5 Traditional New England Design Elements to Implement into Your Home!

At Tiles Plus More, Massachusetts is a part of our story. New England runs in our blood, and we’re so proud to be from this amazing area!

One of the things that we love most about this area is classic New England design. New England interior design elements can help you create a home that is traditional, modern, and beautiful all in one.

Let’s look at a few of our favorite classic New England  design elements that you can consider adding to your home — no matter where you live!

Slate, marble, and limestone are common options for natural stone tile in New England as they reflect the natural landscape of the area. Not only that, but these are also just gorgeous options that are often found in New England interior design!

Natural stone tile also makes for great-looking walls in New England design as well. Just check out a few Tile Plus More projects that turned out to be beautiful by using New England design elements and natural stone:

Other natural elements aside from natural stone tile are common in New England design as well. Think about the big beautiful oak and maple trees in the yard, hydrangea bushes next to the front door, and houseplants galore. 

New England interior design also often uses natural building materials like, of course, natural stone, but also hardwood floors , seashell driveways, gardens, and more. 

Speaking of hardwood floors…

These are a staple in many New England homes. Some of the most common hardwood floors in New England design include:

Many of the oak trees that become oak hardwood floors are grown right in New England. Our area is famous for thick forests and beautiful oak trees, so it makes sense to use those for your flooring if you want to follow New England design!

Right alongside the fame we get for our beautiful forests, New England is also known for its connection to the sea. From the famous Boston Harbor to the coasts of Maine, there are boats, fish, anchors, and other nautical design elements abound. 

No need to go overboard on this one in order to get the same feeling & design. A few nautical stripes on some pillows, artwork of the sea, boats, docks, etc, seashell decor or driveways, or even just fresh & beachy vibes with paint & color are great options.

Check out these awesome natural stone tiles with a rope design; these would be perfect for any nautical themed room or home:

There’s nothing quite like coming inside after a blustery & cold New England day and curling up in front of the fireplace with a mug of steaming hot chocolate, coffee, tea, or whatever else might warm you up. 

The best part about installing a fireplace is not only will you get the look and feel of a traditional New England design, but you’ll also get to combine that with other New England interior design elements as well.

Think about the beautiful natural stone tiles you could use around your fireplace to accent it and provide a feeling of nature inside (remember those natural elements we mentioned earlier?).

Even an electric fireplace can provide the feeling and visual of a classic New England fireplace. Combined with some beautiful natural stone or other fireplace tiles , you’ll feel like you’re in the heart of Massachusetts or Vermont no matter where you are.
