I’m not sure if you saw my Instagram Stories recently where I was pretty much falling over myself to share a recent discovery in Elle Decor. I know not everyone watches the little short videos I do on Instagram and so I just really wanted to share them here on my blog as well. Hand-on-heart, these may be the most beautiful tiles I have ever seen in my life. I realise that’s a hell of a statement to make but genuinely, I’m utterly in awe of them.
Now you know I love gold and you know I love marble and when the two come together in such a symphony of deliciousness, it’s hard for me NOT to get over-excited. Also, I just wanted to say upfront that this post is in no way sponsored at all. I was just desperate to share!! Ha!
What you are looking at is the beautiful designs ofΒ MosaΓ―que Surface, a company based out of Montreal, Canada who use waterjet techniques to create those intricate inlays you see. They have a few different collections that caught my eye.
The Atelier Collection
Now, I’m a little obsessed with the combination of white, gold and black. I think the contrasts are stunning and it’s a formula I’ve used in many of my own rooms so these particular tiles from The Atelier CollectionΒ are right up my street. This particular collection wasΒ created in collaboration withΒ blazysgΓ©rard for MosaΓ―que Surface and is the brainchild of designers Alexandre Blazys and Benoit GΓ©rard.
The collection pays tribute to several world-renowned fashion houses, with subtle touches of architectural inspiration within each design. “At once formal and playful, the fashion-centric Atelier Collection delivers a selection of timeless patterns fused with the designersβ signature touch. The collectionβs daring and elegance bring a striking aspect of the avant-garde to the traditional art of mosaics.”
The Dominion Collection
The Dominion Collection was inspired by traditional English landmarks from Windsor Castle to Kensington Palace and “is a tribute to the legacy of the countryside and honours the transcendent beauty of the age-old castles that accentuate it.”
Each pattern comes in multiple colourways, creating stunning patterns from subtle neutrals to high-impact designs, showcasing “the nobility of natural stone paired with gold glass and infusingΒ classic materials with avant-garde style.”
OdyssΓ©e
Now, this my friends, is my favourite collection and I struggled to choose just a few to share as they so beautifully bridge the gap between contemporary and traditional designs. Inspired by the grandeur and romance of Parisian landmarks, the collection features classical patterns with copper and brass inlays. The entire collection is customisable, allowing you to choose fromΒ MosaΓ―que Surface’s extensive collection of stones, marbles, glass and metals to create whatever your heart desires.
The tiles are priced from Β£350 per square metre but with such a high-impact design, I doubt you’d need much to give any room an exquisite touch. I have already told Wayne that we simply MUST have these in our next home – although I would struggle to decide which pattern I love best as they are all so incredibly beautiful. Happily, they are available in the UK via Paris CeramicsΒ and Ann Sacks in Chelsea Harbour as well as distributors throughout Canada and the US.
Have you ever seen such beautiful tiles? Which is your favourite?Β
Makes me proud to be Canadian ! They are absolutely stunning
Haha! I don’t blame you Jacquie! Your brethren have done you proud! ;) x
The pink one from the Paris collection! It would be so sweet in a bathroom, but just a hint at that price. Love these!
It is unbelievably pretty, isn’t it? Spectacular in a bathroom, I agree! xx
Absolutely stunning hun. Poor Wayne. Hope his tiling is as good as all of his other diy skills LOL. X
Hahaha! He’s actually not a bad tiler thank goodness ;) xx
Wow!!!!!
Gorgeous! Pink, brass and white <3 Definitely the most beautiful tiles ever!
Aren’t they just so so pretty?! I’m so in love! xxx
These are literally the best tiles ever. I think you need to redo your bathroom in these asap!
Hahaha! I wish! Perhaps in the next house though! Eeek! xx
They are truly breathtaking. I feel like I’d need to live somewhere a whole lot grander to use them. The attention to detail is amazing. So beautiful.
I know exactly what you mean! The detail is just stunning, though, isn’t it! xxx
They’re stunning and so very you! I like them all.
Aren’t they just! I feel like someone went inside my brain and created the perfect tile just for me – hahaha! xxx
Oh wow, these are gorgeous! I’m always hesitant with distinct or busy patterns – as much as they make an instant impact, there is also always a chance of me growing tired of them so I tend to go for something that I know I will enjoy looking at for a long time. In this case my winner is the petal shaped design from the OddisΓ©e collection. I’d use it in a bathroom, combined with smooth concrete and black. Hmm…I might have to redo my bathroom…
I know what you mean as I have the attention span of a fruit fly myself but I think these designs borrow so much from the classics that they have a bit of longevity to them! (or perhaps that’s just me justifying it in my head – haha!) Oooh yes with concrete and black would be sensational! Swoon! xxx
Hahaha! Oh, don’t get me wrong – if I had 7 wet rooms or just a really big mansion, I’d design a wing around every single one of their tiles. Oops, I think I’ve just gone from a modest loo remodel to opening a hotel. Thanks for the inspo :) xxx
LOL!! When you open your hotel, I’m staying there!! xxx
Absolutely stunning, Looks fabulous and these are gorgeous.
Wowzers! Definitely the most beautiful tiles I’ve ever seen too! In my fantasy world, I’d have each of these designs in different rooms!
They all beautiful, I think it would be hard to pick one. Having said that they pack one hell of a punch, and have brilliant wow factor xxx
When I saw these on your Instagram feed I gasped. They are so so beautiful and unique
these are amazing. i’m scurrying off for a little look and see if I can sell a kidney to get some :)
The bradd and marble is making my heart race – love love love it!
