FABULOUS FLOORS

Floor tiles are great for high-traffic areas or rooms that endure humid condi tions, such as a bathroom or kitchen. An excellent way to create a sense of space is to use the same tiles as the floor all the way up the walls. Large-format tiles mean less grouting, and will also make the room feel larger and provide a more contemporary overall look.

Wow Design’s tile collections can be combined to create a contemporary decorative look that adds dimension to flat surfaces (www.wowdesigneu.com).
