'Few places are more synonymous with tile—all types of tiles—than Morocco. Your mind (at least our cement-tile-obsessed minds here at Granada Tile ) immediately conjure up images of stately riads with their dreamy interior courtyards and surfaces covered with jewel-like tiles. Over the years, Marcos and Melanie have made several trips to the country, traveling throughout for inspiration for our own collection of cement tiles.

'Ceramic tile is an ideal way to enhance the decorative style of any space, no matter the style. Some designers, and homeowners prefer modern styles, while others opt for more traditional styles. Fortunately both styles can be found in Spanish ceramic tile. Modern inspired ceramics are characterized by the simplicity of their designs. Textures and reliefs give way to uniformity, either through flat colors like purple walls, or the absence of color through the choice of smooth, soft colors such a

The Perfect Bath

JUNE 19, 2013

'The luxury of a bath cannot be underestimated. Greeks and Romans were the first to bathe regularly, but in cold water. Privacy was certainly not part of the bathing ritual; in fact, communal baths in large pools included food and music, conversations, and great design elements such as domes, vaulted ceilings, niches, rich decorative surfaces and symmetrical proportions.

'Although lighting doesn’t stand out the way cabinetry and countertops do in the kitchen, it’s an important aspect of the overall design. The right lighting can improve both functionality and aesthetics—and given that the kitchen is one of the most used and most seen rooms in your home, you don’t want to skimp on the lighting! If you’re planning for a kitchen redesign and your current space has fluorescent lighting or incandescent bulbs, you should consider LED lights, or LEDs (light-emitting di

'Here''s what I want to know: What''s the big deal? It seems that in 1920s, it was barbarous behavior for a lady to be knowledgeable of the linkage between hygiene and housekeeping insofar as the bathroom was concerned. This ad so tiptoes around the subject that the words ''toilet'', ''commode'', or even ''water closet'' are never featured; instead, we blushingly read about ''the most important and least discussed fixture''.

The Brecce collection of LED-illuminated stools—each piece a one-of-a-kind design, owing to its salvaged-wood construction—gives nature a little artistic twist while providing a place to perch. marcostefanelli.it.

'The rough-hewn timbers that give this space such architectural character are also a point of departure for the interior design. Opting for a contemporary suite of sleek fixtures and a progressive pastel color scheme is a chic push-back against the room''s historic origins. I like the gooseneck mirror mounted on the rafter; it''s a resourceful response to the lack of plumb walls.

'I''ve always admired the engineering—unheralded as it may be—that underlies the inserts that make the most of storage space in the kitchen. It''s one of those design injustices that these finely-crafted devices are typically relegated to unseen corners of cabinets. But this cylindrical cupboard not only rights that wrong, it becomes an architectural element in the room as well.
