“Beige is a colour that just doesn’t try hard enough in life.” So says my son Noah who clearly has a strong opinion about how to decorate. I love that he’s interested in how to make a visual statement, and I understand why he might feel the need to avoid neutrals, but is he right? I love him to pieces, but I don’t think so.

Take the latest collection of mosaic tiles from New Ravenna. The collection may be shades of grey {not beige}, but it clearly proves that neutral is anything but boring.

Texture. Pattern. Dimension. Detail. Contrast. Everything you need to take a bathroom {or backsplash, for that matter} from boring to breathtaking. This latest collection only underscores my belief that any product designed by an artist will have soul. Sara Baldwin’s latest artistry comes alive with her use of jewel glass and marble in mosaics and water-jet cut patterns that are at once modern and a reinvention of the best of tile design history over the ages.

Take for example “Kelp Forest,” an intricate, water-jet mosaic in glass that gestures at Art Deco with its undulating waves of cool perfection.

Even a classic hexagon is brought to life with the dimension and natural variation in this gorgeous grey stone.

New Ravenna inspires with endless options on how to elevate your next bathroom design to an unparalleled level of luxury and artistic sophistication. From tile carpets to feature walls to statement floors and delicate insets, the opportunity to create designs with delicious details is limitless. I hope you are as inspired as I am!
