  • An accent color such as red goes well with a neutral bathroom.  Consider adding a band of different colored tile around your bathrooms walls. Red is a great color as it really catches the eye.
  • Create a focal point in your bathroom by creating a tiled wall in a bright color.  Try a blue like Azure to draw the eye as soon as you enter the room.

  • Give a contemporary look to any  kitchen by tiling a complete backsplash.  Consider the colors already in your kitchen and choose a color that will complement your style.
  • If you are looking for something a little edgier, take the backsplash all the way up and around one side of the kitchen.  Adding light and shine with a reflective glaze.
  • Tiles also work well outside.  Create a tile art wall somewhere in your yard for visual interest.  Your guests will love gazing at it while sitting outside.
