Pattern that Blends In
Hexagonal tiles need not be always plain and simple. Patchwork hexagonal tiles might be a touch hard to find and also a bit more expensive than their regular counterparts, but they are well worth the extra cash you splurge.

These hexagonal tiles with pattern are perfect for modern eclectic, shabby chic and industrial kitchens.
