Tile Layouts You Haven't Thought Of

We've all seen the subway tile... countless brick-lays, straight lays all day long. 
These have a time and place... FOR SURE. But want to step it up? Change the game?

Here are 4 new thoughts to consider:

Fish Scales - a small, yet different shape. It mixes the lines of clean and curvy. And turns eyes all day long.

 Look DOWN - Think hexagons instead of squares. This changes up the everyday norm and gives you something happy to walk on.

Stripes - You don't have to worry about vertical or horizontal stripes forming your figure like in fashion. Stripes on the floor look great EITHER way.

Large scale - Don't want to see the grout lines, or want to make it appear as one continuous space? Go big or go home.
Try something NEW!

Make your bathroom wall go WILD.

The latest and greatest trend in a small OR large bathroom is to tile-play. 

What does that mean? Get crazy with your tile. Don't play it safe. Pick something that looks insane in the showroom, but will wake you up in the morning with a bang!

AND Its our little secret -- This can give your bathroom the look of LUXURY you are looking for, without much upkeep. Tile is easy to clean, and will take up a large space... thus eliminating the need for art.

GEOMETRIC PATTERNS:
The larger the pattern, the bigger impact it has. 



REPETITION: The same larger pattern on repeat creates rhythm and sanity for a busy yet powerful wall.


ABSTRACT: The various tile work that is actually artwork to the room gives the room a "cleanable" way to decorate 


COLOR: Don't bring in just pattern, but in a fun and whimsical room... pop the color!


SMALL PATTERN: And yes sometimes a smaller pattern can be just the ticket for the space. A more form fitted pattern helps to find a reason in chaos.

Turn those bathrooms into something NEW!

The 411 on Grout Colors

It's that small detail that usually gets forgotten until the last minute... grout color.

You might spend hours selecting and sourcing the perfect tile ... but the detail that is grout can make or break even the most perfect tile!

So what's your choice. We are here to tell you the in's and out's.

White on white. 
This gives a small room a larger appearance. It gives a streamlined, clean and slab look.

Gray on white.
A soft approach to revealing the shape of a white tile.
link

Or even a particular lay of tile. Brick lay can come to life with a contrasting grout color
link

Black on white. 
For a REAL pop ... go for the stark contrast of black grout to show off that unique herringbone or brick lay
link

link

Black TILE - 
Reverse the rules from above --
Black on black for the streamlined effect
link

Look down! Black on WHITE! White grout makes these hexagons REALLY stand out.
link

Gray on COLORED tile. 
A soft, clean approach to deciding what will contrast with the color. Instead of trying to figure out what hue matches what hue, go for gray to match it all!
link

COLORED grout.
Feeling bright?!?! Be Bold!

Pick it right and you'll have the perfect combo of tile and grout!

Powder Bath Floor Play

We love changing up the ordinary to the unexpected in spaces you might not expect.

A powder bath is a space that is easily overlooked. Small, ordinary, and a place people view as an area to "save". 
BUT why make it less than satisfactory when it could turn it into something incredible?!

What do we do to achieve that?

LOOK DOWN. The floor.
There is so much you can do with a simple tile pattern. Whether it is creating a visual effect....
Or turning a stone on different angles....
A floor can set the tone by a milestone. Here we used a simple small mosaic to echo a wallpaper used throughout the walls!

Now don't overlook the ordinary and always look to the floor for inspiration!
