Design Inspiration Blog — Cement Tile

Doug’s remodeled mid-century modern kitchen in Finleyville, Pennsylvania proves that great design honors the past while confidently embracing the present.  The star of the kitchen is the Tesselle Ipanema Costa Terrazzo Tile backsplash. The pattern brings rhythm, movement, and playful character to the space, creating a visual focal point that feels joyful and authentic to mid-century design.

Sana'a Cafe has become one of California’s most thoughtful and inspiring coffee destinations, blending rich cultural tradition with a modern design approach. With seven locations open and six more on the way, the brand continues to grow while honoring its origins and its mission to create warm, welcoming spaces.

A sunlit Southern California storefront becomes a standout moment of eye catching design thanks to Andalusia Night Cement Tiles by Tesselle. The repeating star motif creates a rhythmic surface that feels both historic and fresh, offering pattern, texture, and visual movement the moment you approach the entry. Paired with black trim, warm sunlight, and bright seasonal flowers, this installation shows how a strong tile design can completely transform a façade.

At Tesselle, we share your passion for preserving architectural history while bringing it beautifully into the present. Whether you are recreating a traditional space using our Cement Tiles or updating a mid-century gem with a wall of Breeze Blocks, our team is here to help.

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.
