Artful Impression
In most modern-decor settings, you can use a variety of patterned fabrics to create an exciting custom design.
In a kitchen or bath, you can achieve the same kind of interest with colorful
patterned tiles.
This bath uses beautiful large-scale stone tiles in a range of
hues for the floor and walk-in shower. A run of nine smaller decorative tiles
adds pattern and punch to the vanity area.
Free-form swaths of stone in the walk-in shower lend an artistic touch.
Polished black granite is cut in a sweeping curve to make an unusual vanity top.
While a traditional setting might
use tiles decorated with representational images, modern style tends toward the
organic flowing design that appears in tiles such as these.
