Patterned Fireplace Tile

Patterned tile can transform a fireplace into a stunning showpiece. The hand-painted tile (Vitoria by Fireclay Tile) on this fireplace designed by @ginny_d_design adds just the right amount of pattern and rich color. The star design calls back to antique encaustic tiles for an old world look that will never go out of style.

Marble Lookalike Fireplace Tile

A solid marble fireplace is breathtaking, but you’ll pay a hefty price for it. Use this trick from designers at @hearthhomesinteriors for a more budget-friendly option. They created this fireplace with porcelain tiles to mimic the effect of marble!

The visual effect is similar, especially if you line up the vein details in the tile before installation. Porcelain tile is not only a lot cheaper but it’s easier to maintain.
