TILE FILE: BYE BYE RUGS, HELLO MOSAICS!

November 25, 2011

Living room in a Barcelona home with mosaic tile floor, white sofa and white molded walls and ceiling

A Barcelona home with a restored mosaic tile floor! Just lovely in my view. The classic mosaic designs mean there is no need for anything extra on these floors in this Spanish home…no rugs, carpets or anything else. The decor and furnishings in these rooms has to stay simple because of the detailed tiled floor. This works for me…a bit of pattern and then the rest kept uber simple. Yes!

This TILE FILE idea would require one thing for me…heated floors!

What do you think of these mosaic floors in this home in Spain? Love or don’t love?  Want to hear whether this works for you!

Happy day after Thanksgiving by the way…or as we say here in the U.S., Happy Black Friday (called Black Friday because on this day after Thanksgiving the hope is there is enough pre-Christmas shopping going on that it puts retailers “in the black” with profits being recorded instead of lossess…who knew…I didn’t…I had to look this up…)!

Happy Friday!

    I never knew that (about Black Friday and profits versus loss)! Thanks for looking that up.

    I love the look of mosaic tile on floors, also on shower walls with frameless glass enclosures. Ann Sacks has some gorgeous mosaics that I covet. I’m seriously thinking of doing something like that in my Master Bath if I ever get around to finishing it, but I’m with you — HAVE to have a heated floor!

    the mosaic designs add so much character to a space, but they are also a huge long term commitment so you shouldn’t be following a trend so that you don’t get tired of it.
    I love the way the hallway looks with the tile design.

    What a beautiful home! I love the tile floors, especially since the home is in a hot climate.

    I’ve always been in love with mosaic – especially if it’s a combo of mat, and shiny – This mosaic floor is no exception…. It’s Beautiful!
    I really love it down the hall ❤

    Yes, I do love the look and it is so practical for a warm and beachy area. I’d really miss the warmth and texture of a rug during the cold seasons here in the midwest.

    The mosaics in this home are stunningly beautiful. I had a hard time wrapping my brain around the amount of work that went into these floors. A friend asked me to tile his laundry room using left over tile from several jobs. We broke up pieces that weren’t enough to do an actual pattern and made a mosaic. Turned out to be pretty cool. No where near the caliber of this tile job though. I would love to see the rest of the house.

    I love those floors and have great admiration for the workmanship that went into them.

Before you start moving furniture, ask yourself thBefore you start moving furniture, ask yourself these three questions:
Does this improve the room’s function?
Does it create a better focal point?
Does it make the space easier to walk through?
If the answer is “no” to all three, maybe it’s just the rearranging itch talking. 😅
Save this for the next time you’re tempted to move every piece of furniture in your house.
Watch to the end to weigh in. Clogs or no clogs? TWatch to the end to weigh in. Clogs or no clogs? They are on sale...not sure.
Summer sale season is here, and we are not holding back. 👏
This is the time of year to finally grab those pieces you’ve been eyeing all season. The good news? Major markdowns are happening right now across some of the best brands.
Our tip: Shop with intention. Know your palette, know your fit, and choose pieces that work with what you already own, not just because they’re on sale.
We’ve already done the hard work and created a Summer Sale Shopping Board filled with our favorite finds. A Shopping Board is like your own storefront. It’s a curated collection of products you can shop yourself or share with others to earn when they purchase through your links.
✨ Want to make it yours?

From there, you can shop the collection, share it with your audience, earn from your recommendations, and get cashback on your own purchases. 💛

A 90s home in Amman, Jordan, entirely remodelled by local artisans. Neo-Florentine bones, Levant-eclectic sensibility, arched passageways, and a flea-market-meets-commissioned-art collection that makes every wall feel intentional.

This is what happens when a home is built by people who actually know the place. 🖤

If you only have 10 minutes, focus on these three things:
1. Make the bed. It instantly makes the whole room look cleaner.
2. Fold or straighten the throw blanket and pillows.
3. Clear visible clutter from nightstands and the floor.
That’s it. Those three steps make the biggest visual impact without deep cleaning.

Black is not a bold choice. It’s a neutral, and one of the most versatile ones in design.
The rooms that get it right treat black the same way others treat white or greige: as a foundation that lets everything else breathe. The texture of the wall. The warmth of the wood. The drama of the marble. Black doesn’t compete, it amplifies.
Save this the next time someone talks you out of going dark. 🖤
