Lately I have developed a minor obsession with glossy bathroom floors. More specifically; white hexagonal marble tiles paired with a good source of natural light (i.e. big windows). The result is a beautifully glistening floor, almost like fish scales. Here are some of my favourite pictures:

*

This gorgeous bathroom was featured in Architectural Digest. The tiles looks to be uniformly white with a gray spacer or grout.

*

This bathroom is designed by Lori Tippins, I remember reading somewhere that it is her own bathroom.  See how the daylight makes the floor glisten.

(Photo cred to Holly of Things that Inspire)

*

This is also a Lori Tippins design, and it proves that even a tiny window can give the shine effect.

*

This bathroom is designed by Catalano Inc and has a gray (or blue?) super glossy floor. The tiles looks to be square, not hexagonal, but gorgeous nonetheless. That’s not a modest sized window either.

*

This beauty is designed by Alicia Friedman. She used a larger hex pattern, and I think it looks absolutely gorgeous. What do you think?

*

Fun fact: After looking through these picture again it hit me what really attracted me to these bathrooms. It is the gorgeous contrast between the glossy tiles and the matte painted walls. Have I subconciously grown tired of tiled bathroom walls?

Lets take a tour!

*

Huge open plan solution with open entry, living room, dining room and kitchen. The fact that this whole level has the same color theme of light blue and a cold yellow (yellow with white).

*

The living room is decorated in yellow, green, cream and maroon.

*

This über long drawer unit doubles as shelf, storage and seating area. And look, a fireplace too!

*

Wow, fun choice of chairs, each in a different color to match the rest of the home.

*

I think the blue and yellow color theme works best of all in this kitchen.

*

Yellow floating shelves instead of kitchen cabinets. Looks fancy, but what about the dust job??

*

Cool triple lamps. And, check out that creative frying pan-storage!

*

Nice railing on that staircase. Very artistic.

*

This minimalistic bedroom has a great view. A mini fireplace and a mega plant!

*

Yellow and blue bathroom. Shiny tiles..
