Becky’s kitchen in Nyack, NY is a beautiful example of how Ipanema Souto Terrazzo Cement Tiles can transform a space. Their mid-century inspired geometry, paired with a soothing mid-tone blue terrazzo finish, brings energy and personality to this kitchen backsplash.

In Sun City, Arizona, designer and realtor Megan Panetella drew inspiration from the iconic sidewalks of Rio de Janeiro to create two serene, neutral bathrooms that are anything but ordinary.

For one space, she chose Copacabana Silveira—a tile inspired by the wave-like promenade of Copacabana Beach. Rendered in warm gray and white terrazzo with genuine mother of pearl in the aggregate, it adds subtle shimmer and luxurious texture to the walk-in shower.

In this beautifully remodeled kitchen in Lake Las Vegas, Nevada, Sonora Sola Cement Tiles by Tesselle bring a touch of organic sophistication to the backsplash. The soft, sandy tone and circular pattern—originally inspired by desert flora—add both texture and warmth, perfectly complementing the clean lines of the cabinetry and stainless steel appliances.

Some installations just stay with you—and this one by Rolly Devore is a standout. In his backyard in Orange, California, Rolly created not one but two tiled planters, each wrapped in Tapa Green Cement Tiles by artist Shag (Josh Agle), available exclusively from Tesselle.
