Eye-catchy and unique tiles are all the rage right now, you can see Eat-inspired arabesque, mermaid-inspired fish scale and many other tiles around. Hex tiles are among the trendiest and edgiest right now, they can be seen in bathrooms, kitchens and even entryways, they come in lots of colors and the geometric shape they feature is absolutely timeless. If you still don’t have such tiles in your home – it’s high time to get them! The easiest way to go is to clad your kitchen backsplash with them – it’s not a large surface, so it won’t take too much effort and won’t break the bank. But first let’s take a look at
Hexagon Tiles Pros
Not only do they look sensational and effectively elevate your interior design, despite their delicate appearance, as porcelain tiles, they are also very durable and hard-wearing. The six-edge shapes offer renovators and builders plenty of options as they come in a wide range of colors, finishes, materials and sizes. Additionally, hexagonal tiles are suitable for any style you may have in mind, no matter how bold or subtle.
Small white or cream hexagon tiles combined with light grout lines look classic, delicate and feminine, while the same tiles against darker grouting will help you achieve a vintage look. If you are after an ultra-modern style, select dark, oversized hexagon tiles and awe your guests with an unexpected, classy look that can do wonders in a bachelor pad.

Hexagon Tiles Cons
The big con of hex tiles is the fact that they are quite challenging to install, so they are not the best option for inexperienced DIYers. It is still doable, of course, but make sure you have plenty of time, patience and attention to detail. Now, even if you do hire a professional, you can still expect the tiling process to be more time-consuming than rectangular or square tiles.
Whether you choose to DIY or hire a tiler, make sure you talk to an expert to find out the exact quantities you will need. Hex tiles can also be a bit pricier, and if you need professional help, you should take those additional costs into consideration as well. Tiles, in general, are, however, one of the most cost-effective options, as they are extremely durable and don’t require much maintenance.

Small Scale Hex Tiles
If we take smaller scale hex tiles, the most popular ones are penny tiles that bring geometry and texture but not too much impact. Usual small scale hex tiles are also popular, use them with some contrasting grout to make them stand out a lot. This is a cool geometric alternative to penny tiles on the backsplash, and if you want you can even build up a pattern or even create some words of them.
