The Versatile wall puzzle tiles will definitely make a unique design statement sure to ‘wow’ your visitors. These tiles can be put together in many different ways, to create a unique geometric pattern to suit your space. I am especially admiring the idea of decorating inside wall trimming or framing with these tiles in a color closely matching the wall for an understated but super stylish effect.

Robert and Cortney Novogratz and their seven children have made stylish family life hip again in the lexicon of pop culture.
The Novogratz have built a signature design brand for themselves, with reach across the globe, creating fabulous, luxe and inspired residential projects, rebuilding entire city blocks in Manhattan, turning condemned buildings into some of the most striking homes in the city. “Houses full of fabulous design”—Emirates Home Magazine.
For more than two decades Bob and Cortney have been designing, traveling and on the constant hunt for collecting new pieces, refurbishing vintage and creating original furniture and home goods when they couldn’t find the right look in the market place. The natural progression was to launch their own home goods line. The collection retains the integrity and recognizable look of the Novogratz luxe aesthetic and seemlessly marries modern and vintage and high and low priced decor. Novogratz™ launching summer 2011.

The collection is named Dialoghi and it is this ‘dialogue’ between the warm colors of wood and stone and the brightness of glass and metal that give these tiles that special quality.

May 2011 sees the launch of Louise Body’s striking new ‘Paper Tiles’ collection. These 7 decorative tile designs represent a temporary departure from Louise’s signature motifs and the conclusion of a creative process started by her commission to design the restroom foyer area at Decorex 2010. Her ‘Decorex Loos’ wallpaper panels featured decorative Victorian tiles and it was a subject that Louise was keen to explore further.

Looking for something slightly different from the traditional floor covering and wallpaper for those empty surfaces in your home? Take a gander at the UonUon collection of stylish and colorful contemporary porcelain tiles, which are made to emulate the grainy wood floorboards. Designed by the Italian firm 14Oraitaliana, the tiles are available in 14 vibrant colors—which include pastel pink, wild green and blue, and classic black and white—and they are suitable for use on walls and floors. I’m especially captivated by the alternating primary colors of reds, blues, and yellows, which bring to mind the striking painted grids by Piet Mondrian.

Get the dazzle and sheen of solid metal-but the high-performance characteristics of glass with the mirrored tiles from Nemo Tile. This line of glass tiles now comes electroplated with a coat of stainless steel in myriad shades and surface textures. The mirrored finish is an ideal solution for restaurants, nightclubs, and other applications where a reflective surface is desired, but in customizable formats; unlike tempered glass, these tiles can be cut to any size or shape-from intricate mosaics to modules up to 24 inches square-as well as varying thickness for a dimensional effect.
