These spaces range from classic to modern and will keep your inspirational meter on overdrive. Read on, and be sure to bookmark this page for later!
A Shimmery Shower Goes From Light & Airy To Darkened Beauty
Okay, okay. We admit it. When it comes to a tile design, especially a shower wall tile design, we love some depth. There's just so much to appreciate about a space that's visually interesting and somewhat serious. So, black tiles will always have an appeal for us.
That's why we had to add this makeover to the list. The home's guest bathroom went from a light gray glass herringbone tile to our black glass herringbone tile.
All they need now is a few plants, accent decor, and they're on their way to a supremely divine styled space. These shower floor tile ideas can also help you complete your bathroom makeover and tie the whole space together.
Going From Straight and Narrow to Patterned Fun
Don't get us wrong, stacked silver mosaic tile backsplashes are classics for a reason. They have a surface with a textured finish that adds visual definition and character. Yet, as this before and after tile makeover proves, sometimes a little geo chic movement makes the difference.
Our white silver chevron mosaic tile backsplash brings an elegant and eye-catching touch to the kitchen. Its chevron pattern adds visual interest and creates a beautiful focal point, giving this otherwise traditional country-style kitchen a fresh and stylish look.
Blue Jean Baby Transforms to Marble Mania
There's nothing wrong with a little blue, but we have to admit, the design pales in comparison to the upgraded space. The use of our diamond marble mosaic backsplash tile and earthy decorative elements transforms the bathroom into a stylish retreat, inspired by these small bathroom design ideas. Definitely an at-home-spa-approved feeling!
This Transformation Is Hex-Citing!
Subway tiles are always a treat. After all, they are the staples of the interior design world. That said, sometimes a homeowner just wants to have fun. When that happens, we're never going to protest moving away from the standard and into something a bit more…fashionable and edgy.
The backsplash tile refresh of our dreams. This space comes to life with the replacement of the subway tiles with the gray hexagon glass mosaic tile. It is uplifting, shimmery, and downright captivating to stare at. A really well-done renovation that will last a lifetime.
A Shell For A More Stylish Shell, Anyone?
We're sure mermaids would agree with us on this one; not all shells are created the same. They are unique and can tell individual stories. Same goes for shell tiles in your home. Every shell can craft an interior that stands out, according to your personal preferences. Like a more creamy tone? Use a mother of pearl tile.
This before and after tile makeover takes the crown for proving this point correct. The kitchen backsplash goes from pretty classic to pretty ocean chic with our beige brown and white mother of pearl herringbone tile.

Privy to Patterned Powder Room Walls
We are definitely torn between this before and after, but we have to hand it to the designer; moving from glossy glass hexagon mosaic tiles in this powder room design to interlocking double weave mosaic marble tiles was a win.
Not only that, the way that they incorporated a whole new design style around the chosen tile deserves a round of applause.
Penny Tiles to Eye-Catching Herringbones
Marble has its place, sure. But, when your aim is to have a transitional kitchen, marble may not make for the longest lasting option to keep up with design refreshes in the future. That's why turning away from the classic carrara penny tiles in this home was a smart idea.
The result is a herringbone tile backsplash that adds depth, a beautiful aesthetic, and a transformative look that can ebb and flow with any changes down the line.
A Floral Refresh
Just like in nature, sometimes floral tiles need to be swapped out seasonally. In the case of this bathroom, that proved the right move. Moving from a white and gray floral wonderland to a geometric wooden marble floral backsplash, the design stuns. The homeowner still gets all the beauty of a floral haven while enjoying a fresh bouquet!
Keep your tiles fresh, some post-tile refresh tips:
Clean the tiles regularly.
Cleaning tiles according to their material is key to longevity. Regular cleaning and proper maintenance can help maintain the tile's abrasion resistance and protect its surface from everyday wear. You should make sure that your upkeep is regular to ensure that they last as long as they can. After all, you're investing in a makeover and you want it to stay, don't you? Whether you love cleaning or not, you should find the time.
Regrout them as need be.
This is especially true in the bathroom or kitchen. Backsplash tiles and the grout joints between them can get stained easily. Why? Splashes from sauce or sprays from shampoo. To make sure that things stay as nice as they were on day one, keep the appeal and regrout as need be.
Replace tiles on occasion.
If a tile becomes worn out, you don't have to trash the whole tile design. No! You can replace individual tiles to keep the backsplash tile makeover or shower accent tile wall looking fresh as can be. Trust us, you went through time and money, don't let a few years of wear and tear make you have to repeat it all again!
Final Thoughts: Get Started on Your Apollo Tile Makeover
When it comes to home renovations or making updates to your kitchen or bathroom, there's no one right way to do it. Every homeowner has their own unique taste and style preferences, and that's what makes the world of home design so exciting.
From classic tiles to daring patterns and colors, there's no shortage of options to choose from. The beauty of renovating your home or refreshing a tile backsplash is that you have the power to completely transform the look and feel of your living space. You just need to get creative and make your space your own.
