When we are lucky enough to receive pictures from completed
installations, we are always in awe of the different ways clients use our tiles
in their homes. We are now seeing our
patterned tiles used as center pieces on shower walls, rugs on bathroom floors, decorative stair risers, borders around fireplaces, and even on home bars. While we love a classic kitchen backsplash, it is always fun to see our tiles end up in spaces we never expect!
Decorating your home should be a fun, creative process
and a way to make your space personalized.
Using decorative tiles around your home is one way that you can take a plain
space and completely transform it into your own vision. Below we will show you 5 unique places to
dress up with tile.
1.) Shower Walls or Bath
Your bathroom should be your sanctuary. It is where you spend your time getting ready
in the morning and where you relax after a long day at work. Whether you prefer taking a soothing bath or
a shower to wind down, you should be surrounded by something that is beautiful and a design that you envisioned! Try
adding a shower wall or bath backsplash like the ones below to personalize your bathroom
experience.

2.) Floor Rug
Probably one of the most innovative things we’ve seen designers do
is create a permanent “rug” in their client’s bathroom or kitchen. Adding a tile rug to your home will
definitely catch the eyes of all your guests and is much easier to clean!

Stair Risers
Adding decorative stair risers to your home is one of the
fastest and most cost-effective ways of adding color and flare to your
home. It is such a simple addition to
your house, but will make your staircase completely customized.

Fire Place
Like stair risers, adding a border around your fireplace can
be a quick but impactful way of customizing this space. Even though it might seem like you’re not
doing much, this simple addition to your fireplace that will create a unique and eye-catching
focal point in the room.

Home Bar
Black Band Design recently renovated a Southern CA home and
we were amazed at the before and after shots. What really caught our eye was
the home bar they redesigned. We hope
that this is a trend that continues!

Renovating and designing your home can seem like a
daunting and difficult process in the beginning with the endless ways you can customize your home
and make it your dream palace. Don’t stress yourself out too much when
choosing what to change and redesign, the most important part of making over your space is that it is what you
had envisioned and something you created!
