Create Victorian magic by remodeling home and kitchen settings

Inspired living based on Victorian perspectives is very possible! Install decorative tiles on the ceiling and let the walls be covered. High ceilings and metal installations would not really be necessary. Use metal tile to brighten walls like bathroom and kitchen backsplash, living room and dining room.

As early as the Civil War, square pressed metal tiles became fashionable. Instead of heavy plaster, these strong and light fire retardant tiles were cheaper. They remained popular in geometric shapes for many decades until the Great Depression, when plain white drywall ceilings became widespread.

Pressed pewter is making a comeback in old Victorian residences for its style and presence. The lofts look attractive with metal shingles and exposed brick along with wood. However, we recommend that tiles are not used on the ceiling.

If you want the vintage look in your home, read on for some metallic tile ideas to spice up your surroundings.

Get down to business in the kitchen

Install Castle Metals to get the look of antique copper. Build a fancy sink or stove backsplash in the Victorian style. For a non-traditional look, opt for Metal Signatures paired with smooth mosaic tiles on the backsplash. Copy the look of the 1930s with the Metallica series for an Art Deco backsplash.

Village Bend in Olive 6 x 6, 4-1/4 x 4-1/4 with 1 x 8 Torello
Antique Iron Metal Signature Trellis Deco 4-1/4 x 4-1/4
Chateau Ogee Liner 1-1/2 x 12 and Trellis Liner 3 x 12

Why not mimic the look of a tin ceiling and install it on the ground? Study some old paintings and place various motifs in the center of the floor with a border of plain tiles. It could be the reverse arrangement on the kitchen counter.

It’s time to renovate the dining room.

While some people want white dining rooms, Victorian-style metal tiles will make it cozy but dark. Coordinate colors aesthetically, while exotic rugs and dark wood colors would be great. Embossed metal tiles will add decorative touches such as wainscoting on the lower wall. Lighting like vintage chandeliers would work well in a gray color scheme.

A bathroom to appreciate

Bring a serious note with metal tile framing the shower space and shower backsplash. Other options include artistic stripes of pewter and bronze tiles running horizontally, and a raised tile border enclosing a center of plain tiles.

Revive the wet bar scene

Perhaps a brushed stainless steel hexagonal mosaic backsplash would work well. Brushed stainless steel would contrast well with light wood cabinets, white walls, and beige carpeting. The wet bar backsplashes would also benefit from Metal Signatures Aged Iron Tumbled Stone, using the same tile on the floor. Pair it with the white cabinets, stainless steel appliances, refrigerator, and bar stools.

Metal tiles never went out of style, dating back to the Victorian era. Enjoy everlasting quality for decades to come.
