Give your eyes a treat - gorgeous color abounds


If you love color, this is a fascinating video to watch.  The Printing Ink Company is located in Ontario, Canada and they manufacture ink used for professional printing.  Who knew that an industrial process that sounds so mundane and boring could actually be so visually arresting?


The person who shot this video certainly has a great eye. His name is Tate Young.

We work with color and ink every day, so we can really appreciate the careful attention and passion that goes into this company's ink making. And since we are on the subject of us (shameless self-promotion, we know),  take a look at some of the more colorful designs from our new catalog.

Colorful and fun tiles - Deco Dots


Deco Dots are sets of colorful, decorative 1x1 mosaics* that you can use in a variety of ways. Think of them as jewelry to dress up your plain and boring background tiles.   You can find them on page 141 of our newest tile catalog.

DDS311300 Deco Dots Saybrook Vibrant Set

DDS311301 Deco Dots Saybrook Natural Set

Place the Deco Dots randomly in a mosaic to add a subtle touch of color to your walls. Or use them as diagonal inserts in any straight tile layout. 



You are in full control of where you insert the Deco Dot Tiles.  Go wild and random or keep things more orderly with even spacing.  You can add one whole set of dots into a single square foot of mosaic.  Or you can spread them out over a few square feet for a more spacious feel.  Place the Deco Dot Tiles exactly where you want them to create a unique design that is truly your own.

Deco Dots mix perfectly with other materials like ceramic or glass. Choose the Vibrant color scheme to make a bold statement or go with the Natural colors for a more subdued look. A simple and beautiful way to add life to your walls. 

*Actual size of each individual square tile is 15/16" x 15/16".

Introducing Carrara marble

Baku Listello on Carrara


We are excited to announce that we have just added Carrara marble as one of our stone options. The honed Carrara joins our Limestone as another choice with a straight edge for a cleaner, more modern feel.  It is incredible how vibrant and rich the colors are on the smooth, white surface of the Carrara.  We have also designed new black and white collections specifically for the Carrara tile.   These new collections will be introduced in an upcoming catalog to be released very soon.  Here is a preview of some of the new tile collections on Carrara:


Cambridge Collection on Carrara



Sailboat Accents from our Nautical Collection on Carrara


 Windsor Collection in Soft Blue and Dove Grey on Carrara


 Carolina Summer Accents on Carrara



Keys Collection on Carrara


 Serenata Tile Pattern in Iron Color


Like other signature StoneImpressions products, the decorative Carrara tiles are created using an exclusive artist-developed process for hand printing almost unlimited designs on stone. Designers and homeowners can choose from a vast library of murals and patterns or choose their own design to make an especially individual statement.   StoneImpressions’ other stone options are Light Travertine, tumbled Durango, tumbled Botticino, tumbled Bianco and straight-edge Limestone.  All StoneImpressions’ designs can be resized and printed on any stone type.

New catalog coming soon!  Keep an eye out for more information.

Nautical Tiles on Carrara have arrived!

New catalog coming soon and one of our favorite new looks is the Nautical Collection.  Some of our more vocal East Coast fans have been asking for this for a while now.  (We won't mention any names. [Frank])  

These designs are perfectly suited for our new stone type - Carrara.  Carrara is a beautiful white marble with clean lines.  So far, for everything that we have printed on the Carrara tiles, the colors just sing!
