Tile has become a popular way to add design flair to a space. This durable and long-lasting material is also a good investment. Marsha Epstein, of Artistic Tile in New York City, discusses the latest looks in tile and why some of the classic looks have become perennial favorites. Epstein says that tile is so popular today because of our ability to travel across the world and see the different types used overseas. Today, tile is used everywhere from the kitchen to the entranceway.
Tile is also a style maker around the fireplace.
Many people are installing eye-catching designs and mixing it with wood and other materials. According to Epstein, the favorite place to use tile is in the bathroom. Specialty relief tile is a good way to add a three-dimensional effect on a mirror surround. Cutting edge options in tile include metal tile made of bronze, brass or nickel embossed with different details, glass tile and mosiacs. 79 Fifth Ave.
