Bathroom Subway Tile

Would removing plastic bathroom tile from the twenties ruin the historical appeal of my apartment?

This tile is an ugly light green color. My landlord agreed to remove it and install white subway tile with gray grout and his interior designer agreed. Now, all of the sudden he says he does not want to do it because he is afraid what is behind the tiles and he needs to retain as much historical appeal as possible and leave as much in this apartment that was orginal. I think that he is just trying to be cheap! Come on... plastic green tile would be more appealing then white subway tile. And -- this place is not ona historical registry not is the landlord working toward that.

Yes, cheap

Bathroom Trends - Create a Spa-Like Setting

Some current trends would be the use of marble, glass tile, and use of multiple plumbing accessories within the bathroom. It is not unusual to find all three of these trends within today's high end Bath remodel.

Described below are some examples of how each of these products is being utilized in today's bathroom remodels:

Marble: The classic look of marble is back!! The timeless look of marble has proven that it is here to stay. Marble is being used in the bathroom from the vanity, onto the wall, down to the floor. Subway tile in the form of marble is a great look and the demand continues to grow more and more. Showers are being lined with this type of tile which adds a distinctive look. Each piece of marble is unique in its own way, with no two pieces of marble being exactly the same. Marble adds a sleek, clean, yet traditional look to your bathroom.

Glass Tiles: Glass tiles are a great way to add your own style to the bathroom. A simple glass tile border can add a lot of personality to your shower stall or floor. Combining small glass tile throughout your floor can add a custom look to any bathroom. From recycled to iridescent, glass tiles have entered the market place at a rapid rate and have become a current trend.

Various Plumbing add-ons: What's a high end bathroom without multiple body sprayers? Body sprayers propel water at any given direction to massage your body. It is not uncommon to see more and more plumbing fixtures within the bathroom nowadays. Steam jets are also a great accessory to add when you do your remodel. A steam jet will fill your glass shower enclosure with steam creating your own steam rm. Lastly, the rain shower head. These shower heads come in various sizes and simulate a gentle rain which is very revitalizing. Once you experience these additions, you will be saying to yourself, "How did I live without this?" The luxuries of these plumbing accessories are priceless to some.

With the addition of these current trends you will be well on your way to creating a spa like setting which will become your own private oasis. Light some candles and enjoy!

Availability: Usually ships in 24 hours See Reviews For This Product Description From subtly shimmering white subway-style walls to dramatic colorful mosaics, tile is one of the most seductive ways to enhance the beauty of a space. Long prized for its durability, tile has become more of an object of aesthetic desire than ever before. Your heart may be set upon using it, but with thousands of imaginative options available, you may not know where to begin. Now, The Art of Tile beautifully illustrates what to use, how to use it, and where to use it. First, design writer and tile enthusiast Jen Renzi walks you through the basics of using the medium: selecting the best materials for certain spaces; installation and maintenance considerations; and aesthetic aspects, such as using tile as an accent or pairing tiles with different patterns in the same area. She then helps you answer the big-picture questions: Do I want eco-friendly bamboo tile in the bathroom? Gorgeous gold-leaf Italian glass tile on my backsplash? Or just a neutral-colored tile with a raised texture? Along the way, you’ll see dozens of installations to spark your imagination, including all of the latest advances and never-before-seen options, such as luxurious leather tile floors that coddle the feet, surprisingly realistic imitation-wood tiles made from porcelain, and an explosion of roses in a red-and-white dining room mosaic.If you’d rather page through thousands of options to make your choice based simply on what strikes your eye, the catalog section of this book is the ultimate resource: more than 1,500 tile options organized in groupings such as: * Color (typical color families, as well as pastels, vivids, and pure white)* Pattern (damasks, dots, loops, herringbone)* Motif (such as nautical themes, animals, food, or flowers)* Texture (from subtle to dimensional)* Shape (beyond squares, circles, and rectangles to hexagons, diamonds, and ovals)* Material (including ceramic, cement, stone, and shell)* Mosaic (from interlacing vines to abstract geometrics)With inspiring photographs of tile installations from Montauk to Morocco, an extensive resource guide, and expert advice from architects, designers, homeowners, and tile manufacturers, The Art of Tile is as much a feast for the eyes as it is an indispensable and comprehensive resource.
