New Ann Sacks Tiles By Michael S. Smith

Filed under: Decor

At the 2010 Kitchen and Bath Industry show in Chicago, the Ann Sacks brand introduced a range of beautiful new tile designs. The brand creates some of the most distinctive and innovative tiles around. The new range includes a variety of different styles. Particularly winning are the two new tile collections by designer, Michael S Smith. Smith was tapped by the Obamas to create the look for their family quarters at the White House. His Cosmati line features ten different patterns with names like Alexandria and Fez evoking exotic locales. The patterns uses a total of 86 different colored natural stones and have a timeless, luxurious quality. The designs were inspired by elements of Greek, Parisian and Moroccan antiquities. The dramatic lines and large scale graphics will probably appear in elegant hotel lobbies very soon.

Smith's Gilt line takes solid aim at the idea that bling is back, the beveled glass and hand-hammered precious metal bricks are offered in rose gold, antique gold, white gold or platinum leaf.

Designer Barbara Barry also has two new Ann Sacks lines: Starburst, embossed ceramic glazed tile designs inspired by "falling stars" and Frame which features glazed ceramic tile that incorporates raised and recessed edges.

Ann Sacks' Sculptural Tiles

by Laura Malesich (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor, Art

Changing out plain, old ceramic tiles in a boring color can have a dramatic effect on your kitchen, bathroom or fireplace. Creating interest while adding ambiance with sculptural elements can really punch up the volume in a space. I'm especially drawn to the effect produced by Ann Sacks' decorative tiles. Using a time-honored, Italian technique called sgraffito, which uses clay carved reliefs, each tile becomes a unique expression all on its own. Available in either 'Dahlia' or 'Nautilus', tiles can be purchased in groups of fifteen to create a mural for approximately $480 plus tax and shipping. Personally I'm taken with the Dahlia design in persimmon and the warm effect it would have in a kitchen or around a fireplace.

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

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

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.

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.

Pampa Leather Tiles

by Deidre Woollard (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor

One of the difficulties of choosing flooring is that once you put it in you are stuck forever. Not so with the Pampa leather tiles from Artistic Tile. The large leather tiles are magnetized so that they can be applied over sheet metal without mortar, grout or adhesives. You can easily switch the floor or wall from the warm look of naturally fur-covered cowhide tile to a smooth leather tile for the warmer months. The 18" x 18" tiles are also treated for stain resistance making them a durable home decor option.

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.

Wood Deck Tiles

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor

For most of us, stability is the single most important factor when building a deck or, in the event you're house shopping, examining existing structures. After all, there is no sense in something that looks pretty if it is on the verge of collapse. A great solution is to build a basic, sturdy deck and dress it up. These Wood Deck Tiles give the appearance of a uniquely finished outdoor floor in a snap. The 18" square tiles are finished with a water-resistant chocolate stain and simply snap together. They come in sets of four, so you can cover an area as large or small as you like. Price: $99.

Wallpaper is the new... paint? Instead of leaving walls as solid colors, no matter how bright the color choices are, more and more people are opting to give their homes a further degree of interest with wallpaper. There are an almost unlimited number of patterns to choose from, but for a really unique look, textured paper is the way to go. MioCulture's V2 3D Wallpaper can give a room more than just the appearance of texture. The wallpaper comes in square "tiles" that are made out of 100% recycled paper.
