Black tile is having a moment — from floor to ceiling and every space in between. But as the little black dress of interior design, this style statement for your home is always in vogue — if you ask us at Riad Tile.
That's because black tile design is show-stopping and dramatic yet classic and so versatile. It's easily adaptable to any aesthetic — from traditional to modern and more.
Here are some stunning ways to think about injecting some LBD vibes into your space with this drama queen of interior design.
Raising the Bar
Neat or on the rocks? Shaken or stirred? No matter your order of choice, a black tile cocktail bar serves up all the best drinks with a seriously sophisticated Mad Men-meets-mod mood. In this wet bar design by @sho.and.co, our Black 2"x6" Zellige tile — installed in a traditional subway orientation — pairs beautifully with the midnight-navy cabinetry for a swanky effect.View this post on Instagram
Hip to be Square
A powder room — or any black bathroom, for that matter — immediately becomes a power player when it's 4"x4" Deep Black Gloss ceramic tile on the team. When used on the wall of @giannasanfilippo's small-space design, this glossy square tile makes a statement and proves that petite rooms can still wear black, too.View this post on Instagram
A small laundry room space isn't to be left out of the cool-kid mix, either. This design from @elpetersondesign uses our Black 4"x4" Zellige tile to elevate a mundane chore to a thing of beauty.View this post on Instagram
Take Your Coffee Black
A black coffee nook is caffeinated in all the right ways — especially in this kitchen transformation from @craven_haven. Our Black 4"x4" Zellige tile is the perfect backdrop to an incredible array of kitchen accessories and art — and that anytime cup of joe. Lay it in a dry stack with no grout lines for an even greater impact.View this post on Instagram
We're also craving this chic coffee bar featuring our Nero Marquina Black Marble Herringbone Mosaic tiles. The natural wood accents, white coffee cups, and greenery tie the look together, creating a cozy, inviting atmosphere that makes you want to curl up with a hot drink. The marble shows off its natural variations with changes in the light, but its jet-black hue doesn't dim from any angle.View this post on Instagram
Matte and Moody
Matte black tile has all the subtle yet strong attitude you could want. It's perfect for a minimalist yet moody vibe in any room of your home. Riad Tile's new Black Terracotta collection fits the bill, with each piece boasting the rustic character of a natural, handcrafted material. When it comes to black floor tiles, the terracotta black Star & Cross shape will instantly bring that "wow" factor. Or try out the terracotta Black Hexagon tile for a honeycomb effect in a bathroom.View this post on Instagram

Classic square and rectangle terracotta shapes likewise deliver enduring, timeless elegance — whether you're putting black tile in a bathroom or a kitchen backsplash.
