How to Create a Honeycomb Inspired Tile Backsplash

If bees had a say in our interior design choices, the honeycomb tile backsplash would certainly be their top pick. This striking backsplash style is slowly winning over hearts and homes with its charming pattern and dynamic aesthetic.


Just as bees meticulously craft each honeycomb, this backsplash layout brings a similar craftsmanship and attention to detail into your kitchen or bathroom walls. It’s not just about the functional aspect of protecting your walls; it’s also a chance to inject vibrancy and a dash of visual intrigue into your space. 


Forget boring backsplashes! The jewel-toned mosaic on the backsplash adds a touch of emerald allure to this warm, woodsy kitchen. 


So, if you’re looking for a way to spruce up your space with something that’s both beautiful and brimming with character, honeycomb tiles might just be the perfect pick. Let’s take a look at how this enchanting pattern can make your home the place to ‘bee’. 


Why You Should Go For A Honeycomb Tile Backsplash

When it comes to choosing a backsplash for your kitchen or bathroom, there are countless options out there. But nothing quite sticks like the appeal of these geometric tiles. These hex motif delights come with a swoon-worthy list of advantages that merit a spot on your home improvement radar.

Unique Aesthetic Appeal

There’s no denying the visual allure of honeycomb tiles. Their distinctive hexagonal shape, inspired by the natural symmetry of beehives, injects both whimsy and elegance into any setting. Whether aiming for a backdrop that gently complements your decor or a bold statement piece, the versatility and timeless beauty of these tiles ensure your kitchen or bathroom will captivate at first glance. 


Flexibility in Design

For those who enjoy specializing their space down to the last detail, loose-mount tiles allow you to handpick and arrange each piece, offering the ultimate customizability. You can also mix and match colors or materials with loose-mount hexagon tiles for a design that’s distinctly yours. 


On the flip side, if you want uniformity and if simplifying installation is more your speed, mesh-mounted tiles are a breeze to work with. They maintain the cohesion and alignment of the pattern effortlessly, making the installation process smoother. 


Creates the Illusion of More Space

The unique tessellation effect of honeycomb tiles not only adds an element of depth and texture to your walls but cleverly enhances the perception of space. This optical illusion is especially beneficial in smaller kitchens and bathrooms, making them feel more open and spacious without the need for extensive renovations. 


Durability and Ease of Upkeep

Opting for this shape means investing in a solution that’s not only visually appealing but durable and low maintenance, too. Typically crafted from resilient materials like porcelain, ceramics, and glass, these tiles are equipped to handle the moist and varied conditions of your culinary and bathroom space. 


Additionally, the honeycomb layout smartly redistributes grout lines, blending them into the overall pattern rather than standing out. This feature not only enriches the visual experience but significantly eases cleaning efforts. Despite the many grout tiles, the hexagonal arrangements minimize the presence of large, dirt-prone grout lines, ensuring your backsplash remains pristine with less effort.

This pearly white installation weaves in a timeless, classy aura into the white space, allowing the area to feel both luxurious and airy.

Concrete Proof That Cement Can Be Stylish

Concrete is not just for sidewalks anymore; it’s taken the interior design world by storm, proving that it can indeed be the epitome of style - and our Montura Grey Cement Porcelain Tile is living proof.

It allows for a unique and captivating pattern, ensuring your space is anything but ordinary. 


With this tile, you’re not just selecting a backsplash; you’re embracing an interior trend that celebrates the beauty in the unfinished and the unrefined. 


Organic Borders

Industrial design has its charm, but too much metal and concrete can leave your space feeling more like a warehouse than a welcoming abode. The trick to softening those industrial edges are a little touch of warmth here and there.  And what better way to do that than with our Montura Concrete Porcelain Hexagon Tile


With its concrete center framed by wood-look borders, it brings an immediately noticeable contrast that’s both striking and soothing. The combination ensures your space retains that sought-after industrial vibes while infusing it with the texture and warmth often missing from more traditional industrial materials. 


Incorporating this tile into your home doesn’t just change how it looks; it changes how it feels. Spaces become places where industrial cool meets a welcoming atmosphere, where the room not only looks good but feels lived-in and loved. 


Charcoal Frames

Tiled backsplashes are about more than simply guarding your walls against spills and stains; they can be a clever way to highlight standout features in your kitchen or bathroom. 


To draw attention to a particular area, simply position hexagonal tiles in an open pattern right behind the piece you want to spotlight. It’s an effective strategy for creating a focal point, as shown in the bathroom vanity setup below where our Montura Charcoal Concrete Porcelain Tile frames the sleek, floating vanity and cabinetry. This approach captures the eye, making whatever feature you choose, a hard one to miss. 


For added visual impact, consider pairing the tile backdrop with some stylish cage lighting. And don’t limit yourself to the bathroom - this technique works wonders in the kitchen, too. Use it to draw attention to a grand statement hood or regal gas range. With the strategic use of these tiles, you can transform practical elements into standout features that anchor the room’s aesthetic. 


Sun-Kissed Terracotta

Looking for a rich and earthy addition to your decor? Our sun-kissed terracotta hexagon tiles might be just what you need. They’re a natural fit for coastal boho-inspired spaces, offering a grounded, rustic appeal. These tiles also bring a comfortable level of warmth to a room, thanks to their soft, sun-baked tones. 


Our sun-kissed terracotta hexagon tile works its magic indoors and out. See how it brings warmth and texture to this coastal boho outdoor space. 


Have fun with the arrangement - keep the classic hexagon layout, or get creative by mixing them with different tiles from our Montura Collection for a personalized, eclectic look. Each tile is loose-mounted, allowing you to install them one at a time, which gives you total control over the final look. 


Stretch It Out

If you’re in love with this pattern and can’t get enough of it (like we do!), there’s no reason to stop at just the kitchen area. Why not let this attractive pattern spread its wings across more walls in your space? 


This approach can weave a thread of continuity and style throughout the room. Take a cue from the bathroom space below where our Montura Wood Look Hexagon Tile doesn’t just end behind the sink but also wraps around into the shower area, bringing a unified and sophisticated look. 


This wood-look tile not only bestows such a modest bathroom with a significantly more polished and natural aesthetic but also brings practical benefits. Unlike traditional hardwood, our porcelain tiles offer a blend of style and functionality.


They mimic the intricate and cozy feel of wood while eliminating the worry of water damage or wear and tear. This makes them an ideal choice for areas prone to moisture and heavy use, like bathrooms and kitchens. These tiles are also tough as nails, resisting scratches, dents, and fading, so they’ll look gorgeous for years.
