Forget ceramic tile's stone-cold reputation. Designers are rediscovering this versatile, ancient material and transforming it into an array of bold, fresh looks. Luxurious metallics, faux fabric and animal prints, and dramatic, three-dimensional shapes are just some of the options now available. And glass and stone tiles haven't been left behind -- these categories also overflow with innovative designs. This expanded range of choices brings a newfound freedom for homeowners.

Tile can make a perfect headboard for a bedroom, a glamorous wall panel for the dining room or an eye-catching work of art in any space.
