decorative tile

Pretty wall square

Decorative tile is tile designed primarily for visual appeal rather than purely functional purposes.

These tiles feature patterns, colors, textures, or artistic designs and appear on walls, floors, backsplashes, and facades: The kitchen featured hand-painted decorative tiles from Mexico.

The term distinguishes ornamental pieces from plain utilitarian tile.
