Feeling colour-shy? Not here.
Shannon, Design Consultant at Tile Town Edmonton West, is sharing five of her favourite flatlays to help you mix, match and add personality to your next project—without the pressure.
Think of them as vision boards for your reno dreams: quick to test, fun to play with and perfect for finding your tile style before committing. Whether you’re craving spa-day serenity or bold backsplash drama, these combos are here to kick-start your DIY glow-up.
Mood Board 1: Beachy Vacation Vibes
The Look: Soft, breezy and sun-kissed.
“Feel like you’re on vacation every day with this combo,” says Shannon. Navona Soft Candido sets the scene with sandy, neutral tones, while Raku Sea brings a splash of ocean blue.
Pro Tip: Pair it with sand-coloured grout for that effortlessly sunlit finish.
Mood Board 2: Spa Days
The Look: Calm, clean and totally zen.
“These soft, soothing tones bring instant calm,” says Shannon. Use Carrara Light Polished on the walls and Quebec Arctic White Hex on the floor—both with Frost grout—for a serene, spa-like feel.
Bonus: Add Boulevard Spray (right) in a vertical waterfall layout, grouted with Rain for a modern, high-end finish.
Mood Board 3: Moody Maximalism
The Look: Bold, saturated and stylish.
“Love a bold, monochromatic moment? This one’s for you,” says Shannon. Go for Lume Green on the walls with Cavern Moss grout to anchor the space.
Bonus: Add a niche in Tribeca Seaglass Mint (above) with Castle Wall grout for a crisp, minty contrast.
Mood Board 4: Gold Shimmer
The Look: Elegant with a side of glow.
“Find your pot of gold—or at least a few streaks of it—with Calacatta Imperiale Matte,” Shannon suggests. Its soft golden veining pairs beautifully with Lume Green and Harvest grout in the niche.
Bonus: Use Frost grout on the main tile to keep things fresh and sophisticated.
Mood Board 5: Culinary Cool
The Look: Moody, modern and effortlessly cool.
“In this customer’s kitchen, Tribeca Blue Note brings bold, moody vibes to the backsplash, perfectly balanced with Night Sky grout,” says Shannon.
It’s a quietly confident colour statement—because cool doesn’t have to try that hard.
