The Silver Lining

By AlysEdwards | 5/17/2023

Silver is said to draw out the negative energy and replace it with the positive. Walking into a room should make you feel the same way; refreshed and renewed. Silver has all the characteristics of gray, but with more fun! Using a porcelain tile that mimics natural stone, like Terra Dolce's Grigio, is a low maintenance and durable way to achieve a high end look. On the other hand, if you are looking for a natural stone, pattern play with I'm Always Right Triangle to create visual interest. Brighten things up by using a crisp white like the gloss or matte finish available in Tongue in Chic's You Don't Snow Me or the White Lie from the Noise collection. The linear movement of the 12 x 36 wall tile can elongate a ceiling and positively open a space. To avoid a sterile look warm up your space with complementing textiles and textures like the Volpe tumbled or the wood look plank of the Basic B. Accenting with silver  hardware will pull together a sleek design. Polished finishes will give you a modern vibe, while matte finishes will lean more transitional. So what's the silver lining? By using these tips it will help you design a more sophisticated play on gray.

Looking Through the Sea Glass

By AlysEdwards | 5/17/2023

With vacations turning into staycations, homes are becoming a more important part of our everyday lives. When designing your in-home retreat consider pulling inspiration from your favorite sea side. Pairing a crisp white wall tile, like Noise, with a veined white stone, like Calacatta, allows for a bright clean space without the fear of looking sterile. The taupe and gold veins of Calacatta Oro bring in warm colors that help to balance out the starkness of the white. Opting for a wood grained cabinet not only ties back into the veining of the stone it also brings in sandy tones, maybe reminiscent of your favorite beach? Pull tones of sea glass with accent colors like the Oleastro wall tile from Abitare La Terra or the Honeycombs from Half Baked. Adding a patterned tile like the Iberian Aqua from the Crio collection or a dimensional tile like Teal the Timer Rings can also create visual interest! Are we there yet ?? Almost... round out your design with trinkets from your travels like sea glass beads. Lastly, don’t forget to light your favorite candle and sit back, relax, and drift away...
