Hexagonal Marble Tiles
Lately I have developed a minor obsession with glossy bathroom floors. More specifically; white hexagonal marble tiles paired with a good source of natural light (i.e. big windows). The result is a beautifully glistening floor, almost like fish scales. Here are some of my favorite pictures:

This gorgeous bathroom was featured in Architectural Digest. The tiles looks to be uniformly white with a gray spacer or grout.

This bathroom is designed by Lori Tippins, I remember reading somewhere that it is her own bathroom. See how the daylight makes the floor glisten.

This is also a Lori Tippins design, and it proves that even a tiny window can give the shine effect.

This bathroom is designed by Catalano Inc and has a gray (or blue?) super glossy floor. The tiles looks to be square, not hexagonal, but gorgeous nonetheless. That’s not a modest sized window either.
*
This beauty is designed by Alicia Friedman. She used a larger hex pattern, and I think it looks absolutely gorgeous. What do you think?

Fun fact: After looking through these picture again it hit me what really attracted me to these bathrooms. It is the gorgeous contrast between the glossy tiles and the matte painted walls. Have I subconciously grown tired of tiled bathroom walls?

I really like the green bathroom, it’s nice with bathrooms without tiles it’s make the impression very clean.

The minute I read the title for this post, I thought about Lori Tippins’ bathroom! I took these pictures when she gave me a tour of her home, and they were just about the most beautiful bathrooms I had ever seen. People commented on my post that the floors must be slippery, but Lori said that they are not.
Normally I am not a huge fan of gray and white marble tiles in the bathroom, but I love Lori’s bathroom because she warmed it up with the wall color, which is farrow and ball (a blue shade, but definitely looks blue-green with Lori’s light). She used the same shade of paint in both bathrooms.

That second image, in awe of the floor. It really does look like fish scales. All so sparkly!! I wish I could retile my floors to look like that. Something magical about that sparkling tile.
