Oxford Square Home, Los Angeles

This home in Los Angeles' Oxford Square neighborhood uses handcrafted ARTO tile in both the kitchen and the main bathroom. In the kitchen, Artillo 3x5 Diamond tiles in a blend of grays, cream and blush are set as a tumbling-block pattern that climbs the full wall behind the range and sink, framed by light wood cabinets and white counters. In the bathroom, glossy Oleson tiles in Aqua are stacked vertically across the vanity wall and through the walk-in shower. A band of deep Persian Blue wraps the lower shower wall and caps a built-in bench, giving the sea-green walls a strong base. Each glazed tile varies slightly in tone, so the walls have depth and movement.
