Spanish Valencia Tile with Brushed Navy
Posted by William Buyok on
Our Spanish Field tiles are designed to coordinate with our Spanish decos. Here, our Brushed Navy field tiles nicely complement the Spanish Valencia 4"x4" and 3"x6".

Tiles with the same or similar pattern work well together. For a bold contrast, border the tiled area with a brightly...
