ON-TREND SCALES Move over metro tiles and line a wall with fabulously funky Fish Scale designs. Also known as scallop, fun or mermaid tiles, this pleasing-to-the-eye shape is a Moroccan tile classic that's trending hard right now and offers a sophisticated alternative to metro/subway designs. Mermaids tiles are this year's unicorns (so they say) and Fish Scale tiles are how to take the trend to a far more grown-up level. Especially striking across a whole wall or in a shower room, make the surface pop in vivid shades of blue and green for an oceanic vibe that'll refresh and invigorate. If colour doesn't float your boat, just exchange the bold hues for neutral shades and use a dark grout to highlight the pattern. Alternatively, go to www.tiledesire.com there are more than 40 colours to choose and mix!! Photo Credits: http://iortz-photo.com/

Large walk in shower like an outdoor shower in a river with the honed pebble floor. The entry to the shower follows the same theme as the main entry using a barn style door. Choice of water controls by Rohl let the user switch from Rainhead to wall or hand held. Chris Veith

Victorian styled master bathroom with claw foot tub that is enhanced by a crystal chandelier. Wall sconces flank the oval mirror over the vanity. The blue colored walls only enhance the tile floor and white plumbing fixtures. The walls are lined with white wainscoting and the floor with marble tile.
