bathroom inspiration: decorative tile


our bathroom at home is a tiny one with wonky grey tiles that never look clean. my dream is to one day own a bathroom with gleaming tiles from heath in shades of sea-green. in the meantime i’ll just have to admire this gorgeous tile bathroom designed by brooklyn interior designer, adrienne labelle (you can check out adrienne’s home right here). i love the playful flower design of the tiles (which is actually a pattern from bisazza)- it has such a cheerful feel to it. this certainly beats getting out of the shower to a sea of dingy grey tiles. click here to see more of bisazza’s tile designs and here to see more adrienne’s work. [thanks adrienne, and thanks to saul metnick for the photos]

I love these colors together, and the tile pattern is gorgeous! [I would have opted for a mirror with a simpler shape, though.]

covet, covet, covet!!!! *i grew up with a pink and green bathroom, and i assure you it was NOTHING like this.

I think I would have gone with a plainer mirror, but I love the tile work. We have a green bathroom and a blue one, but they are not at all that cool!

The tile work is beautiful. I’d just be worried about how this bathroom would make me feel after a long night of drinking.

These are SO beautiful. I share your fantasy, big time!

Hmm. I like the purple areas, but not the green. It’s too much for me — I like to relax in my bath/shower, and I feel like this would overstimulate. But that’s just me!

They’re very beautiful, but I would worry about either getting tired of them after a while or about difficulting reselling the house when moving.

Oh I just love those tiles!! Bizazza always has the most creative solutions. LOVE THIS. So happy!

I’m soooo not liking this one; it feels like way too much details and curbs and colors and patterns; kinda like a psychedelic prison bathroom. I prefer a more neutral bathroom, especially on difficult monday mornings.

Anyway, that was just my own opinion, and my friends say I have an awful taste, so nobody worries about me not liking it !

wow, I love this. although i have to say they make me feel a little dizzy from looking at them!

January 12th, 2009 - 1:23 pm

I’d call this style classy playfulness, managing bright colors and fun shapes while still looking like it was made for adult taste. Nice!

Wow. I HATE this. Cool idea, but maybe in a smaller dose, and no wonky-circus-mirror, please.

Wow, I love this. It makes the room really special. I would like to have a house that has as much style as this bathroom!

I’m totally inspired by this design! Love the colours, tile work and overall impact.

I think it’s overdone, althought I like parts of it (the pink tiles and the sink).

January 12th, 2009 - 4:09 pm

Ohhhhh, what a look! awesome! The bathroom design looks too cool! I really love it.

i think the mirror is a detail well thought out in the total design. it shows commitment and guts to a design concept. Can you share more pictures?

I am sorry, it is too much for me, too much of everything!

Wow, that’s mid-centurytastic! I love it, but I think it’s a little too loud for my own house.

I’m a fan of trim and I would go with white with an aqua trim. I would also use the accessories in the bathroom to add additional color. I designed my bathroom (and my whole house!) with the help of a company called Taylor Morrison (http://dreambig.taylormorrison.com/?utm_source=bc) and I really recommend them to anyone who is looking to buy a home, and if you request information from their website you’ll be entered into a contest to win a dream vacation. Oh, and I think that a good alternative to starchy white would be an eggshell tinted blue.

both the concept and design are really great. i too would have gone with a simpler mirror. for such a busy pattern, something needs to let the eye breathe.

this is something thing to watch out for. bathroom seems to be more luxurious that any other rooms. for the ambiance i rate the bathroom 5 out of 5

The position of mirror, hanging bar and the color of tiles made the kitchen look more spacious and beautiful.

I absolutely LOVE what you did with this. Mine looks a bit like this too! But yours is definitely better. I visited http://www.services4home.com to find local contractors in your area and they do more than just bathrooms. They do every type of service you could need in a home! They’re working on my girl friend’s kitchen right now. Well I love what you did and think this is marvelous!!!!!
