Design Trends: White Tiles After Labor Day
By Kali
It is already that time of year again...Summer is quickly coming to an end and the (perhaps dated) notion of putting our whites until spring inevitably comes up. Luckily, you do not have to worry about that with tile; whites are here to stay. Always a classic choice, white tiles just work. Whether it be in a clean offset, a playful pattern or a geometric shape, you've got a good thing going. We'll show you a few of our favorite ways to use whites below; from the brightest whites to warmer hues.
Tile:
We have a bevy of whites to choose from in both our Recycled Clay and our White Clay Body. From bright, glossy whites to crackly, warmer tones--we have a full range to choose from.
Looking for a bright white? Try our White Gloss or White Wash. If you'd like a matte finish, Daisy or Calcite will do the trick. For a bit of crackle texture, try our Frost.

Tile Shown: Frost is a great option if you want a bright white with a crackly, engobe finish.
Are you interested in a bit of warmth to your white? Our Tusk is one of our favorites to recommend. For a bit of crackle, we like to suggest Ultra Cream, Clear Glaze and Shell.

Brick:
There is just something so nice about a white brick. We have two beautiful whites, Cotton and Snow; they actually look amazing installed together too!

Glass:
Going for glass? We've got whites in this department too. Like their ceramic tile counterparts, Queen Anne's Lace and Jasmine, both come in matte and gloss options--which make for easy textural pairings.
