Whether installed from floor to ceiling or just used as decorative accent, tile was and is a staple in the kitchens, bathrooms, and even living rooms of midcentury modern homes. Is your dream a robin's egg blue bathroom with a retro feel? How about a touch of terrazzo in your dining room? We've got dreamy ideas to bring some stylish, minimal, and ultra-cool midcentury tile touches into your space that will stand the test of time.

Some key characteristics were things like open floor plans, neutral colors (like greys), but also earth tones like orange and green. The tile of this era is where a lot of the color was included in a home. But shapes like geometric, fan, beveled, and large-format looks are also a surefire way to identify the look. As minimal and sleek these homes were, they were also all about using wood and natural materials, so the tiles of that time reflected this in their organic shapes, glazes, and artisan looks.

Let's get inspired!
