By Tina Skinner
In the 11th century, the Spanish mastered the art of tile design. Since then, the decorating world has held Spanish artisans in high esteem because of their ability to use tile to achieve the utmost sophistication in design. Tina Skinner, with the Association of Ceramic Tile Manufacturers of Spain, brings this sophistication overseas and under book cover to help you bring it to your own home.
From retro to modern, simple to intricate, square inch to square foot, this book shows uses for tile a homeowner never knew possible. The introduction, “Why Tile?” describes the advantages of incorporating tile into one’s living space. The other nine sections portray tile use in various sections of the house. These include bathrooms, kitchens/bars, dining areas, living rooms, fireplaces, bedrooms, foyers/halls/stairwells, floors, and outdoors.
Tile Style for the Home lets the tiles do the talking. Photo-filled pages showcase tiles in well-designed rooms. Skinner includes a one-sentence caption with each photo describing the effect and atmosphere created by the depicted ceramic. These beautiful images are sure to spark ideas and inspire homeowners to cement ceramic sophistication into the heart of their homes.
