Most Expensive Bathroom Tile is Replica of Famous Painting

Filed under: Decor

A tile company in Exeter has taken on an especially artistic and intricate endeavor to create what has turned out to be one of the world's most expensive bathroom tiles: a 2' x 2' replica of Gustav Klimt's 'The Kiss.' Each tile measures 2' x 2' and is a combination of beautiful ceramic colors and precious metal accents of 24 carat gold and platinum, all of which are put together through a painstaking process that started with three years of planning and ends after 17 separate firings in the kiln. The limited edition tiles are available through Original Style for £400 each.

Art Mosaic Glass Tile Rugs

When it comes to home decor, showing off your expensive taste is best done without trying too hard (unless you're Donald Trump) but instead investing in a few special pieces. If your taste leans towards the slightly flashy and totally unique, then check out the glass tile rugs over at SICIS. Available in a variety of designs, some (like the one pictured above) shine like flooring made of gold. They're all very artistic and incredibly beautiful, and I think they're especially suited to entryways and bathrooms (since they aren't especially cozy).

GelPro Comfort Mats for Kitchen and Bath

by Lisa Palladino (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor

In feeding my newfound addiction to home makeovers, I recently came across GelPro mats. I immediately wanted one -- my kitchen and bathroom both have cold stone floors, which are nice to look at but hard on the feet and back.

The company promotes the mats this way: "world's only gel-filled anti-fatigue floor mat relieves pain and fatigue caused from standing on hard flooring. Great for everyone, perfect for those with back pain, foot pain, or arthritis." I just like they way they look as compared to a cloth rug (especially in a newly-remodeled kitchen with granite and stainless steel), which slides around and doesn't offer any support.

The mats, which are designed and assembled in the USA, come in a variety of colors, fabrics, and styles. Try out the ones you like in the site's interactive kitchen. They even got an endorsement from our friends at Slashfood, which also features an interview with the company founder. Prices range from $99.95 - $299.95.

Remodeling? Consider $1,000,000 Diamond Floor Tiles

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor

We've all heard stories when we were kids about far away kings and queens that were so rich they never went anywhere without having rose petals (or some other lavish item) sprinkled beneath their feet as they walked. But as much fun as it is to imagine living like that it's not something that really realistic, is it?

Pietra Firma thinks it is, and for the perfectly realistic (*cough*) price of just $1,000,000 per square meter they offer floor tiles not made of roses but instead each featuring over 1000 genuine diamonds, along with thousands of insets of precious materials like mother of pearl, abalone, and black onyx.

So ... they are beautiful. I wonder how many square meters they've sold and to who?

Botanical Wall Tiles

Filed under: Decor, Art

Ceramic wall tiles by Heather Knight. I like them because they're bright pure white, and because I love three- dimensional art hanging up on the wall. Inspired by nature, Heather Knight creates each delicate design by hand and works pretty much exclusively in porcelain. These tiles are porcelain and are modeled after different plants like turf, hydrangea, and noni (top row) and magnolia, durian, and lichen (bottom row). I'm not crazy about them displayed in a grid pattern like this but I think a grouping of them would definitely be gorgeous on almost any wall. $895 for the collection of 6.

Casamood Argento Glazed Tile

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor

Your kitchen should suit your tastes, whether you prefer a modern look or a rustic one, and the Casamood Argento Glazed Tiles are a combination of styles that is versatile enough to work well in many types of kitchens. The tiles are brick shaped, for a slightly country feel, but have an elegant sheen to them that is very contemporary. They could be used for a whole accent wall or just for smaller designs within a larger, plainer tiling arrangement. They are pictured here in silver with a textured finish, but the tiles also are available in gold.

Outdoor Tiles Inspired by Nature

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Garden

I love the idea of outdoor tiles that actually interact with the outdoors, as opposed to those that just crush whatever piece of nature they are placed upon. These tiles, which seem to be from Promise Design, actually have grooves in them that allow grass to grow up through the tile, allowing for a styled burst of color that complements the flowers etched in the stone.

It is too bad that fall has set in already. Even though these tiles only need grass to have their full effect and could certainly be put out over the winter, it's hard to think of decorating the yard when you don't really want to spend much time outside.

Mood Light Flat Tiles

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor

It seems like we might run out of wall space before we run out of great things to decorate them with.

We have already heard about color-changing wall paint, but what about a color changing wall? Mood Light Flat Tiles conceal LED lights that can create a dazzling multi-colored display - or a soothing one - in your home. The red, blue and green color settings can be adjusted to create any color you can think of, and the unit comes with a remote control that allows you to define your own light pulses and patterns in addition to the preprogrammed patterns. The tiles are just under 3" thick, so using them will not cut dramatically into the amount of useable space in the room, and they combine almost seamlessly to cover large and small areas. Each 19.7"x19.7"2.8" tile is $629.

Dominic Crinson Tiles

Filed under: Decor

Wowsa. Through a post on Trendir I came across the amazing digital tile creations of Dominic Crinson. Crinson imprints digital images on ceramic tiles, creating tile versions of rugs and wallpaper as well as images like the papaya shown here or the seashell that the Trendir was a fan of. And of course, they'll do custom too so if you want to go the narcissist route and tile your bathroom with your own face, you can.

Wow, this is so cool. The tiles shown here are Moving Color glass tiles which are designed to change color when warm water or any radiant heat source effects them. The tiles come in three ttypes, Northern Lights, shown here, which appear black at room temperature and move through the color spectrum, Watercolor which come in eight colors and shift from colored to colorless when exposed to heat and Tye Dye which mimics the look of a tie-die shirt. One square foot of tile costs $180.

Daniel Ogassian Tiles

by Deidre Woollard (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor

Another exhibit that I caught my eye at CABoom was the work of Daniel Ogassian. Ogassian does tile, pottery and furniture that has a modular, puzzle-like appeal. The tiles can be combined in a variety of intriguing shapes. The tiles can be customized with different glazes and patterns using your own graphics. Ogassian also carries the modular look into his ceramic pods like the pod 3 planter shown here. After the jump, check out what I found to be one of Ogassian's most compelling designs, a tile that is designed to let grass grow up through it (and to think all of all that time you wasted weeding between tiles).
