What kind of tile is Blue Shimmer Arabesque Tile?

We stock Blue Shimmer Arabesque Tile as glass in a arabesque shape. It reads blue. Bianco Arabesque Tile and Greecian White Arabesque Tile sit in the same style family if you want to compare. Glass throws light back into the room, which is most of why it ends up behind a range in a north-facing kitchen.

What to put next to it

Built from the color we measured off Blue Shimmer Arabesque Tile itself, not from its name.

Read off its own swatch, Blue Shimmer Arabesque Tile measures #495A69: mid, cool. We match that to Charcoal and build the pairings from there. It reads as a neutral, so it will sit behind whatever else you choose instead of competing with it.

Hardware

Warm Brass / Satin Gold — gold jewelry on gray flannel. Against this surface it is a step lighter, which lifts the surface without washing it out classic
Copper — Copper pulls against charcoal like embers in ash, and every fingerprint just speeds the living patina you were going to want anyway.. Against this surface it is a step lighter, which lifts the surface without washing it out current
Matte Black (Metal) — tonal, hardware disappears into the mass. Against this surface it is a step darker — enough separation to read as two materials solid

Countertop

White Veined (Marble-Look) — inverted tuxedo — dark base, light top. Against this surface it is much lighter, so the cabinets carry the room and this recedes classic

Island

Natural / White Oak — dark perimeter with a wood island keeps it livable. Against this surface it is a step lighter, which lifts the surface without washing it out current

Cabinets

Warm White / Ivory — A charcoal island anchored by warm white perimeter is the combination clients stop questioning after year five — it simply never dates because it never trended.. Against this surface it is much lighter, so the cabinets carry the room and this recedes classic
