a true art form. Use it to add style or period sensibility to an entryway, a fireplace surround, a wet bar, a fountain inside or out, a conservatory, or a floor.
