Modern Herringbone Tile

Zapala_Herringbone
Walker Zanger's Zapala Collection. Crafted from dolomitic limestone, its warm palette features a subtle blend of tan, taupe and khaki laced with ribbons of caramel. This tile would complement pretty much any room in any style, including Modern, Transitional, Zen and Spa.

It's available in herringbone (which we love), mini-planking and three-by-four-inch mosaics.

Bath Trends

Bath trends

What's steaming up baths this season?

Wood: Oak. Ash. Brazilian Cherry. Walnut. For centuries, these and other hardwoods have been preferred for fine furniture -- and now they are making their way into the bathroom.

Marble: Wealthy Roman citizens bathed frequently in ornately decorated bathing rooms, in which marble was used for the bathtubs. Why not you?

Cast Polymer: This less common material creates a thermo-insulated vessel, which requires less energy to heat, and that will retain hot water longer than any cast iron or acrylic bathtub.

Granite: Long valued for its strength and longevity, granite is a beautiful natural resource.

Check out more from Stone Forest.

Fall kitchen and bath trends!

Give your kitchen or bathroom a fresh new look for fall – on a budget! Yes, I said budget! That previously ugly word is now a chic accessory.

GLS Fusion Fusion
Mixing up tiles made of glass, stone, metal and natural elements is an up and coming trend. The eclectic look is perfectly in sync with today’s home furnishings aesthetic.










Circle is the New SquareGLS Circular
For years straight lines and boxed-in design was all the rage, but today’s home fashions are much more well-rounded. Touted as the one of the hottest kitchen and bath trends for fall, round and oval tiles will make your space pop.









GLS Neutral New Neutrals
Traditional neutrals, like beiges and browns, are being replaced with modern grays and blues. Pair them with anything from chocolate brown to fall’s hot jewel tones. The new color combo creates a sleek, sophisticated look.

Not just for chocolate

In a world where consumer goods are produced with such haste that they lose their quality, the label “Made in Switzerland” becomes more convincing. Laufen, the first manufacturer of ceramic bath furnishings in Switzerland, introduces a new timeless design with dual functionality.

Swissness

Anyone living with a mate know that the bathroom can often be a battleground. The Double Countertop Washbasin, as part of the Vienna Collection, hopes to lessen quarrels and amp up style.

Wooden Tiles for Spas, Pools, Bathrooms

-3    -1

-2 KUUPS uses the latest technology to bring the warmth of wood into high humidity installations with its new range of wooden tiles.

I have no idea how they accomplish this, although I've read the explanation. It includes  a lot of references to H2O eco hardwoods optimized through exposure to high temp HPL, phenolic resins, and celulose fibers.

The tiles have already been used in Spa installations in international hotel chains like the Hilton, Marriott and FourSeasons. They're avialable in a combination of 13 formats and 6 wood types, so customization for projects is easy. The woods used come from sustainable forests and are PEFC (Pan european Forest Council) certified.
