Bathroom
Gast Architects SaveEmail For a vintage or classic bathroom, a frame created out of contrast tile on the shower wall is a perfect focal point. A runner created out of mosaic floor tile can be done if you've got the budget, but if not, an alternate idea would be to skip the inside mosaic and change it out for field tile and leave the frame.
Many mosaic tiles come netted in roughly 12"x12" sheets for easy installation. A great trick is to order half the linear footage you need for a border and cut the sheets in two.
A wainscot look was created with two different size tiles separated by a mini brick Cararra decorative band. Above is white ceramic 4" x 4" tile and below is matching 3" x 6" tile. The band serves as the "chair rail" and frames the mirror to create a pretty focal point.
