How Essentials Can Get You Started on Your Tile Design Journey
With so much variety available in tile shapes, materials, and finishes, one of the most common questions we get asked is “How do I get started?” One of the best first steps on your tile design journey is the Maison Surface Essentials tile collection https://maisonsurface.com/explore-our-tiles-3/magazines/essentials/) , which has been specially curated to help with tile selection. Essentials is hand-selected from across our diverse pattern offerings—plus we always have it in-stock and ready for any project. It’s a collection of beautiful basics: Timeless white marble accentuates each tile pattern, from intricate to understated, with stunning blue quartz as an accent. Essentials is made up of 18 different patterns within 9 collections, offering a wide variety of piece sizes and pattern repeat options that are universally complimentary. Each pattern can speak for itself, whether used in mosaics, accent walls, or other applications. Let’s explore the wide range of design styles the collection enables you to create.
FOUR WAYS TO GET STARTED WITH AN ESSENTIALS TILE DESIGN
As a foundational collection within Maison’s repertoire, Essentials can be used for a practically infinite number of tile applications within any space in a home or office. But since we’re on the topic of getting started, here are four creative recommendations from our tile design team:
ADD VISUAL DRAMA WITH DIMENSIONAL TILE
aison has pioneered the technique of mixing marble depth, which means Essentials can offer exceptional range not only in style but also scale. An accent wall, for example, is an absolutely perfect opportunity to incorporate dimensional marble. Without adding a secondary color to the pattern, our dimensional Meander & Carre tiles transform over the course of the day. The changing light casts shadows over the beautiful Blanc marble base—a clever way of adding visual drama without the dramatics.
CREATE CLASSIC PATTERNS WITH PARQUET TILE
Parquet wood floors originated in 17th century, and our Parquet pattern brings a timeless, classic look to any medium- or large-scale installation. The most unique aspect of our Parquet is how the pattern, by weaving and overlapping, appears to change depending on which element you focus on. This is a perfect pattern to lay square in the center of a room or install on a 45-degree grid to add more visual interest.
Explore the Range of Contemporary Tile
Simple geometries are universal—and Trapeze from Essentials playfully explores what shapes can be made with other shapes. Trapezoids and hidden diamonds create triangles and hexagons with contemporary style. A seemingly complicated pattern can be made universally applicable by the selecting Blanc Marble in honed or polished finish.
