Unconventional uses for kitchen and bathroom tiles

1. Turn your spare tiles into a work of art

This very much falls under the category of funky, modern art. You know, the type that you find in modern bars carefully constructed to depict a classic image of some 80’s music sensation. These often cost quite a lot to buy so why not make your own? Simply get hold of some old kitchen tiles and, if you’re artistic enough paint your image onto them before separating them. If you’re not that arty, you can always cheat by printing a large picture from the Internet and aligning this on the tiles before cutting it up.

2. Don’t be such a square!

If you feel like making your living spaces, whether it is the kitchen or bathroom, a little more unique, why not opt for a different type of tile? This one is particularly unique yet surprisingly appropriate because it depicts frothy bubbles floating up from the sink area. Very cool!

3. Release your inner geek

If you’re passionate about something, why not let it run through your living space designs? Lots of people stop at pictures and paintings but other innovative individuals show their love for film, music and so forth through their choice of decor. Take a look at this snazzy filmstrip inspired design…

4. Make them stylish and functional…

This is great – colourful and vibrant yet entirely functional. Notice how each coloured tile has little shelves and hangers attached to them for storing toothbrushes, razors and other bathroom items? Of course, this is not to everybody’s taste but we love the idea behind it.

5. Decorate and give to a friends and family

We found a great CafePress store that sells framed tiles with jokes, pictures and popular phrases printed on them. This is a really cool idea and they make for great gifts for friends and family. As with the first idea we mentioned, you can probably make these yourself too, so get DIY’ing!
