The double-decker’s eyes are large windows that offer panoramic city views. The four-person family here wanted a funky, luxuriously flavored home. The interior of the luxury sense is caused by subtle brass details. The choice of this metal was inspired by the bronze roofs visible through the windows. All-day sunbathing into the apartment allows the bronze surfaces to sound different colors and create a different mood each time. The large, black stone panels that cover the wall contrast with the brass and help it even more reveal. Continue Reading
Just like its namesake in the Aegean Sea, the new Santorini tile from The Baked Tile Company offers stunning looks and timeless charm.
Named Santorini Shadow, the tile is suitable for use on both walls and floors and while it might look like it’s crafted from age-worn clay, it’s actually made from modern porcelain, making it incredibly versatile and easy to maintain.
What’s more, it boasts a repeating circular geometric pattern laid in a mosaic style, which not only brings a dynamic sense of movement to any room but offers refined elegance too.
Available in soothing shades of ivory and shadow grey, the 20cm x 20cm tile is a subtle tile that transcends trends.
Lesley Taylor, Interior Designer and Founder of The Baked Tile Company, said: “Santorini Shadow looks as though it’s been plucked directly from a traditional Grecian restaurant but this modern beauty is actually incredibly versatile and hardwearing.
“It’s an excellent choice for both walls and floors, seamlessly fitting into bathrooms, kitchens, or as a standout feature wall. Plus, its beautiful neutral palette ensures compatibility with a variety of materials such as wood, stone, and woven finishes, granting endless design possibilities.”
As well as walls and floors, Santorini Shadow is ideal for use on fireplace surrounds and outdoor walls. It is also compatible with underfloor heating.
Lesley added: “Santorini Shadow is a beautiful tile that combines the charm of traditional Mediterranean craftsmanship with modern manufacturing methods to create a versatile piece that can be used throughout the entire home.”
