Why We Love Listellos

 What is a Listello?

First, we should probably start off by explaining what exactly a "Listello" is.  Simply put, listellos are border or trim pieces. If you go to the Current Murals and Accents link on our website, you'll see Listellos as one of the categories.  All borders offer a unique design on them.

Custom Listellos

As you know, our customizing capabilities are virtually endless, which means we can absolutely design a custom border for you!   

One of our clients wanted a matching border to go with our Crystal Pattern, so we worked with her to create a listello that incorporated the same design elements.  

Another way we can customize a listello for you is by taking a design element out of one of our patterns and scaling it to the size you want.  Below is an example of how we took our normally square Wallflowers pattern and transformed it into a 2x6

Georgetown Master Bath Tour

Take a step into this contemporary  Georgetown master bathroom designed by the talented Davida Rodriguez of Davida's Kitchen and Tiles.  We fell in love with this sleek master bath and walk in closet which recently won our second installation contest giveaway.

What we love even more about this space is that it combines and utilizes three different collections from both our in-stock and made-to-order lines. We have never seen this done before but the result blew our minds!  See for yourself....

Davida first combined our Charmed pattern on a 12x12 carrara with our Ballad Listello on 3x6 carrara to create this tile rug.

She custom-colored the Ballad listello so that it matched the grey in the Charmed pattern.  Above is the original colorway offered.

The blend of patterns creates this one-of-kind look that serves as the focal point in between the bath area and walk-in closet.

The extended tile rug is the perfect walk-way that leads into this contemporary walk-in closet.

On the other side of this luxury master bath is the free-standing, classic bathtub.  Davida again used the Charmed and Ballad pattern combination to create this decorative wall-surround.

Davida used the opposite colorway offered in the Charmed collection, "Charmed Night in Pewter."

Lastly, Davida customized one of our in-stock patterns, Newport by featuring the striped pattern on a carrara rather than a natural durango, shown below.

What we love most about this master bath and closet is the creativity that went behind this renovation.  From the mix of patterns, to the custom coloring and stone choice, this space will always be a one-of-a-kind!
