Design Inspiration Blog — Cement Tile

At the outdoor BBQ area of Allaso Olivine in Albuquerque, Sunray Jade Hexagonal Cement Tile delivers a confident design statement. Installed across the face of the grill island, the tile introduces a rich jade tone and crisp radial pattern that responds beautifully to New Mexico’s bright sunlight.

A kitchen should be functional, beautiful, and unmistakably personal. Annie’s modern kitchen makeover in Reno, Nevada brings all three together with a bold backsplash using Ipanema Terrazzo Cement Tiles from Tesselle.

This luxury bathroom belongs to Annie, who lives in Reno, Nevada, and features Capri Tiles by Trina Turk, designed exclusively for Tesselle. Inspired by ocean waves, the flowing pattern wraps the face of the bathtub in layered greens that feel rhythmic and alive, bringing movement and color into the space.

This mudroom, designed by customer Andrea, is just beautiful. She chose Lyssa Alsace, one of the classic patterns in the Tesselle collection, and used it to transform an everyday space into something joyful and welcoming.

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.
