As interesting new tile collections are released — take, for example, Heath Ceramics’ collaboration with Dwell — and we have more online resources and design inspiration at our fingertips, it's easier than ever to get creative with tile designs. Whether it’s placing different tile sizes on a single wallscape, using metallic tiles in place of a mirror, or creating patterns and images with different colors for a dash of visual interest, one thing’s for sure: these days, when it comes to tile, you make your own rules.

I really like these, but I'd be concerned it would look old fast.
These are so trendy they already look dated.
Please tell me where I can find the colorful floor tiles from the last photo! Absolutely LOVE the colors and design.
I like the multi-colored bathroom floor, but the rest would drive me nuts. Either too busy in a room that too much time is spent in or, as above, too trendy.

I like the colorful floor tile pattern although I wouldn't put in my house I believe it would make a nice commercial bathroom floor such as a bar and so.
