The Story
This Manhattan Beach master suite carries ARTO's handcrafted Artillo Arabesque tile in Hacienda with a Limestone finish from the bath to the balcony. In the bathroom, Arabesque Pattern 12 covers the wall behind a double vanity, set off by oval mirrors, iron sconces and dark bronze faucets. Behind the freestanding tub, the same pattern rises in a tall, arched panel edged with matching trim. In the bedroom, Arabesque 12 frames the fireplace below a rustic wood mantel and iron screen. Outside, a balcony with views over tile rooftops is paved in Arabesque Pattern 13. The soft blush and sand tones of the concrete, with their light, chalky surface, give the suite a warm Spanish feel, and every piece shows the gentle variation of handmade tile.
