DESIGN IDEA: WHEN IN DOUBT, JUST TILE THE WALL!

Every been trying to decide between the right wall paint color, tile color, countertop color combination in a kitchen or bath? Well here is a solution…eliminate one of the surface color choices by just using tile for the whole wall. To keep a kitchen or bath design simple but stylish, try tiling all the way to the ceiling. A tiled wall makes a luxe design statement…so why not give it a try?

    Wow, I love every single look shown here. I’m really big on white and this gives great ideas for texture and variation.

    Love the look! Using tile to the ceiling gives any room a finished looked + you’ll never have to paint again!! Beautiful.

Inside, the palette stays quiet so the view leads: warm plaster, natural stone, reclaimed beams and collected antiques. The kitchen ceilings rise to 16 feet over a marble island under Rose Tarlow chandeliers. Out on the patio, a stone fireplace looks across the valley.
