handcrafted appeal of these beauties adds texture, charm, and architectural interest to spaces. Whether they are used in a kitchen backsplash, flooring, or bathrooms, these tiles add a touch of glamour to any space. A GLIMPSE OF THE PAST Architectural elements like arches are making a nostalgic comeback, infusing spaces with Old-World charm and sophistication. Arches historically have been a strong architectural element. In addition to giving rooms Old-World charm, they frame important spaces in a home. If you’re looking for a way to add architectural interest and elegance, then arches are the way to go. They are adaptable to all sorts of design aesthetics, including classic, contemporary, and minimalist.

Gone are the days of flat paints and single-colored flat walls. If you’re looking for a way to hide wall imperfections, textured walls are a great way to handle that. Textured walls can divert attention from any irregularities, bumps, or blemishes that one would see on a flat wall surface and create a more elevated and polished look.
