Let Hex Tiles Put a Spell on You
Go graphic with your walls, floors, splashbacks and more with 10 hexagonal tile ideas that really stand out
One of the most common requests I get from my clients during a renovation is to add hexagon-shaped tiles. But with so many different options in sizes, colours and materials, it can be hard to know the best way to use them. Here are 10 fresh ways to incorporate these tiles into your home for maximum impact.
2. Mix and match
There’s no rule in bathroom design that says you can’t use more than one type of tile. Feel free to experiment. These hexagons come in ceramic, marble and granite.

3. Use them anywhere
Hexagons aren’t just for the bathroom and kitchen. They can create an interesting atmosphere in rooms where the shape is less commonly seen. Besides being a great choice for a splashback or a benchtop, they can be used on an entryway floor or even on its walls.

4. Splashback
The right splashback should be forgiving but still gorgeous. Gradient hexagons are up to the task: they’re easy to clean and maintain, hide water marks and, of course, look stunning.

7. Splash of colour
If you want a pop of colour rather than a big splash, consider working just a few coloured tiles into the mix. Hexagons are great for having a little fun with your design. A sprinkling of coloured tiles will make a kids’ bathroom come alive while keeping you on budget. Order some single hexagons in your kids’ favourite colours for a playful effect.

Use hexagons in a neutral space. You can add texture in a subtle way by contrasting the grout with the tile and creating a pattern that mimics the look of a textile.
