We LOVE Penny tile because it can be an inexpensive material that is very customizable, and is very popular beyond the typical use on a bathroom floor. Its flexibility in design can give any project a high end feel — the options are endless and can work with so many different design aesthetics.

If you’re not already familiar, these are circular tiles roughly the size of real pennies.  They were popular in homes across the country in the early 20th century which is why you’ll often spot them in historic homes, or in homes where people are trying to create a vintage feel.  Many home owners use colorful patterns or black and white designs to bring that vintage feel into their spaces.

That doesn’t mean this tile style only works if you’re going for a retro feel, though. Choosing a single color of penny tile can deliver a clean, minimalist look.

On the other end of the spectrum, choosing a range of colored penny tiles and arranging them in interesting patterns delivers a powerful punch to any space.

With the popularity of penny tiles comes a new variety of materials beyond your typical ceramic – we are seeing marble, glass and metal versions which all give a different look and feel to a room.

Using penny tiles in todays design aesthetic includes any wall or floor in the bathroom – or if you are really adventurous putting penny tiles on every surface in the bathroom from floor to ceiling! Beyond the bathroom, we are seeing penny tiles used in creative appilcations as an accent or a wainscot, kitchen backsplashes, fireplace surrounds, stair treads and more. The flexibility of the mesh mounted backing also allows for creating some dramatic looks playing off the curves of the space.

A fun way to utilize penny tiles that has also been trending is creating fun words or phrases out of penny tiles. Often seen in bathrooms, entry ways, laundry rooms, dog showers or fireplace hearths; it’s a unique and artistic way to express yourself and the vibe of your home.

Whether it’s marble, ceramic, glass or metal, we’ve shown that the penny tile is a great option for basically any space in your house. Your installer will appreciate the easy installation of these mesh mounted sheets, and in the case of ceramic or porcelain versions, you get a high end look for not a lot of pennies….the other kind!

Pumkin spice lattes aren’t the only sign that Fall is upon us – the colorful leaves and the cooler temperatures remind us that we are officially into Fall. With the change of season it feels like a good time to look at some of the most recent tile and interior design trends we are seeing. From the movement away from greys in the kitchen (and everywhere) to the updated version of a warm neutral, to the explosion in the popularity of green tile and cabinetry and beyond, we’ve got a few great things happening that we’d love to share.

Green With Envy: While we started seeing green as an option for kitchen cabinetry about a year or so ago, but now we’d say it’s official – Green is the new Grey or White. Cabinetry colors that range from shades of sage to bolder and darker greens are now common place, often using brass fixtures to highlight the beautiful tones. It’s a great way to bring the outdoors in, and when used correctly, it is stunning. We are seeing the same for green tiles – kitchen backsplashes in soft greens are another big trend right now.

Green continues to be a popular choice in bathrooms as well – from accent walls and wainscoting to shower walls, it brings a bit of drama and moodiness to any space while still bringing that feeling of nature inside the room.

 

A Hidden Gem: The popularity of Onyx and Agate slabs has exploded off of vision boards and into real life application on shower walls and other areas. We are seeing these stones used for bar backsplashes and special feature walls throughout the home. The adoration for these stones has lead to Porcelains made to look like both Onyx and Agate. Coming in large formats like 24×48, 67×124 and other options, the porcelains give you an amazingly close to perfect look for a fraction of the cost of the full slabs.

Warming Things Up: Warm, earthy colors are back! Those that are in-the-know have been predicting this trend for years, and we are finally seeing mainstream design embracing the resurgence of beige. The shift to warmer colors isn’t an exact revival of the yellow hued beiges of the past (thankfully!) – today’s preferred warm tones have a greige or taupe undertone, which provides a more elegant, timeless aesthetic. Seamlessly complimenting a variety of styles, these hues provide a sense of calm in any space. Mixing textures and materials can add depth and dimension bringing some additional interest to your neutral space. Textures really help reinforce the organic feel most designers are envisioning when incorporating warmth into their projects.

Flower Power! The 70’s are back, people! Bold, colorful large format floral tiles that give a feeling of wallpaper are a huge trend right now. From super high end to mid and low priced options, you have a “bouquet” of options when it comes to patterns, colors, textures and finishes.

Black and White Checkerboard pattern tile, typically set in a diamond pattern, is most commonly known as a “Harlequin” Pattern in design circles and has been around forever — literally. The pattern has been noted to date back as early as 1500 B.C., and has been found on relics, artifacts and even Egyptian Hieroglyphics. The Harlequin pattern has been a staple throughout Europe for centuries, most notably on the landing of the Queens staircase at Versailles (shown here below). Ironically, what is old is new again, as there has been no slow down in the patterns popularity today. We are seeing the checkerboard pattern used in both formal and casual applications as it offers an unexpected chic elegance that can transform almost any room into timeless spaces.

The most common material used in the formal, classic version of the Harlequin pattern is a mix of Nero Marquina and Carrara Marbles set in a diamond pattern, which gives a beautiful sense of formality and grandeur. There are many examples of this classic pattern lending itself to more modern homes in hallways, formal foyers/entryways, kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms and pantries – as you can see, it works well in all spaces.

From formality came an entirely new mid Century movement for the Checkerboard pattern — a version made from linoleum found in diners and kitchens around the U.S. for many years. Today’s diners will typically replicate the checkerboard look for a more authentic old school diner feel.

The checkerboard pattern has morphed into a style spectrum that no longer limits us to either super formal looks or kitchy designs. It now spans from elegant and sophisticated bold statements to more soft versions in new/different color pallets, and materials such as porcelain, cement and even painted wood options.

If you find checkered floors as charming as we do, yet crave a more subtle take on the style, create a spin on the classic by utilizing one of these more subtle colors such as the natural greys and whites, tan and whites or mix with warm woods and metals in your furniture, cabinetry finishes and fixtures.

You might not know the name (yet), but you’ve seen them: zellige tiles are quite the trend right now — we’ve seen them pop up everywhere we’ve looked over the last year or so, our Instagram feeds are filled with pictures of them, and their appeal is both in their handmade appearance and their “perfectly imperfect” character.

Ironically, one of the biggest tile trends of the past year isn’t new — in fact, it’s older than subway tile (and that’s really old)! Zellige tile dates back to 10th-century Morocco, and in its purest, most authentic form is unfortunately a bit of a dying art. Tiles are hand-shaped, dried, fired, and then hand-glazed, ensuring no two will be alike. Grout lines tend to be minimal, and a typical zellige is square or rectangle in shape and neutral in color. But lately, color has been a huge part of the zellige movement, with moody jewel tones and our favorite blush tones paving the way in a range of applications. Interesting tile lays like an offset vertical stack or a running bond give zellige an even cooler look. We thought it would be fun to give zellige it’s moment here on the blog, and show you some of the many ways it’s being used and how beautiful it can be.

Since zellige started mostly in the neutrals, lets start there. Pale zellige tiles bring depth to a space and can create a soothing, calm yet sophisticated feel to any space despite their old world look and feel. Used in the bath, kitchen or even on a fireplace, the white zellige is a stunning yet simple design element in any space.

Pairing Zellige with a contrasting material lends itself to a rich, textural narrative. This massive shower below is lined in wall-to-wall zellige tiles, while the tub is surrounded by marble that bleeds from the backsplash to the floor. It has virtually no color, yet it has layers of texture and tone.

The trend in zellige towards jewel tones like emerald green and blue tones makes for dramatic or moody spaces. Using the zellige on every surface — for instance the shower walls, shower floor and bath floor makes for a high impact punch of color.

We cannot help but show a few blush colored zellige applications. We will never grow tired of this color and in zellige it’s beyond beautiful. Colors like the jewel tones above and the blush pinks below really show the beauty in zellige’s variation from tile to tile. If a tile claims to be zellige, and it doesn’t have major variation in hue, tone and texture, along with imperfections in the tiles, it’s not real zellige. Remember, perfectly imperfect!

Fireplace surrounds are another space ideal for zellige. A unique firing process makes zellige tiles super resilient and therefore is a perfect selection for around a fireplace surround and/or hearth.

Zellige can be used on floors as well. We love the idea of bringing those vibrant colors onto the floor, and of course, a herringbone pattern makes for a stunning installation.

Handmade Zellige is special — the time and effort the craftsman put into making these miniature pieces of art means long lead times of 8-10 weeks before you’ll see them at your doorstep. It’s worth the wait, but if you don’t have the time or the budget, many manufacturers are getting into the game and making ceramic “Zellige-esque” looking tiles that are a pretty decent substitute and achieve a fairly similar look to the real thing.

We love that zellige is a design darling right now, and we think it’s here to stay!

A few weeks ago I saw this pink laundry room pictured above on my Instagram feed and I cannot get it out of my head – it is the sweetest, pinkest, dreamiest, most feminine laundry room I have ever seen. Everything about it is amazing – and it was so clearly created specifically for the owner of that home. I was beyond jealous because I have to lug laundry down to my basement, to an unfinished space that is, well, just gross. I started to think about how so many of us use this room probably more than any other, yet it’s basically at the bottom of the barrel for creating a special space designed just for you — until recently.

We spend our days in the showroom helping people design their dream spaces, including laundry rooms, and so we thought that we would share a few to inspire all of us to create laundry spaces that are functional, beautiful and that make you happy.

To keep with the pink theme of my dream laundry room going, we wanted to share a few other more feminine laundry spaces as pink is definitely back in terms of tile choices and wallpaper – and it seems quite popular for laundry spaces these days a well. Look at that pink cheetah wallpaper!!

We find so many of our clients are looking for an updated and fresh room that serves as a smart and functional space for doing laundry. From double washers and dryers to built-in drying racks and sliding drawer flat lay racks (dreamy!), these rooms hit the mark in both design and performance. Some are even adding a work space in the laundry room and why not – if the room allows, it’s a good place to add a desk and computer for a quiet home office.

It wouldn’t be a post about laundry rooms without talking about our pups. The laundry room has become the perfect spot to add in dog baths and/or dog sleeping areas. It’s an excuse to have fun and get creative with the space from large industrial tubs to cool built in dog beds.

Light, bright and airy laundry rooms are quite popular – and from my own experience of doing laundry in a dungeon, I live for these beautiful, serene rooms — maybe I wouldn’t mind doing laundry so much if I could do it in one of these spaces!

Last but not least are those who go bold and colorful – whether its using wallpaper or a pattern tile, these laundry rooms certainly make it a bright and cheery place for doing a no fun chore like laundry!

So many options, and such great inspiration for your future dream laundry room!

We are seeing concepts that are customized specifically to the needs and interests of each client – whether your style is traditional, modern or somewhere in between, there’s a pantry design for you. We’re going to share some of our favorite concepts that we’ve either helped create, or have been inspired by, and if we help give you some ideas for your dream Butler’s Pantry, all the better.

You are able to get creative with tile selections in the pantry as well – bringing in pattern, color and/or texture based on the materials in the kitchen. Some are choosing to go a little bit more bold in the pantry as it’s being seen as another space to do something a little different than you would in your kitchen space.

Ladder Ladder on the Wall: Sliding ladders that swoop around the entire space are ingenous and a great way to use the full height of cabinetry for storage with easy access no matter what your height is. We have seen metal ladders for a streamlined look or wood ladders to warm the space – either way they are a great way to reach anything and everything and add a cool design element at the same time.

Wine Not? No need for a wine cellar in the lower level, walk no further than from the kitchen into your pantry for your wine storage needs. From full on wine cellars to smaller but substantial wine refigeration systems, the pantry is being used in place of or in addition to an official wine cellar.

Secret Hideaway: Today’s pantry really helps you de-clutter your kitchen. Whether you are an avid home cook in need or organization for all your gourmet ingredients, or just don’t want your basic appliance out on your kitchen counters – the Butler’s pantry is the place to go. Larger coffee stations are being placed in the pantry along with your mix master, toaster and smaller drink refrigerators for waters and sodas, not to mention your cook book collection, special dishes and/or glassware, and so much more; designers are having fun staging these spaces utilizing all that normally takes up space in the kitchen itself.

Command Central: 2020 was the year of being at home, and families were all fighting for space to do homework, participate in conference calls, or just have some peace and quiet. Utilizing the Butler’s pantry as a work/study from home space is a great option as it is typically closed off behind a door of some sort giving family members privacy to focus on work or studies.

Double Duty: Loving the laundry/pantry combo! Practial yet with a twist of fun – bright colored cabinets with patterened floor tiles – a great place to mix it up and get a little more bold with your choices.

Lastly, these are just a few that wowed us for their fanciful beauty…. whatever your needs are, there’s a Butler’s Pantry for you – and if you don’t have the room to create a full extra room, builders can get really creative to build a custom pantry closet for you that can meet your needs. Happy Pantrying!

When Sharon Kevil, owner of Forti Goods in Milwaukee, WI called to ask about our ability to make custom tile designs of a historic nature, we didn’t know we’d eventually help furnish tile for all 17 bathrooms of the newly opened Dubbel Dutch Hotel.   A rich history encompasses the hotel, and in taking the 120 year old building into the present the new owners kept the buildings original wood floors, fireplaces, secret doors and more – but also created an updated vibe to the interiors of each and every room.  Sharon was tapped to work on the interior design for the hotel as well as design furniture pieces for each room and we were lucky enough for her to think of us when it came to the tile.

Named the Dubbel Dutch Hotel to play off the fact that the original building served as a double house for a bachelor and his brother and family.  It literally housed two families in two attached residences and as a result, has some unique components that still exist in the new hotel – including two entry ways, two staircases, and multiple rooms on “each side” of the building. 

We were tasked with helping bring Kevil’s custom tile design to life; each of the 17 bathroom floors of the hotel have a hand-made mosaic as part of the floors design.   Using a small white hexagon ceramic mosaic as the base, combined with a matte black hexagon pattern, the bathrooms are in keeping with the hisotric nature of the building but the black pattern brings a modern, updated feel to the rooms.

The two public restrooms carry the same idea on their floors – just in a larger scale – we love it! A traditional wainscot covers the public bathroom walls also in keeping with historical nature of the building.

Sharon also made tile selections for all the bathroom shower and tub walls and fixtures that felt updated but at the same time totally fit with the historic feel of the hotel.  Each bathroom is white with black accents.  Shower and bath walls are 2×4 “brick joint” white subway with a grey grout which gives it a very updated feel – the matte black fixtures are the perfect way to complete the updated look. 

The hotel has all sorts of beautiful updates in combination with original components.  One of our favorite things (besides all the tile we did!) is this beautiful hand painted wall design in the bar in gold leaf and entry way areas.   The original woodwork in the bar and the hotel lobby area is absolutely stunning.  

The hotel rooms at the Dubbel Dutch are warm and inviting – light and bright with beautiful rugs, comfy beds with great linens, unique furniture, along with some of the original character from so many years ago.

Commercial Projects like this are equally as fun for us as residential ones – especially when they involve cool spaces with historical significance.   We are so thankful to Sharon Kevil from Forti Goods, and Andy Braazt of Braatz Building Construction for this opportunity.   For more information and to book a room at the Dubbel Dutch Hotel, go to their website at www.thedubbeldutch.com.

Brass and Silver metal inlays give a lot of WOW factor wherever you decide to place them. Inlayed in natural stones, cements, terracotta and even wood – you just cannot go wrong. Let’s explore the world of metal inlay tile and how they can glam up just about anywhere! While it sounds really bold, it can also be a really soft, quiet way to dress up a wall or floor.

Probably the most common way you’ll see metalics used is in natural stone mosaics – so think marvelous marble. Used in kitchen backsplash features, vanity walls, bar areas and even full shower walls – the metal is laid in between or around the marble to create an absolutely beautiful effect. People often think that it’s marble tile and grouted in a gold metalic grout – but it is not – it’s brass inlay.

Polished and brushed chrome are also being used in the same ways often seen with glass and natural stone. When brushed chrome is inlaid it gives a softer feel, polished a more modern feel.

Another way we are seeing the use of brass is in cement and also terracotta tiles in various sizes from 4x4s to 4x8s. Such a fun way to incorporate a pop of shine and glitz to any room – and you can do it in a subtle way that will not date the room 20 years from now.

The third and probably our personal favorite is inlaid into wood. I mean, it couldn’t be more stunning! Set within a French Engineered Hardwood from our specialty Tabarka Line, this flooring is the perfect grand entry way, hallway, living room or study. It’s so unique and adds the perfect touch of luxury wherever it goes.

In this day and age where what goes into our homes is mass produced, expected quickly and can readily be gotten anywhere, the idea of craftsmanship has been somewhat forgotten — and in its place are items that function well, but are void of special meaning or character.  The same — in some instances — can be said of tile. Because of tiles functional nature, many fail to go one step beyond and look for beauty and originality in something that needs practicality. 

When you invite handmade tile into your living space, you have the perfect opportunity to bring a legacy of beautiful art pieces that blend functionality and a link between the homeowner and the individual artisian tile makers. Imagine using a piece of your grandmothers lace hankerchief given to you on your wedding day, or your favorite flower in your backyard, to create a fireplace surround or kitchen backsplash in any color you want – that’s just how customized you can get! We thought it would be fun to look at some of the custom tile lines we carry at Bella Tile to help encourage both our customers and interior designers to go beyond the typical when working on a project.

Tabarka: Influenced by the tiles from Old World Paris, the Mediterranean, Africa and the Baltic and Blakan Regions, this is one of our most popular lines for handmade looks. Tabarka specializes in handmade tiles in a variety of shapes and sizes, with Deco Patterns and color combinations that are the perfect match when a client or designer is looking for “old world rustic” tile with a twist. Their tiles can come distressed or a bit more finished depending on the look of antiquity that is needed, and are completely customizable to the colors of your choice.  It is our go-to for that forever tile – one that looks old yet fresh and updated at the same time.

Mediterra Tile: This wonderful company has drawn its Old World inspiration from the Mediterranean region and has blended it beautifully with a forward feel giving their tile the ability to transend beyond fads to classics.  Mediterra Tile has the most beautiful basic field tile as well as Moroccan shapes and patterns, and the variation in colors and crackles make simplicity spectacular!!  This little company makes their customers part of the artistic process- decision making and ultimately the finished product (tile) is a culmination of the artists and the customer.

Kibak Tile: We love this little Tile Company that consists of three generations of Kibak women. With the obvious inspirations of Denmark and simplicity in design, these one-of-a-kind handmade and colored terracotta tiles reflect our client’s vision and colorways to create a timeless, but fresh feel in any room.  They limit the tile sizes to 6×6” and 8×8” squares, but offer the most exquisite color palette and a list of patterns to choose from.  Kibak is a wonderful tile for a modern, updated, but obviously special in it’s craftsmanship and saturated colors.

Syzygy Tile: At Syzygy there are over twenty artisans who help produce their line of handmade Arts and Crafts tile- hand cut and hand glazed, they have the most beautiful dimensional and shaped tile that is reflective of their home state of Arizona.  Their look has an earthy, rustic elegance and is perfect for Fireplaces, Backsplashes and anywhere that calls for unique tile with an organic feel.

Terra Domus: This local Wisconsin tile maker takes items from nature – leaves, flowers, corn husks (!!) etc as well as any type of cloth material — and presses them into the tile for amazing textured and colored patterns. This allows for sentimental and meaningful possessions that can live on forever in her creations.

Lead times are longer with custom tile so it must be well planned out. From start to finish, expect lead times to be anywhere from 6-10 weeks out. The process is time consuming and the artistry can’t be rushed.  Also, you have to be okay with the perfectly imperfect. The true beauty of handmade tile is that it looks handmade- undulations and color variations, as well as uneven brush strokes and off set patterns all add to the sought after beauty of  handmade.  You must embrace all of these things and celebrate the fact that you waited patiently for true pieces of art and craftsmanship!!

If you are building a custom home or remodeling your current home in Wilmette, IL, Delafield, WI or Lake Geneva, WI, you should visit our showroom in the area.  Our showrooms are filled with marble, ceramic, porcelain, terracotta and cement tiles for uses on floors, walls, backsplashes, fireplace surrounds and more.

We want our clients to make tile and wallpaper selections they love – not because “it’s the right thing to do” or “it’s safe”.  During a time where it feels like things are out of control and many are telling us what to do and what not to do…..we wanted to talk about you and making you happy – think of it like taking back a bit of control- even if it’s inside your home and a simple statement of color. 

Time after time, customers come in the showroom, look longingly at the colorful and patterned display tiles and say “I love it, but I can’t….” — it’s too bright, too bold, my friends say I shouldn’t, what if I want to sell my house and the new buyers don’t like it?!? And our personal favorite — I love it today, but what if I don’t love it 15 years from now???   We say — embrace color, texture, patterns and make selections that speak to you and not your subconscious. 

The options are bountiful – let’s start with color.  The 2020 Pantone color of the year is Classic Blue — bright and bold, a little moody, but very impactful; we have seen a large influx in shades of blue tile.  Along with Classic Blue, we have seen beautiful natural greens, shades of pinks, and deep reds that even in a small amount, change a room’s whole demeanor.   It’s a breath of fresh air to see a kitchen backsplash that expresses the homeowner’s personality – a colorful statement that brings joy every day. Think about a Powder Room that welcomes family and guests alike with a colorful surprise and a peek of whimsy or a strong, bold statement.

If making a strong color statement in your Master Bath makes you squirm but you’d love something beyond grey, white or beige, think about introducing what we like to call “hidden treasures”.  Doing a built in Niche or feature wall that only you can see when in the shower itself brings a personal statement in your shower and can make that space feel much more individualized to you.  One of our favorite places to tile in color is in the master water closet- an unexpected and fun way to show your “true colors”!   Wallpapering the inside of your bathroom or bedroom closet, just for your own enjoyment is another way to add a more personalized feel to your spaces.

Your fireplace surround is another great place to “express yourself”.  Colorfully printed, encaustic cement tile makes a contained statement in a small surround, or a full surround done in a dimensional tile that is bold and gorgeous.  Bringing color to an area like the fireplace will give you a way to shine within the perimeters of a defined space, and it can change the feeling in your entire living space with a subtle nod or a bigger “shout”.

One more super easy place to bring in a more specific and personalized tile is the laundry room.   It’s truly the place where our clients who want color and or pattern will place it, because it’s a space typically used by no one else but them.  What could be better than making laundry time bright, cheerful and filled with your favorite pattern or shapes?!?  We love the idea of shapes such as hexagons, squares and bricks on the floor with fun penny backsplashes and colorful, printed wallpapers in a room that will exude joy!

Our goal is not to give you hard and fast rules on tile, but to get you to think outside the box and make your space as happy and representative of who you and your family truly are.  Be creative, do things that make you smile and love the space that you’re in. If there’s one take away from this year, be true to who you are and embrace it big time – be happy!
