BEFORE
Today’s tile trends extend so far beyond their traditional use as a staple of bathroom design that you may not recognize them. While once the most attrac- tive and innovative tiles had to be imported, contemporary handcraft- ed tile and stone products for home design are now being made right here in the United States.
Homeowners and interior design- ers alike are always seeking distinc- tive visual touches to make each home special. Here are five ways tile design can enhance a room.
Use tiles interchangeably to cre- ate a unique design. The Ann Sacks Radius Collection by designer Bar- bara Barry has five distinct modular designs that can be used indepen- dently, or combined to create pat- terns to delight the eye.
Creative use of a variety of tile shapes like these can easily elevate small spaces such as baseboards, fireplace surrounds or backsplash areas in a kitchen.
or or mix colors to create a pattern, the choices can overwhelm.
“I enjoy the soft juxtaposition of watery blue tones, soft green tones and the neutral colors of gravel,” ex- plains Barry.
If you’re not working with a de- signer, consider traditional comple- mentary color pairs when making decor choices, such as red-green, blue-orange or yellow-purple.
CREATE A CALM MOOD
The latest trends in interior de- sign reflect the desire for homes to be sanctuaries. Inspired by the clean lines, appropriate scale and exacting proportion prevalent in midcentury modern architectural design, Barry describes her collection as “soft modern, defined by a curved edge for a sensual feel.”
Choosing colors, lines, shapes and scale with simplicity in mind can help contribute to a feeling of calm.
Find what appeals to you, and work with a designer or manufac- turer who can meet your requests. In her collection, Barry provides tools
for consumers or designers to cus- tomize patterns. Smaller manufac- turers can personalize your project with their flexibility, customizing color choices and resurrecting a retired pattern or color, or even by recreating tiles present in a home refurbishing or renovating project. Make your space your own.
CREATE VISUAL INTEREST
Choose different textures through materials like wood, glass or tile to break up an otherwise ordinary sur- face in a room. Radius is available in all Made by Ann Sacks matte and gloss colorways, which can be installed as a singular color state- ment or mixed to evoke a unique, personalized design, whether to cre- ate a captivating statement-making wall or to cover an entire floor. The choice of tile adds a textural element to a room that can’t be duplicated by any other material.
Ann Sacks, founded in 1981 in Portland, Oregon, draws talented craftspeople to create inspiring de- signs in tile, stone, plumbing, light- ing and accessories.
