Selecting Tiles for Your Fireplace
The right fireplace peel-and-stick tiles ensure that the new look complements your space. These factors can help you select the best one for your DIY tile fireplace makeover.
Tile Look
Peel-and-stick tiles come in a variety of looks and styles. The stone look tiles mimic real stones to give a natural and earthy feel. They are best suited for homes with traditional decor. If you prefer an industrial look, opt for peel-and-stick tiles with a brick look.
Marble look tiles are best for luxurious and elegant interiors. You can also give an artistic touch to the fireplace with the help of patterned tiles. You can choose from a wide range of mosaic patterns like chevron, circular, linear or mixed patterns.
Tile Surface
The tiles are available in different surface types like smooth and textured ones. Smooth surface tiles give a sleek look. They are preferred for homes with modern, minimalist or contemporary interior decor. Tiles with textured surfaces can add depth and character to the fireplace. However, you might have to clean and maintain them more frequently.
Buy anti-mold and anti-bacterial tiles to ensure a healthy home.
Tile Finish
Polished resin tiles are one of the best choices for a fireplace. They are resistant to heat and humidity, which ensures they last longer. Peel-and-stick tiles with a metallic finish are also heat resistant. They are available in different mosaic patterns, including squares and diamonds. For a unique look, you can consider using multi-finish tiles. The different textures add vibrancy to turn the fireplace into an eye-catching centerpiece.
Matte finish peel-and-stick tiles are best for a subtle look. They go well with both minimal and industrial interior decor. Glossy tiles make the surface appear shinier and brighter. If you have a premium space, using glossy tiles can make the area seem more spacious.
Refer to the instructions manual before sticking the tiles. Follow any specific steps mentioned in the manual for best results.
