DESIGN IDEA: A PENNY ROUND TILE FOR YOUR FOYER!

October 11, 2011
  • Share

I like this idea…using a classic black penny round porcelain mosaic tile on a foyer floor. The contrast with the white walls and red door really work in this entry way. I assume an unglazed porcelain would work best on the floor…no slipping and sliding!  Like, like, like.

Remodelista – Black Unglazed Penny Round Mosaic Tile – $11.95 per square foot (above)

What do you think of this design idea? If you were tiling a foyer floor, what tiles would you use?

Happy Tuesday!

    LOVE IT – you always see white penny tile – but the black is best! Especially if you used a gray-tinted grout to conceal dirty floors from being at the front door- amazing!

    I think this looks amazing and would have jumped on this a year ago. Then we bought our house with a black tiled foyer. I’m sure the penny tile would be so much prettier than mine, but the black really shows the pet hair in our house. It’s not bad for regular dirt though. So, definitely a win as long as you don’t have medium to light colored pets.

    These are GORGEOUS! Retro, yet modern and chic all at the same time. Tile wouldn’t look right in the foyer of my style home, but I’d love to use something like this in my laundry room. I’m about to drop something heavy in there, you know “on accident,” because once the ugly builder grade tile is broken we’ll be forced to replace it with something WAY more interesting…

    I really love mosaic tile for small spaces, especially Ann Sacks. But these penny tiles may be more affordable (easier sell to my darling husband, who will be pissed off about the “accident”) and I could probably scatter some red tiles here and there for my pop of color.

    That looks quite nice. I just saw a similar treatment in the last issue of House & Home. I personally love really huge tiles. Emser has a line called Tex-Tile which looks like linen and comes four neutral tones, two warm, two cool, in light and dark shades. I’d install those in the 12×24 inch size in a herringbone pattern. That’d be cool!

    I’m not really a fan of polkadots but they seem to go well in the foyer because they look relatively small on the floor. I think rugged bricks would also look good here 🙂

    What a fun idea! I love this hallway, so classic yet the round tile gives it just enough punch to give it a totally modern look. And the door? LOVE!

    If memory serves me correctly, this foyer belongs to a Canadian designer and magazine editor and was published in Canadian House and Home. Loved it then, love it now.

    I don’t love it. I like penny tile, but I often see it installed badly. (It really shows the join lines if not done well.)Plus, in high-traffic areas, tiles seem to get dug out by high heels. Love the red door, however.

    I have found that using cheep black swimming pool mosaic size tiles works well for this kind of effect,They are non-slip cheep and clean easily.

Martha's Vineyard house tour part 1. Here is a tou Martha's Vineyard house tour part 1. Here is a tour of the rental house we had in Edgartown on MV this summer. A new build about 5 minutes from the center of town. 3500 square feet, 4 bedrooms, 4 baths and a pool. House bad that beach house or coastal style decor. We were the first to rent it. What do you think? Would you rent thjs? Do you want to see the bedrooms?
It was our 2nd summer on the Vineyard. Next year, we are renting for the month. Same house. 💃🏾 I would love a bit bigger so more people could come but finding good rentals is hard on the Vineyard. Feel very lucky to have spent a magical few weeks in this spot.
