When hired to design a kitchen or bath using tile, I almost always recommend something neutral that does not make a strong statement (keeping in mind that neutral does not equate with insipid!). I prefer to see tile, and the texture it brings to a room, as a background rather than a statement.
However, there are always exceptions!!!
I love this hand-painted line…
the colors
the motifs
the exuberance
the detail
the whimsy
Such fun to use in well-chosen design schemes.
