TILE TRIFECTA-1

This series of three bathrooms is an example of how to achieve a consistent design aesthetic throughout the house while allowing each room to be unique.

Limestone is prevalent through the home and landscape. Each bathroom uses limestone in varying amounts and patterns.

This guest bath started with the son’s selection of with this shower head. The streamline fixture and the tall shower space is accentuated with the narrow tile pattern installed vertically. The glass tiles dispersed randomly through the limestone pattern to replicate rain showers sparkles with the natural light cast by the skylight above. The tile pattern was a custom blend to coordinate with the limestone floor & countertop.

TILE TRIFECTA-2

This second guest bath in the series was also a custom tile mix. The daughter selected the small mosaic pattern and the accenting frosted glass tan tile was selected to coordinate with the limestone and the plaster walls.

Throughout the home certain details at the countertops maintain the continuity of design as well. Each limestone counter has a six inch built up edge to aid in the appearance of a solid slab top. The vertical grain rift cut white oak cabinets are suspended off the floor, allowing the limestone floor to flow visually underneath.

Frameless glass shower enclosures allow the color of the tile to play a strong role with the calm neutral tones of the rest of the room. The tile with hints of blue and green also reflects the landscape viewed through the window.

TILE TRIFECTA-3

The master suite, third in the series, accentuates the texture and pattern of the limestone in tile and slab. The large format 9x18 tiles are slightly textured on the floor and honed to a smooth finish on the walls. The tub deck and vanity are smooth slabs of the same material. The limestone selected has enough variation in color to provide variety and texture.

The tile is detailed to be flush with the adjacent plaster walls and the plaster tone pulls its color from the limestone. This aids in the seamless transition between tile and wall and ceiling.
