When our Design Tiles consultant Daniel first stepped into this Bellevue Hill bathroom project, he knew the space called for something special. The homeowners were looking for a design that would stand the test of time while incorporating modern elements – a delicate balance that came to life through the perfect combination of herringbone floor tiles and timeless Bianco Carrara walls.

The Perfect Herringbone Floor Pattern

The standout feature of this elegant bathroom transformation is undoubtedly the stunning herringbone floor pattern. Created using our Botanical Grey Honed tiles (75x300mm), the herringbone layout adds a dynamic element that draws the eye through the space. “Herringbone patterns have this incredible ability to make a space feel both classic and contemporary,” explains Daniel. “The key is in the tile selection and execution.”

What makes these herringbone tiles particularly special is their practical benefits. Part of our Soft Stone Series, these modern interpretations of natural stone feature:

A specially engineered matt finish with P4 slip rating for wet areas
Distinctive double polishing process for a delicately smooth texture
Rectified edges for precise herringbone installation
No sealing or special maintenance required
Versatility for both interior and exterior applications

Paloma House

Redefining Elegance with a Modern Touch

Design Tiles supporting Cub Group

Every home has a story, and Paloma House is no exception. What began as a cozy 1940s shack in a quiet cul-de-sac in Peakhurst has been beautifully transformed into a modern family home, full of character and warmth. Design Tiles is thrilled to have played a part in this journey, working alongside Cub Group, specialists in custom residential homes, renovations, and commercial fit-outs, to bring this dream to life.

Setting the Vision: From Concept to Completion

The creative process began with mood boards, capturing the essence of what this home could become—a blend of elegance and functionality. These visual inspirations were the starting point that helped shape the final selection of materials and finishes. Design Tiles curated a collection that balanced the homeowners’ aesthetic aspirations with the practical needs of a family home.

Kitchen Masterpiece: Arabescato Viola and Bamboo Flute Mosaic

A standout feature of Paloma House is the kitchen, where Arabescato Viola Megaslab porcelain panels (3200x1600x12mm) were chosen for the benchtop and splashback. Known for their luxurious Italian quality, these panels showcase a rich palette of deep purples with intricate white veining that instantly elevates the kitchen’s atmosphere. More than just beautiful, Arabescato Viola is highly durable, with properties that make it hygienic, easy to clean, and resistant to UV, frost, scratches, and heat—ideal for high-use areas.

For a unique contrast, the Mini Bamboo Utica Flute Mosaic was used to accent the kitchen island. With natural variations in color and texture, these bamboo-inspired flutes bring a warm, organic feel to the space. Bamboo flutes have become increasingly popular for their ability to add texture and a touch of nature indoors, making this mosaic the perfect complement to the striking Arabescato slabs.

Elegant Bathroom Retreats

In the bathroom, the Rice Natural series in 50x150mm and 150x150mm porcelain tiles was selected, offering a Japanese-inspired design with a glossy, irregular surface that resembles handmade tiles. Made in Italy, these tiles create a soothing, spa-like ambiance with an artisanal touch that feels both delicate and sophisticated. With edges designed for a seamless installation, they allow for unique patterns that add an extra layer of personalization.

For the floors, the Norrock porcelain Tile in Ivory was chosen. Inspired by Ceppo di Gre, this tile features a blend of pebble-like fragments that create depth and add timeless elegance. The neutral tones bring harmony to the bathroom, balancing out the brighter, reflective surfaces and creating a serene environment.

In the ensuite, the Antique Gloss Soft White Kit Kat Mosaic Finger Tile adds character and texture. These elongated, glossy tiles in soft white offer a refined take on the Kit Kat tile trend, creating sleek, linear visuals that make the space feel fresh and modern.

Inviting Outdoor Spaces: Classic Ivory Crazy Pave

For the outdoor and pool areas, Classic Ivory Crazy Pave was the natural choice. This beautiful, versatile stone features varied shapes and sizes, adding an organic and playful look to the outdoor space. Perfect for creating winding garden paths, defining a poolside area, or adding a focal point in a courtyard, the Ivory Crazy Pave’s flexibility in design brings a natural yet sophisticated charm to any exterior setting. Its warm tones blend seamlessly with the surrounding landscape, enhancing the home’s overall aesthetic.

From Vision to Reality

The transformation of Paloma House reflects the power of thoughtful design, quality materials, and skilled craftsmanship. With a collaborative approach and an eye for detail, Design Tiles has helped create a home that captures the essence of the homeowners’ vision—a modern, functional, and beautifully inviting space.

The Coastal Luxury Vision

Our Sans Souci clients didn’t just want a house; they wanted a home that exuded high-end coastal luxury. We’re talking a monochromatic scheme with oodles of natural textures that touch everything from the sleek bathrooms to the inviting outdoor spaces.

The Dynamic Duo: Moma Designs and Design Tiles

When Moma Designs approached us for this project, we knew we were in for a treat. Their knack for stunning interiors and our obsession with all things tile? It was like waves meeting the shore – a perfect, natural fit!

Tile Takeover: The Stars of the Show:

Now, let’s chat about the real stars of this build – our fantastic tile lineup. We’re not ashamed to admit we’re a little tile-crazy, and this project let us indulge that obsession. Check out our dream team:

Travertine Soft Stone 600X600mm: Main Tile for bathroom floors and walls
Travertine Chiaro Pixi Mosaic: Wall bling alert for bathroom feature walls!

From Functional to Fabulous: The Laundry Room

Remember when laundry rooms were just… blah? Not anymore! We jazzed up this space with our Frame Kali Chic tiles. It’s so chic, you might find yourself actually looking forward to laundry day. (Okay, maybe that’s a stretch, but you get the idea!)

Bathroom Bliss: Where Every Day is Spa Day:

Say hello to bathroom heaven! We decked out the walls with Travertine Chiaro Pixi Mosaic (pro tip: we suggested sealing these beauties for long-lasting luxe). And with Travertine Soft Stone on the floors, it’s like walking on clouds, but classier!

For the perfect finishing touch, we used Nood Co Mill Basin – Surface Mount basins in Mushroom and Olive. They’re not just sinks – they’re conversation pieces! To illuminate this dreamy space, we installed the sleek Caspian light and Cassius Light fixtures. Their subtle glow enhances the natural tones of the travertine and complements the unique basin colors, creating a harmonious and inviting atmosphere.

Outdoor Oasis: Bringing the Indoors Out

Who says style stops at the door? We took the party outside with Classic Travertine Tumbled French Pattern. It’s tough enough to handle the elements but pretty enough to make your outdoor furniture feel underdressed!

Making a Splash: Pool and Driveway Perfection

For the pool area, we went with Leyla Athens tiles, creating a serene oasis that’s perfect for those hot summer days. The driveway got the royal treatment with Travertine 100x100mm Cobble, ensuring a grand entrance every time.

Stepping Up: Stairway to Heaven

We used Standard Travertine Tumbled 406x610mm for the pool coping and stairs, with Classic Travertine Tumbled for the risers. It’s not just a staircase; it’s a work of art!

The Grand Finale: A Dream Home Realized

When we finally stood back to admire our handiwork, even we were blown away. From the laundry room that makes chores feel chic, to bathrooms that rival five-star hotels, to outdoor spaces that beg for garden parties – every corner tells a story of coastal luxury and smart design.

When it comes to tile choices for your home, you might wonder why mosaic tiles tend to come with a higher installation cost compared to large format tiles. Let’s break it down!

1⃣ Intricate Design

Mosaic tiles are known for their intricate designs and patterns. Each tiny piece is carefully placed to create a stunning visual effect. This meticulous work takes time and precision, which means higher labor costs.

2⃣ Precision and Expertise

Installing mosaic tiles requires the skills of a seasoned tile artisan. Ensuring that each piece lines up perfectly, especially around corners and edges, demands a high level of craftsmanship.

3⃣ Time-Consuming Process

Unlike large format tiles that cover a larger surface area in one go, mosaic tiles involve placing individual pieces. This process can be time-consuming, leading to more labor hours.

4⃣ Material Costs

Mosaic tiles often come in smaller pieces, which can be more expensive per square m2 than large format tiles. Plus, the intricate design might require special cuts or custom shapes, further increasing material costs.

5⃣ Attention to Detail

Mosaic installations demand meticulous attention to detail to ensure a flawless finish. This dedication to perfection contributes to the higher cost.

So, while mosaic tiles offer unique beauty and versatility, they do come with a higher price tag for installation. Keep these factors in mind when planning your next tile project!
