Accent and Feature Tile Walls

Accent and feature tile walls that turn a plain wall into a focal point with texture, pattern or color in living rooms, bedrooms, entries and bathrooms.

A single tiled wall can transform a room. It adds texture, color and a sense of craft that paint cannot match. Homeowners in Nashville use feature walls behind vanities, in entries, around fireplaces, behind beds and in dining rooms. Because there is only one wall, you can try a bolder tile than you might use on a whole room.

We help you choose a tile with the right scale for the wall: large tile for a modern feel, small mosaic for a jewel-like finish or textured three-dimensional tile for shadow and depth. Lighting matters, since side lighting brings out texture, so we think about where lights are placed. We plan the wall layout so the pattern is centered and edges look finished, and we choose trim or a tile edge for the borders. Walls outside wet areas need the right backing and adhesive, and we explain what is needed for your wall. Choose the wall in a room that people see first, and consider the lighting before the tile. A picture with lights on and off at different times helps. Keep the rest of the room simple so the feature wall can shine, and bring paint chips to check how the tile pairs with them.

How it works

Our process, start to finish.

  1. 01

    Call and describe the job

    You tell us the rooms, the tile you like and your timing, and we ask about the floors, walls and any water issues.

  2. 02

    Measure and plan

    We check flatness, moisture and layout from photos or a visit and talk through materials, pattern and trim.

  3. 03

    Review the estimate

    You get a plain written scope with prep, waterproofing, materials, schedule and cure times before anything is ordered.

  4. 04

    We prepare the surfaces

    Old tile comes out, floors are repaired and leveled, backer board and membranes go in and showers are waterproofed and tested.

  5. 05

    We set the tile

    Tile is set with the right mortar, checked for flatness and alignment and cut carefully at the edges.

  6. 06

    Grout, seal and walk through

    We grout, seal and caulk, clean up and walk the finished job with you, leaving written care tips and extra tile.

Questions

Feature Tile Walls FAQ

Can I tile a bedroom or living room wall?

Yes. Tile works anywhere with a flat, sound wall and the right adhesive.

Do I need special lighting?

Side lighting brings out texture, and we plan it with you if you want it.

What tile makes a good accent?

Handmade-look, geometric, mosaic and three-dimensional tiles are popular.

How do I finish the edges?

With trim, a bullnose or a return where the tile wraps the corner.

Will it be hard to clean?

Smooth tile wipes clean, and heavily textured tile may need a soft brush.
