FloorTalk – for all the latest flooring fashions

These tiles are in a commercial bathroom in Blackhawk, Colorado. This is a great example of few different design techniques and points to be noticed:

• A coordinating (not matching) floor and wall tile
• This floor tile could go on the walls, but the wall tile could not go on the floor
• A dimensional (v-cap) cap to finish out the tile at the top rather than a flat piece of bullnose
• The tile used in the field is not flat- it is made to look like a basket weave
• The mosaic listello inserted as a decorative band in the field tile
• Most people would think that the decorative band is too busy for the wall tile. What a great combination it turned out to be!
• The subway shaped tile is set in an offset joint or staggered joint pattern
• Note the warmth of all of the selections in the room
