Tile Layout
Tyler knew the first thing people would see when they walked into the bathroom was the back shower wall, so she wanted to make it something fun and beautiful. Caren spent a long time looking for the right tile until finally walking into a showroom one day with Tyler and seeing the perfect one, a mirrored tile with wispy glass and metal in it. “There’s a lot of tile out there — it can get overwhelming,” Caren says. “And I like everything. If it’s good design, I like it. So it’s hard to rein me in a little bit. But then I saw that tile. It has very natural movement to it but it’s still shiny and fancy-looking. That’s why I liked it.” Caren and Tyler had originally talked about doing the entire back wall in the tile but Tyler persuaded her not to. “It would have been expensive,” she says. “Plus, more isn’t always better. Sometimes smaller amounts of something that’s beautiful is better.” “That’s where having a designer really helped me,” Caren says. “It was a good call on her part not to do the whole wall.”
