Antique White Arabesque Tile

A Mixture of Colors for Pattern

Choosing a multi-colored arabesque tile backsplash allows more opportunity to create unusual and interesting patterns. By alternating antique white arabesque tile with dove gray arabesque tile, a subtle diagonal, horizontal or vertical pattern can be achieved. Arabesque tile colors with a marked contrast can create a pattern. This pattern could be overwhelming for a small backsplash. For best results, choose two colors that complement each other. This is how you’ll get a sophisticated effect.

A Subtle Mix of Finishes

You can create patterns in different ways. Choose a mix of matte and glossy tiles for your arabesque tile backsplash. The subtlety of tile in the same color with a different finish gives you the ability to create patterns. These patterns will glow. They will change with the light in your Brooklyn home. Ambient lighting can be selected to make the most of this look. It will emphasize the sparkle of the glossy tiles contrasted with the simple grace of the matte tile pattern.

Grout Colors for Your Arabesque Tile Backsplash

Using grout colors to change the look or intensity of the pattern can be a fun way to emphasize the unique look of your arabesque tile backsplash. However, it is easy to overdo what should be a subtle effect. Arabesque tile creates a busy, ornate pattern. Dark grout may create a look that is too bold. Darkening the color of the grout should take place in small increments. A test of the final look before committing to grouting the entire backsplash is wise. It is difficult to remove grout or lighten the color of it once it is in place.
