Just like styling different sizes and shapes of pillows on a couch, layering tile trim and profiles in your space can help tie an entire design together for a custom, well-appointed look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Customizing Your Space<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re sharing our best practices for layering tile to show you how you can take your space to the next level. The look below incorporates a combination of trim pieces and mosaics to transform a simple picture frame into an exquisite focal point.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"A<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Since this bathroom uses the Firenze Carrara<\/a> marble collection throughout, the untrained eye may see it as quite simple. Look carefully at the transitions, and see if you can identify how many trim pieces are actually used to accomplish this sophisticated design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n

Incorporating different shapes and sizes from the same tile collection can carry this elevated look through to other areas of the room, such as the backsplash, half wall and<\/g> shower (photo top left). By sourcing all of the pieces of a collection from the same stone quarry, each piece complements the others for stunning variation that isn’t overbearing. If you have a focal point, repeat the same design element in other areas, like a shower niche (photo top right).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Plan<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Thoughtful Transitioning<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It’s important to think about how each part of your space will work together to form a unified environment. Utilizing trim pieces between different materials, sizes, shapes and<\/g> textures of tile can create the perfect transition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Dimensional tile can create dramatic depth and texture, but it can also leave an uneven edge when paired with other selections (top left photo). Incorporating transitional trim pieces will offer a seamless solution from one style to the next. Similarly, they can be used on the floor to separate different areas within a space \u2013 the top right photo displays a subtle transition, while the photo below incorporates durable curb pieces<\/a> for a more prominent separation from shower to floor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For tiles that vary in size, double up somersets and run them vertically for the greatest impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using transitions is also the perfect way to emphasize an accent tile in your design. In the photo below, layered trim pieces instantly elevate the Brushed Bronze with Glass Metal Mosaic<\/a> backsplash, while coordinating beautifully with the surrounding ceramic subway tile<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each trim piece has its own unique characteristics that make it perfect for specific uses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coordinating Finishes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Pictured below is an example of how trim and profile pieces can provide an opportunity to coordinate with fixtures. In cases where there’s no need for a transition or storage solution, metal profiles<\/a> can be used in between tiles as a unique accent that can coordinate with other design elements, such as faucets or lighting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Layering trim and profile pieces can make every tile design better by adding dimension and interest. It shows<\/g> that the design has been thoughtfully curated and has the finishing touches that elevate the space from basic to beautiful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
