Herringbone and Greek Spiral Detail
Lisa Rachelle McDennon, principal of LRM Interior Design, loves how tile can be a major part of the design in a kitchen or bathroom.
“When most people think of tile, they think of large or small squares that get stuck on floors or walls,” says Lisa. “Tile can be so much more!”
There are several LRMID projects that have been accentuated with tile, especially on the backsplash areas of kitchen and bathrooms.“In the kitchen, think about how tiling the wall behind the oven and range can be both decorative and functional. Several times we have used shaped tiles to create a pattern, or patterned tiles to create a decorative wall,” says Lisa. “We’ve even used a specialty ceramic tile maker who can create full-scale replicas of fruit and vegetables in a single tile that can be mounted to the wall.”
In the bathroom, Lisa and her team love using a multitude of tile sizes for accents and backsplashes behind the sink faucets. Before they were available to buy, Lisa had a stonecutter cut small, elongated pieces of slate to install in a client’s bathroom. She also is fond of a herringbone pattern, and using tesserae tile to create an Italianate-style mosiac border in a client’s shower.
