The tiles in the bathroom, kitchen or other living spaces no longer have to be square or rectangular. Nowadays, a wide variety of shapes are offered as an alternative to be able to design every area of the home in a very special way. These interesting shapes include not only the hexagonal tiles, but also the trendy fish scale tiles, which we would like to introduce to you in today's article. As the name suggests, these are tiles for floors or walls that are reminiscent of the scale pattern of fish. They are not only suitable for the bathroom, but also for other rooms and not only look oriental, but also extremely modern in combination with other tile shapes.
The fish scale tiles are best suited as an accent in the room. They are often used in the bathroom to highlight the shower or as a tile backsplash in the sink area. They also work very well as tile backsplashes in the kitchen, where they can add texture and lively color to simple, monochrome kitchen cabinets. If these two rooms are not enough for you, feel free to use them in others too. In the living room, for example, the fireplace can be designed with them, but the lively tiles with a fish scale shape are also very welcome in the hallway and create a wonderful atmosphere. It is not uncommon for Moroccan tiles with a fish scale shape to be used outdoors. On the terrace, the beautiful patterns can create various accent walls or even be used for the floor.
A variety of color options for shed tiles
Although the fish scale tiles ratheroriental and Moroccanlook, they can be wonderfully combined with modern furniture designs and this applies to every room. In fact, the minimalist designs and shapes make the tile shapes stand out particularly well. So if you want to combine these two styles, it is not only possible but desirable. The fish scale tiles don't necessarily have to be colorful and eye-catching. Simpler and more neutral colors such as white or gray are also great for creating an elegant interior design.
The fish scale tiles can have a wide variety of designs. Whether it's a noble marble look, a rustic and Mediterranean stone look, shiny surfaces that are reminiscent of Moroccan designs or the classic, monochrome surfaces - something suitable can be found for everyone. There are also different sizes that you can choose between. Small models create the look of mosaic tiles, while larger models are more effective. It is not uncommon for tiles in different shades of one color to be combined on a wall, which reinforces the mosaic effect. Nuances of the color blue such as light blue, dark blue and turquoise are very common, although there are also a few heregreen nuancescan get lost in it. Of course, this can also be done with all other colors.
Before you buy the fish scale tiles, think carefully about what exactly you want to achieve. What kind of atmosphere do you want to create? Because every color combination has a different effect. In themselves, the scale-like tiles are maritime, but depending on the choice of color and color combination, an additional interpretation can be added to the design that adapts to the rest of your furnishings and decoration. Combinations of blue tones or blue and green are quickly associated with the ocean and can be used for a maritime interior. If you use red in combination with orange tones, the tiles can be associated with the beautiful koi fish and are therefore ideal for an Asian-inspired interior, among other things. In general, this warm color combination looks very energetic and upbeat. Green scale tiles are reminiscent of a lush tropical forest or an underwater world and accordingly create such an atmosphere indoors. But green is also very suitable for outdoor use.
The direction
And which direction should the scales face? Well, you can decide that for yourself. On the walls, whether in the bathroom, living room, kitchen or terrace, the tiles usually face either upwards or downwards. While upward-facing scale tiles are intended to radiate positive energy, downward-facing fish scale tiles create beautiful wavy lines, which in turn has a calming effect. You can also be more unusual and attach the scales to the left or right. The tile models look no less interesting when they decorate the wall diagonally. So as you can see, there are no rules. You also have free choice when it comes to flooring. Below you will find examples of all of these variants.
