Find Your Balance

Linear shapes like this stacked porcelain mosaic highlight curved architecture and unexpected accents, even unique wallpaper. If you’re hesitant to go bold, choose timeless materials for more permanent features like the shower and opt for pops of playful pattern in other areas of the bathroom and beyond.

Customize Classics

Checkerboard patterns bring old-school charm into new spaces. The classic tile installation pattern gets a twist with vibrant colors. This is customization at its finest. Prefer a more subtle approach? Pair tone-on-tone tiles for less contrast.
