We’re always looking for new materials to customize the look of the rooms we design. And lately, we’ve become enamored with the look of cement tile. Also known as encaustic cement tile, this hand made decorative tile is produced from cement, marble dust, and mineral pigments, then pressed by hydraulic machines and cured naturally. The end result is a finish that is often richer than a typical ceramic tile- plus, it takes less time to produce. The colors and patterns are limitless. In this gorgeous sunroom, designer Katie Ridder used a custom cement tile floor as the key graphic element in the room.
In this Florida Beach House, this pungent blue ceramic tile floor is all about color.
