Terracotta Floor Tiles In Rustic Home Decor
patterns, shapes & sizes
Terracotta as a design trend has made something of a resurgence in recent years. One of the most popular ways that homeowners add a touch of terracotta to their homes is with terracotta floor tiles.
They are excellent ways to achieve a rustic home decor style in any house, thanks to their earthy and toasty burnt orange tones.
Let’s jump in.
Clay Tile Patterns
2-tile patterns
Throughout North America and Mexico, Saltillo tiles are the top choice for people that want durable yet affordable terracotta floor tiles. At Rustico Tile & Stone, we offer many different patterns of Saltillo tiles.
For example, you could create picket patterns: they are two-tile patterns that are a timeless classic for anyone looking to create a rustic home decor theme in their homes. In fact, the picket pattern is comprised of an 8×8-inch square and a 4×12 inch picket tile.
Also, another popular choice is the Octagon pattern. This terracotta floor is perfect to create an iconic-looking Mexican style floor when paired with colorful painted Talavera tiles.
