Trend Watch: Wood-Look Tile

Thu, 28 Apr 2011 11:45:00 +0000

For look, finish and durability, hardwoods are hard to beat. But what about using hardwoods in rooms that are more suited to other types of materials, such as the bathroom? Thanks to an increasing availability of wood-look tile, you can extend the look of wood throughout your entire home while enjoying the benefits of tile flooring. Consumer demand has prompted more tile companies to expand their offerings into designs that mimic the look and texture of wood. And although hardwoods are durable, especially if properly sealed and maintained, tile can stand up to heavy moisture, scratches and stains better than wood, making it ideal for water-prone and high-traffic areas throughout your home. Companies like Daltile are introducing wood-look tile lines that pay close attention to detail. Daltile’s “Terrace” series features wood grain and knots, as well as a tight grout joint to create a realistic and authentic look.

Rustic homes have an indefinable charm. For today we would like to showcase this two-level colorful house rehabilitated by Joaquin Diaz while respecting the traditional features of the initial building. According to Delikatissen , the first floor houses the common areas, a small bathroom and an apartment designed for guests who come visit. The bedrooms are on the top floor, around a common living room. Wood finishes such as wooden floors, beams and pillars connect the spaces. But the life of this project is given by its colorful decorations: Andy Warhol posters, playful pillows, original furniture items and beautiful flower arrangements- they all contribute to a vivid and fresh atmosphere.

Wall-Hung Bathroom Sink Saves Space

Fri, 22 Apr 2011 15:10:20 +0000

Not everybody has spacious luxurious bathrooms with room for giant jetted tubs, two-person showers, and double sinks. If you’re working with a tighter space, and every square foot counts, you can free up floor space by installing a wall-mounted sink. The Aqua 70TA Ceramic Wall-Hung Basin has a sleek modern look, and it’s compact as well. It includes a little counter space–enough to hold your soap and toothbrushes, anyway!–and a towel bar. The sink protrudes only 15″ into the bathroom, and the round nature of the bowl means no sharp edges to bump against. Looks like a good bet for a small bathroom! From Hastings Tile & Bath
