We recently sold a home that had Saltillo tile in the kitchen and family room and were amazed at the differences of opinion on this terracotta tile. While it reminded some of days gone by, others were attracted to this rustic, warm flooring option in lieu of today’s widely utilized wood and stone or ceramic tile options. Design trends often come full circle and this one is no exception. Handmade terracotta tiles and encaustic cement tiles are back in a big way. Choices include hand-painted, traditional, monochromatic, geometric styles and more. Would you consider tiling your walls or floors with one of these?

 

Pantone chose Greenery as the 2017 Color of the Year. Being touted as a “trans-seasonal” color that can be paired with a variety of other colors to create on-trend interior spaces. Greenery can be interpreted subtly or paired with over-the-top pops of color. This yellow-green neutral can also be used on exteriors for a punch of color. It’s also possible to use greenery as nature intended it. Obviously, it’s easy to pull it into your landscaping, houseplants and arrangements.

How do you plan to incorporate Greenery into your home?
