10 Surfaces For A Classic Remake

1 INTERIOR MOTIF

The Picasso tiles by Cappuccino Ceramics are all about intricate patterns. They can be used on the wall or floor, livening up the space with their damask inspired shapes and lines. Use these tiles either as the backsplash or accent wall in the kitchen to break up the monotony of solid black and white surfaces. These glazed tiles are built to withstand the rigors of cooking.

Available at Hafary, Sg

2 BRING A HIGH SHINE

As trends gravitate towards darker palettes, the classic black and white kitchen now wears a new look. Let black surfaces dominate and leave white surfaces as accents. Wall tiles like the Pun tiles by Ascot Ceramiche are perfect for elevating the black and white kitchen. The glossy finish brings an elegant yet youthful vibe to the space.

Available at Rice, Sg

3 HEY HERRINGBONE

Patterns continue to charm homeowners. And why not do something new with classic marble? The Tele di Marmo series by Emil Ceramica offers marble in fresh formats including mosaic, strips, and herringbone. Consider introducing herringbone patterns for your backsplash. These jazz up the black and white combination with subtle zigzags. To best highlight the stone, keep wall cabinets to the minimum.
