While natural stone tile and manufactured tile in soft neutrals are still very popular, people who want something a little different are turning to contemporary trends that offer some really unique looks. While you would never connect these three styles, check out why they work:
Metals: Those of you out there who love your stainless appliances will really flip over the classy new "metal" tile. Sleek and sophisticated, snall metal tiles can create some really cool patterns and complement those big commercial sytle kitchen stove hoods that are so popular right now. There is also a broad range of finishes in these metal collections - from polish to satin. Use them on your backsplash for the WOW factor that makes a real statement.
Glass: Accent tile in cool shades of green, blue and browns are really in right now. They offer a relaxing sheen and sparkle that few can resist.
Put them on backsplashes, shower walls and accent walls for a trendy look that will never go out of style. Another plus.....most are made with recycled tile!
Hardwood "tile": Yes, Hardwood! Now you can have that beautiful hardwood look that you love in your bathroom. When your contractor tells you no, tell him your Bedrock/ Rite-Loom designer suggested faux hardwood porcelain tile! Manufacturers have gotten great at creating products that look like other material. They've mastered stone, now hardwood. Available in 2, 3 and 4 inch planks, this "wood" can take the moisture that natural wood can't. So....run the shower and jump into the warmth of wood in your bathroom!
