Good Morning!
I can't believe how fast the time goes once we get to Spring here in MN.
I was selecting tile for a client last week so I grabbed some extra samples to give you an idea of the wealth of options existing out there...for those of you who never browse the tiles aisles at the big box home improvement stores.
All tiles shown are mosaics and come in 12x12 sheets. They can be applied as a field tile using full sheets or cut apart into strips and used as decorative accents. Using accents of the decorative tiles can help keep your cost down as multiple lineal feet are produced from one sheet. It depends on the look you want and your budget.
This is a travertine(stone), marble, and glass mosaic. $10-$11 each sheet. Love this! This is great alone or as a decorative element! I am pairing this as a decorative 5" strip with a travertine field tile in a shower stall!
All glass in grey tones.
A bit more contemporary for you contemporary buffs! $10-$11 each sheet. I would use this as a field tile in a kitchen with some crisp white cabinets. If you think this is too busy, then again cut it and use it in strips. A simple white ceramic subway tile would look great with this.
This one looks like a metallic glass mosaic. In truth, it is a metallic resin. This is a nice looking tile for an inexpensive price point. $5 each sheet. It can be tricky to install though. Particularly if you use it as a decorative accent, as it is thin and most tiles are double the thickness, so it will have to be built out to the thickness of the field tile. Make sure you have an experienced installer.
All glass again. This one has some textured pieces as well as smooth glass. A little extra element. I would also use this as a field tile. The individual tiles are 1x2" so a decent size. $13 each sheet. I love the brown tones in this one.
These are just a few examples of the millions of tiles out there. There is one in pretty much every color of the rainbow. If you can't find what you are looking for, we area always glad to help.
