Let your design juices flow with decorative tile accents

Wall-to-wall and ceiling-to-floor tiling may be easy to wash and practical but it can also be so, so boring.  A great way to jazz up the design of your haven of peace is to add decorative tile accents.  Purpose made bull-nose or raised motif mural tiles are on display at your local tile emporium.  Typically as wide as a tile but only one or two inches high, these details are designed to complement the design of a specific range of tiles.  However there are no hard and fast rules and you should feel free to mix and match.

Only a couple of words of warning; try, somehow, to assemble a running yard or so of the tile and the decorative tile accent as this may give you a whole different perspective on the choice.  Also go for contrast rather that matching colors since tiling has a reputation for variability batch-to-batch.
