  • Innovative design for bar counters: ceramic wall tiles for unique style

When it comes to revamping the design of a bar counter, the choice of cladding plays a crucial role in determining the aesthetics and functionality of the space. Ceramic wall tiles offer a wide range of creative solutions, allowing a simple bar counter to be transformed into an eye-catching and durable design element.

Ceramic is an ideal choice for bar counters because of its unique characteristics: it is durable, easy to clean, and available in a myriad of colors, shapes, and textures. This makes ceramic wainscoting perfect for creating a unique, custom look that reflects the bar’s character and attracts customers.

Here are some ideas made with Tonalite materials.

Black and white elegance: timeless design choices

Black and white are classic combinations that never go out of style. Using ceramic tiles in these colors for countertops creates an elegant and sophisticated look. White tiles can provide brightness and a sense of space, while black tiles add a touch of luxury and depth. Together, they can be used to create checkerboard, stripe or geometric patterns that enhance the timeless elegance of the design.

Silk Color Slate Collection for Ciberia Casablanca

Black from the Arrow collection was chosen for the Wereldrestaurant Samen.

The Silk collection highlights the counter area of Cervia’s Officine del Sale venue in a way that is harmonious with the industrial mood.

Designer green: how to use green tiles for a modern look

Green is a color that evokes nature and freshness, making it perfect for creating a relaxing and welcoming atmosphere. Green ceramic tiles can be used in different shades, from mint green to dark green, to add a contemporary design touch to the counter. This color can be combined with wood or metal elements for a harmonious and natural look.

For Covent Garden , 7.5×15 tile from the Kraklé collection was chosen in the color Bottiglia.

The Bottiglia color was also chosen to enhance the Sukade Restaurant.

For the Duddle restaurant in London, the Kraklé collection was chosen in the color Greenback.

La collezione Joyful è stata scelta per un progetto di De Vries tegels en sanitair. 

Hexagon games: dynamic patterns for countertop wall tiles

Hexagon tiles are a great choice for those who want a unique and modern design. Hexagon games can create dynamic and interesting patterns that catch the eye and add movement. These tiles can be laid in a variety of ways, combining different colors and textures to achieve unique visual effects.

Esamarine hexagons in the Petroleum color play with reds for a contemporary and striking style.

The hexagons in the Exabright collection in the Exadec decor can play with different patterns and break out of the surfaces defined by the countertop to blend with the floor and wall covering.

The Examatt collection with its hexagons is the protagonist of the Chapò project.

“Concrete materials, iron and wood, accompanied by marble and cement, declined in a chic version. The concrete is interrupted by inlays of hexagonal tiles, the Examatt chosen in shades of gray that stand out on the wall and floor, creating original inlays and representing the most characterizing and identifying motif of the interior associated with the brand,” explains architect Giulia Brutto.

Metallic effect and reflections: elegant design ideas

Ceramic tiles with a metallic effect are ideal for those seeking a bold, contemporary design. These tiles reflect light in a unique way, creating reflections that add depth and shine. The metallic effect can be used in small doses for elegant accents or on large surfaces for a bolder look.

For a striking countertop with a slightly retro feel, you can choose the metallic finish from the Metal collection.

The burnt color of the Stek collection also plays with the surface reflections and gives a unique character to the space, placing the focus of the eye right on the countertop.

Blues and contrasts: ceramic tiles for a calm and inviting look

Light blues are colors that bring tranquility and freshness, perfect for a relaxing environment. Using ceramic tiles in shades of blue can create a serene and inviting atmosphere. To add a touch of originality, you can play with color contrasts, combining light blue with complementary shades such as white or gray, or with natural or contrasting materials that create unique and eye-catching designs.

Here are some realizations with the Joyful and Kraklè collections.

Tonalite collections offer a wide range of countertop tiling options, from colored tiles to specialty sizes, perfect for every design need.
