The Home Decorator's Tile Bible by Morwenna Brett covers just about every area of tile use and design in its 256 pages. From floors, walls and ceilings to your front walkway, there are tiles and layout options to suit every taste.
Looking for that original pattern and texture to match your own unique personality or to create the right mood for a particular room? Just flip through this book, which is arranged in a convenient, very durable ring-binder style. Let curiosity be your guide.
The heart of this book's easy-to-use layout is the fact that it is organized by colour. About 800 photographs show the huge range of tile options, including stunning mosaics. From ceramic and terracotta to slate and glass, the variety of tile materials available today is astonishing.
The Home Decorator's Tile Bible (Firefly Books $29.95, hardcover) offers step-by-step instructions on how you can attain a range of effects, such as geometric floors, patterned walls and other motifs to match your rooms.
While a design professional or experienced pro would be proud to have this in their library, the book is also fashioned for the tenderfoot beginner to initiate their own do-it-yourself project.
Author Brett observes: "No longer a utilitarian surface, tiles can once again make a design statement in their own right, with luminous glass, glittering mosaics and delicious glazes set off by elegant stones and floor slates."
