Foyer
Foyer brings to life two of this year’s hottest interior fashion trends—the need for luxurious design and then conversely, the affinity for materials that come from nature, such as Foyer’s marble looks. Foyer features bold veining in three different marble designs, each with their own unique character and color palette. The collection’s 12 x 24 and 24 x 48 tiles can be used alone to create a grand marble visual, or may be coordinated in the same space with matching mosaics. Each of Foyer’s three different marble designs have matching 3-inch hexagon mosaics as well as 3-inch mixed mosaics. These mosaics are stunning as an accent, shower floor or even as an entire bathroom floor. This collection combines the beauty of marble visuals with the durability of ColorBody porcelain. Available nationwide.
Subtle Strands
Soft, woven movements mark this minimalist concrete look tile. Ready to withstand heavy foot traffic, Subtle Strands is a ColorBody porcelain tile available in a variety of neutral shades and popular sizes. The “barely there” visual adds interest and depth while the color selection creates a unified space. Your design project is complete with Subtle Strands. Available nationwide.
“Minimalist design many times uses texture and format to provide visual interest, as opposed to vivacious color or pattern,” Halbert said. “By realistically mimicking the warp and weft yarns in a sophisticated weave structure, Subtle Strands embodies the organic elements of woven materials, providing the illusion of texture.”
