We love tiling bathrooms but sometimes tiling a whole bathroom can be expensive and not wholly necessary. Whenever possible, we use tiles cleverly in wet areas, as needed and leave the rest of the room painted. It looks sleek and works especially well in larger bathrooms. However, in some cases, such as smaller bathrooms or wetrooms, this isn't so easy to achieve.
In smaller bathrooms where we don't want to tile everything the same but when we don't want to create stand-out feature walls either, we try to create variety by using smaller tiles (mosaics, subway tiles or linear strip mosaics), or the same tile colour/finish but in a different size.
For example, we might tile everything in 600x600mm tiles but for a section of a wall in linear strip tiles in a matching colour. Or we tile everything in 300x600mm except that we tile the floor in mosaic tiles. The possibilities are endless. It's an easy way to add interest to a design while still keeping it simple and affordable.

Claudio Silvestrin’s Design – I FRAMMENTI tiles – claim to be the smallest mosaic in the world. (5x5x5mm)
The eight colours of the I FRAMMENTI line blend one into another and explore the relation between neutrals through small variations of tone that modulate from white to black.
The grout is a crucial part of the surfaces installed with I FRAMMENTI. The same item paired with different grout lead to surprisingly different surfaces.
About Claudio Silvestrin:
Born in 1954, Claudio Silvestrin was educated in Milan by A.G. Fronzoni and studied at the Architectural Association in London , where he lives and work. Integrity, clarity of purpose and an emphatic attention to detail are the key features of Silvestrin’s architecture: it is austere, but not extreme, contemporary yet timeless, calming but not ascetic, strong but not intimidating, elegant without being ostentatious. Through his architecture, Silvestrin lays the foundations for a new way of thinking and seeing.
