Project Pick of the Month - Cement Tile Bath
Cement Tiles are not just for floors! They can create a breathtaking focal point in any room, large or small, as shown in this magnificent Master Bath. Large patterned cement tiles draw the eyes to the beautiful tub area, frame the arched window, and add color and interest to the wall. Neutral colored mosaic tiles complement the cement tiles nicely and add an unexpected look.

Using cement tile on bath walls is not only beautiful, but smart as well. The tiles keep the walls from absorbing moisture, and they make clean up a snap. They create a look distinctly different than traditional ceramic tiles while offering extreme durability and versatility. For more cement tile projects, please visit our design ideas!

Design Idea - Cement Tile Rug
Use stunning cement tiles to incorporate a decorative element to a room, like the octagonal tile "rug" shown here. It's great for a space such as a bathroom, patio, or dining room because it eliminates the need for a fabric rug, but still draws your attention to the space and adds wonderful color and deisgn. This particular floor design helps tie in the adjoining bath area (shown above) by using the same patterned tiles.

Tile Tip
Before installing a tile mural, be sure to lay it out to ensure it will fit the space. Keep in mind that the tiles surrounding the mural are an integral part of the overall look, so choose wisely. Both the mural and the surrounding tiles should be installed at the same time to create a proper fit.
