14 Bathrooms Transformed by Glass Tiles
From mellow splashbacks to smouldering surfaces, see how glass tiles turn these bathrooms into inviting oases
“Age cannot wither her; nor custom stale her infinite variety.” The line about Cleopatra fits glass pretty well. Ageless, mesmeric in its beauty, it is hard to get bored of a beautiful glass installation. Glass as a tiling material has long been synonymous with stylish seamless surfaces and scintillating sparkle. On a bathroom wall, it can be tailored to display an infinite array of nuances. From the aquamarine waters of the Mediterranean to the shimmery starlit midnight sky, glass tiles can transform an unmarked wall into a picture of soulful serenity. See the ways glass can bewitch, in this catalogue of elegant bathrooms.
