Although many types of glass tile are very costly, using these tiles in small amounts is an affordable way to add personality and punch to an interior space. Despite the high cost of some glass tiles, there is quite a range of prices represented at most tile shops. With so many colors, finishes, sizes, shapes and patterns available, homeowners can find just the style to fit their home décor.
Glass Tiles in the Kitchen
The ideal place to use glass tiles in the home is on the kitchen backsplash. The kitchen is the one place every guest sees, and the place where most homeowners spend most of their time. Adding a decorative accent here gives them the most bang for their design buck.
Because of the small area of most kitchen backsplashes, glass tile can be used on the entire space for the most visual impact. Rectangular tiles have been popular recently, and come in sizes ranging from 1”x2” to 3”x6” and larger. The tiles can be installed in a staggered (brick) joint for a more traditional look, or in a standard joint for a contemporary flair.
