So we were intrigued when we spotted the cement tile designs of British designer Lindsey Lang.

We’ve just added an exciting new product to the London Tile website – Lustrolite high gloss wall panels. Sleek and modern looking kitchens often feature high-shine glass splashbacks, but these can be expensive and difficult to fit. Lustrolite panels are just one third of the weight of glass, and 20 times stronger, but still have the deep colour and gloss of glass.

We are continually inspired by texture and the way something feels — rough, smooth, three-dimensional. It’s an important visual design element we look for in objects, fabrics, architecture and paintings. On a recent trip to Miami I had an “aha moment”: All of the new building developments in the Design District (the location of our Miami Waterworks showroom) use forms of texture for their exteriors.

Many of us associate the herringbone pattern, as used in flooring, with old world European style. Indeed, this is where the pattern gained its popularity in Italian and French homes as early as the 1500’s. We love the associations it brings to mind with charming French homes, and even Versailles. Yet today the pattern lends itself to modern interpretations, offering fresh looks to kitchens, bathrooms, really any room, indoors and out!

Sometimes people we respect say things that are ridiculous and it’s almost impossible to not make fun of them for saying something silly.

We were on the phone and I was trying to navigate him through the project to where we wanted to install a wall outlet.
