A few small hand-painted dots used randomly to create subtle interest that doesn't clash with the granite or tile. In this design, Spanish Teruel 1.5" x 1.5" Dots were used as accents for the Yucatan Chamois 4" x 4" field tile laid on-point. The 4"x4" bull-nosed tile were cut for the top trim, further reducing costs by avoiding more-costly trims. Notice how the wall outlets don't mess up the decorative tile insets?

For a bold contrast, we suggest bordering the tiled area with a brightly colored quarter round or liner tile, such as our Yucatan Ceramic Field Tile collection....
