Moss Building & Design Blog: Trending: Large Format Tile

by  Jeannine Miller

If you are looking for something different that is still within your home’s overall design scheme, consider large format tile.  I am really into the large formatting, particularly what can be done with porcelain.  Say you want the look of hardwood for your floors, but need the durability of tile -- the photo above shows your answer.  These porcelain tiles can be found in various wood tones and sizes to meet your needs.

Porcelain slab is huge in Italy and Spain and now becoming very popular in the US.  It’s a great choice for homeowners wanting the look of marble without the price and maintenance associated with marble.  Porcelain slab comes in many colors and patterns and is perfect for kitchen countertops and backsplashes as well as bath countertops, floors and showers.  It is heat and scratch-resistant like granite and non-porous like quartz thereby alleviating homeowners’ concerns about damaging their countertops.  Porcelain can even be used outdoors because it will stand up to the elements without deterioration. 

Large format tiles also come in 3-D.  Instead of just changing the tile pattern or paint color, how about these choices for taking your kitchen backsplash or accent wall from flat to WOW?

Whether you are doing a full-scale remodel or just need a little update, using large format tiles will really update your look.  I’d love to see your photos if you give it a try!
