The installation of Tesselle Ipanema Cement Tile in Stacy’s kitchen is a brilliant study in high-contrast design. By pairing transitional cabinetry in a soft, smoky blue with a floor that features a rhythmic, mid-century inspired motif, the space achieves a sophisticated balance. The organic curves of the tile soften the clean, traditional lines of the kitchen, proving that bold patterns can feel perfectly at home in a timeless, functional setting.
What sets these tiles apart is the authentic terrazzo construction. Unlike standard printed tiles, Tesselle cement tiles feature a substantial color layer made of real terrazzo aggregate. This means the design isn't just on the surface—it is part of the tile itself, offering a depth of color and texture that creates a "high-end" feel impossible to replicate with digital prints.
Beyond the aesthetic appeal, this floor is designed for the realities of a busy kitchen. The natural properties of cement and stone provide inherent slip resistance, making it an ideal choice for "wet areas" near sinks and stoves. It is a rare combination where the flooring acts as the room's primary piece of art while providing the durability and safety required for the heart of the home.
