Kitchen Tiles that Look Good Enough to Eat
I really like this idea of selecting a good photo and turning it into a set of tiles for the kitchen or bath. It seems like a way to make a make a space really unique. The food designs at Digitile are particularly cool because they make the food larger than life, and give the image a kind of fantasy quality. You get to see the details of the fruit in a way you normally don’t notice. Like the face in the apple or the folds and waves in the red cabbage.
Of course, it looks like this choice can be expensive. Pacifica Tile Art will let you email a photo and they will print custom tiles. The designs at Digitale have color backgrounds. I think it would be hard to fill out a wall beyond the design with the correct color. I also wonder what happens if you really use the space and the grout gets stained in the process? I suppose you could seal or stain the grout to either keep out the dirt or apply an intentional grid to the image.
