Earthy Appeal

By AlysEdwards | 5/17/2023

Natural stone and earth tones top the list for interior designers and home renovators alike. They provide a timeless backdrop that never goes out of style. When choosing the right stone consider tile size. Larger field tiles like Suave Due’s 16” x 16” Pantera can help open a smaller space, while using a 4” x 16” field tile can make a larger space feel cozy. Features are also important to consider, do you prefer decorative tile like Crio’s Antique Pewter or geometric tiles like Origami’s Nero and Half Baked’s Whisk Me Away? Interested in something with more attention to detail? The brush strokes in Tongue In Chic’s Playing It Coal makes it one of a kind. If you’re looking for a more lived in look then the tumbled finish of Suave Due’s Pecora Nera is the perfect choice. Create an earthy appeal with our building blocks.

Gray is a versatile color but with infinite shades to choose from, it can be difficult to find the right hue. Not all grays are alike. For example, there are warm grays and cool grays as well as soft tones and deep tones. Eiffel for You brings forth the calmness of blue, while Britney Goes Cray Cray for Grey brings forth the warmth of a fresh tan. The blue-grey taupe veining in Calacatta Oro adds a soft touch to the bold, stark white which can serve as the perfect foundation.

Dark Interiors

By AlysEdwards | 5/17/2023

Dark interiors never compete for attention. Dramatic interiors tend to stick to monochromatic or dual tone color schemes like the ones seen in our Antique Pewter. Incorporating different textures like Pantera in the Canapa finish can add depth and interest.  Fun shapes like the Blendables’ triangles or mosaics like Grigio in the Herringbone pattern allow the architectural elements of your design take the spotlight. Add contrast by including a bright white like You Don’t Snow Me to your design. Pairing your design with sleek accessories like knobs and pulls create a modern look.
