Project Pick: Cement Tile Pattern Makes an Elegant Floor

The pattern of a cement tile floor adds unmatched beauty and elegance to a room, just like it did over a century ago. Using a cool blue color palette and five colors, this historical pattern creates a sophisticated look that isn't fussy. Keeping with tradition, the patterned field tiles are framed with a border to create a "tile rug design." The choice of cool colors paired with a bright red accent in the pattern make the formal design very comfortable but still easy to relax in.

The Roseton pattern, from our Mission Cement Tile line, comes in two standard colorways: Roseton A and Roseton B. The Roseton B in an 8"x8" format is used in this month's project pick.

When using an existing cement tile colorway, fill the area outside of the rug with solid colors used in the pattern. Make sure to use only colors from our Mission Solid Color Cement Tiles. You can also change the colors used on this pattern using any of the sixty colors found in the Mission color palette.

Tile Tip:

1. Decide on one or two patterns you like.
2. Order color chips or cement tile swatches from the same line as the pattern tiles.
3. Decide on a color palette. Consider one neutral color for backgrounds and a contrasting color for accents.
4. Create different virtual designs to decide which one you like best.
5. Order strike-off samples, to see your design on a few tiles before purchasing an entire order
