From Flooring to Walls: How to Choose the Right Tile for Your Project

When it’s time for new flooring or wall tiles, there are several types to choose from, depending on which room you are working on. It is essential to consider how different types of tile can impact your lifestyle, maintenance needs, and budget. 

From bathrooms to kitchens, which tile type is best for you

At Tile Superstore & more, we carry many types of tile perfect for multiple home applications, including floor tile, wall tile, and ledgestone. We’ve created this guide to help you choose the right tile for your next project. 

Floor Tile

Floor tiles are made from ceramic, porcelain, and stone. They are great options for different rooms in your home and can come in many styles and colors. 

Floor tiles can easily be arranged to create stunning patterns throughout your home, from classic black and white to custom designs.

Wall Tile

Wall tiles are similar to floor tiles but come in different shapes and colors to fit on a wall instead of a floor. They are a stylish and functional choice for various rooms. 

Wall tiles are a great alternative to paint or wallpaper, making your kitchen or bathroom easier to clean and more hygienic. Like floor tiles, wall tiles can also be arranged to create beautiful designs and patterns flowing from the floor.
