Tile as Artwork

There are so many options for gorgeous tile these days that it doesn't need to serve only a functional purpose.  Tile can be used as artwork in rooms like kitchens and bathrooms.  Since most tile is fairly durable and moisture resilient it is a great option for spaces that get a lot of use.

Here, at Donna DuFresne Design, we recently completed a tile project for a client's master bathroom.  The wood in the bathroom was beautiful and she wanted to keep it while updating both the style and function of the room.  One of the main issues was that there was no shower; only a bath.


Before


Since there really wasn't room for a dedicated shower, making the space into a wet room was a clear choice.  The client loved the idea and several tile options were selected for the featured wall.



The client chose to go with the Grigio Wave tile and then Quarziti 2.0 Glacier from Oregon Tile & Marble was picked to compliment that.  A shower was installed along the back feature wall and towel hooks were added.  While the Foliage tile would have looked great, the Grigio Wave really brightens things up.  Here is the finished product!
