Backsplashes





L'EAU

bisazza
When our walls need waterproof protection, we are happy to oblige with a great variety of materials a multitude of combinations, endless colorways and a million styles, large tiles spelling modern simplicity, tiny mosaics stunning in their intricate patterns, massive slabs showing off their rich veining, sleek sheets of steel mimicking an industrial space; what we choose to sheath our back-splashes, always very clearly suggests what we want our homes to say.


CERAMIC TILES
free-hand Moroccan precision
JADHny
hand carved, hand cut, painstakingly set zellige;
ancestral Moroccan art
JADHny
absolutely minimal very dark and very light
white subway tiles, white on white on white
WOW! that will wake you up! did anyone see my toothbrush?

GLASS
 mini tiles for a warm mud-bath of glass
House Beautiful

large
very very large
very very dark

METAL
stainless steel everything; industrial wannabe
cut up in tiny little tiles, all the way up to the ceiling
an oeuvre d'art in all its graphic splendor

STONE
look closely, more stone on the bath mat
just one big, (well, almost) stunning, coordinating piece of stone

and for the very very VERY neat, no backsplash required
oh, wait.. can it... be one single piece of glass?
If it is, I am very impressed!


au revoir.
