Border tiles can be a great way to break up the sameness caused by certain types of wallpaper, paint colors, or other wall tiles. These border tiles usually are uniquely colored or shaped and help draw your eye to a specific area. Border tiles for bathroom applications can turn an average-looking room into something much more grand and attractive.
