Traditional terrazzo is made up of stone chips that were set in concrete and polished to create a smooth surface. The technique dates back to the mid-15 th century where it was first used In Venice as a way to re-purpose left over pieces of marble from past installations.

Geometric shapes in interior design are a hot trend, and it’s no stretch to proclaim that the six sided honeycomb-like hexagon has become the queen bee of all shapes, especially when it comes to ceramic tile.

I see more than a little bit of Sol LeWitt in the bold, precise lines that course through this bath by Jean-Louis Deniot. But that's not paint on the walls or floor—it's stone. [Beige French limestone and grey Cascais limestone, to be specific.] The cabinet doors continue the pattern; are they mirrored or painted? I'll never tell—to do so would dilute the mystery of the space. deniot.com.

The kitchen is one of the most loved and used areas of the home so why not make it one of the coziest areas as well. One way to make the kitchen cozier is by adding in a rug. The last thing you may want to do is add a rug in the kitchen because it may seem counteractive due to there being food involved. This can ultimately mean the rug will become dirtier and messier a lot sooner.

The Vision oven features a full-door, 19-inch screen that's easily readable from a comfortable distance.

In the wake of Thanksgiving, it's almost startling to see a kitchen that's so tidy. That reaction is heightened by several more integral factors of the design: The shadowy, fog-colored palette; the dissolving, rounded edges of the cabinets, the coved ceiling, and the arched door; the time-telescoping use of contemporary and period details. Hmm.maybe the room is more evocative of Halloween than Turkey Day?
