As I noted last week, many of the most exciting and innovative styles in tile come from Spain and Italy. This is the second of two posts on the latest trends from those creative countries. This week, we’re looking at 2016 tiles and trends from Ceramics of Italy, as this major trade organization of Italian tile brands showed off at the big Cersaie expo in Bologna.

The True Apartment by SVOYA Studio is a private modern home located in Kiev, Ukraine. The designers aimed to develop a peaceful refuge for the inhabitants to contrast the hectic rhythm of a bustling metropolis. According to the designers, the customer wanted to convert the three-room apartment into a home with just two interiors: a spacious area that combined the kitchen and the living/dining room, and a large bedroom with lots of storage space and a glass-enclosed shower.

Seattle’s Omega Ouzeri is redefining Greek food for a new generation. Based around the long-standing tradition of mezedes – small portions, of exceptional food, to be shared by everyone around the table, the restaurant has been consistently lauded by patron and critic alike for its food (“I was in its thrall starting with the olive-oil martini made by infusing vodka with koroneiki Kalamata extra virgin olive oil from Greece,” wrote Providence Cicero in the Seattle Times) and i

The Perfect Bath
NOVEMBER 11, 2015
I’ve made a decision: A little drama in the bath is a very good thing. Everyone knows I’m a proponent of white baths — and there are so many exquisite ones — but somehow a bath clad in dark tile or paint just feels new and exciting. Perhaps a better way to describe it would be romantic, or maybe even moody. One of the most remarkable attributes of a stunning dark color is its ability to camouflage a bath’s unremarkable architecture and disguise the flaws in a room.

When does a stone, glass and wood house stand out? When it’s built in the Czech countryside. Designed by Qarta Architecture and featuring a view of the Beskid Mountains in the distance, House Tabasek offers modern comfort in a rural setting. According to the architects, the 4,144-square-foot home is the result of a false start. “The first idea was to reconstruct the old house on this parcel,” they say. “The original house, situated in the middle of the garden, was a product o

I don’t know about you, but the holidays always means cooking, cooking and more cooking. While the idea of cooking is wonderful, the idea of standing on my tile floor in my kitchen for hours kills my back. After about 1 hour in I have to go put on sneakers to stand in my own kitchen.

Since your dining room holds so many special memories, it deserves an equally special design. Fortunately, we have some dining room ideas to help you create the best space possible.

Broken Dishes Quilt Block Trivet by Margaret Almon. No dishes were harmed in the making of this trivet. Broken Dishes is one of my favorite quilt patterns, and I enjoy the fact that I use only glass tile in creating the design in mosaic. There is a form of mosaic, Pique Assiette, that is made entirely from broken dishes. Glass is my love. The creative spirit incarnates in many different forms and mediums, and for a long time I thought I loved sewing, when in fact what I loved was fabric and

When it comes to sleep, comfort is not a luxury, it’s a necessity. For many, finding the right mattress can be the difference between waking up well-rested and “stay out of my way, there literally isn’t enough coffee in the world.” Sifting through the labyrinth to find the right mattress, however, can cause even the savviest of shoppers to forfeit precious sleep researching competitive brands into the wee hours of the morning.

It’s possible that I have lost my mind by showing you this project. Not only does it date me as someone who pre-dates computers, but it also could potentially expose me to vast amounts of ridicule. When I decided to select “My First Project” as a topic for this month’s ArchiTalks topic, I knew instantly which project I would choose to focus on – not because it’s so good, but because I had all sorts of attachments that I could refer to (which is an important co
