Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the history of ‘Arabesque’ tile?
A: The Arabic word arabesca, meaning “in the Arabic style,” is the origin of the word arabesque. These elegant, intertwining geometric shapes and floral patterns are inspired by Islamic art and decor. The style became popular during the Renaissance when European painters took a liking to Middle Eastern and North African artwork. Arabesque tiles are often referred to as "lantern tiles," due to their shape. They are a perfect addition to elegant settings in both old and contemporary spaces!
Q: Can I use arabesque tiles in a modern design?
A: Absolutely! While lantern tiles are often linked to vintage design, they can also shine in contemporary to modern design settings. The material you choose can really affect the vibe too—marble arabesque tiles keep a classic, timeless feel, while glass adds a more sleek, modern touch. Whether you're going for a tile kitchen backsplash or a shower wall design, arabesque mosaic tiles can easily blend into different styles. The accessories you choose to pair with your tiles play a significant role in shaping the overall design direction. For example, matte bathroom fixtures can enhance a sharply modern aesthetic when combined with lantern tiles, while polished metal accents can elevate their vintage charm.
Q: What other patterns pair well with arabesque tile?
A: Arabesque tiles tend to have heavily detailed and bold patterns, so it's a good idea to pair them with simpler designs to balance them out and allow their beauty to shine. You can pair the curvy design of arabesque tiles with softer patterns like subtle stripes or minimalist dots. These designs won’t compete with the intricate arabesque pattern but will complement its visual flow. To create a cohesive look, consider an arabesque mosaic tile on a backsplash and combine with square or rectangular floor tiles for a harmonious feel. Pairing glossy arabesque tiles with matte features can further highlight the intricate pattern while maintaining a balanced aesthetic.
