Cuban Cement Tiles for a Manhattan Bath
Posted by William Buyok on
Designer Celia Reiss of Manhattan, NY-based Celia Reiss Interiors recently combined her love of cement tile with her design talent when she incorporated the two into her bathroom.
The 8" x 8" cement floor tiles used in this project are from our Cuban Heritage Design 140-2B 8 x 8 series. They incorporate the contemporary colors of Light Turquoise, Brown, and Caribbean Blue. Celia wisely chose not to use the border pattern for this design because the bathroom isn't big enough to accommodate both a bold border and an intricate pattern. The field pattern uses only Light Turquoise and Brown.
Notice how the floor tile wraps up to surround the bath. The tiles carry the pattern on vertical and horizontal surfaces, creating a sophisticated look. The bath tile is in perfect balance with the floor tile. The antiqued wood vanity with a marble top makes a rich but comfortable space.
Elaborate designs, bold colors, and prominent or double borders characterize Cuban Tile patterns. The Cuban Heritage cement tile patterns are from cement tile installations found in old homes or estates in Cuba.
