Tile Throws Archways a Curve

November 12, 2018Tile Standard

The graceful curve of an archway is among the most gratifying architectural elements you can add to a house — and when you deck it with tile, its own beauty comes to life. Tile adds a clean edge and a refined top note that may create a space seem perfectly polished.

Although they are a mainstay of Victorian style, tiled arches work just as well at a cozy cabin or modern pied-à-terre. Listed below are eight identifying methods to inspire you.

Cobalt tiles define the numerous arches in the bathroom. Not only can they improve the architecture of the room, but they also enliven the neutral palette with a layer of intense color. The tile”rug” on the ground brings the blue to the space.

Lined in bright aqua-green tiles, that this bathtub niche feels jewellike. Tiling the entire arch, instead of just the edge, emphasizes the architecture and brings attention to the slick curves that are replicated in the window.

Intricately painted tilework and wrought-iron accents give a Mediterranean flavor to this bath. The colours of the tile pick up the color of the fountain found through the window. Appreciate that attention to detail!

Repetition amplifies the silent effect of the archway tile in this area — a detail that’s echoed attractively by the progression of hanging pendants.

Tile doesn’t need to be splashy to put an arch. Light bounces off the barely-there subway tile framing this bathtub, creating an ethereal glow.

Think that it’s tile? Look closer. Painted trompe l’oeil detailing simulates ceramic in this slender archway. You could also achieve a similar look with stencils or even stickers.

This arch wears a delicate pattern that adds a pleasing layer of visual feel, its full beauty revealed from the medial side.

The sinuous curves of the arched shower entrance sense subtly Moorish — a feeling that’s improved by the exotic atmosphere of the shower and flooring tiles. The designer could merely have painted the arch exactly the exact same blue as the shower’s ceiling, but the tile gives it a crisp, elegant existence.
