THE PLAYBOOK 

1. With the perfect combination of natural stone and brilliant metallic accents, Luxor Kona Gold Pattern has the uniqueness you’ll want for your next construction or remodeling project. Boasting an intricate geometric pattern with striking gold features, this stone tile is the perfect statement piece. Apply to kitchen backsplashes, bathroom walls or anywhere else refinement is appreciated.   

2. Create a timeless appeal with Calacatta Porcelain Tile from the Eden Collection. With a variety of shapes and sizes available, this marble-look porcelain tile features rich gold veins on top of a creamy white background. From small hexagons to large format tiles, this highly sought after wall and flooring material is great for kitchens, bathrooms and other areas where warmth is admired. Use its harmonious appearance to reflect your unique style by pairing it with honey wood-look cabinets, gold trivets and contrasting greenery.   

3. Nothing says desert vibes like Onyx Bamboo Quartzite countertops and slabs. Like much of the rock found in the desert, quartzite metamorphic rock originates from sandstone that transformed into an incredibly robust and long-lasting natural stone through high heat and pressurization. Heating causes the individual quartz pieces to recrystallize, resulting in a stunning and ornamental sparkling pattern. Given its durability and strength, it’s the perfect option for countertops, backsplashes and other similar surfaces.  

4. From an indoor kitchen backsplash to an outdoor fireplace surround, Arabescato Venato White Herringbone Tile offers a neutral and inviting feeling of comfort in any environment. This marble features a warm white background with various understated gray, copper and brown shades with a honed finish. These small 1” x 2” tiles are not only in a herringbone pattern, but they also feature a mesh backing for easy installation when incorporating them into differing spaces, big or small. Pair any one of the tiles from the Arabescato Venato White Marble Collection with a variety of brown, blonde and gold fixtures to fully achieve The Golden Hour trend.
