Hand-Painted Floral Tiles on the Wall: Moving Floor Patterns to the Wall Skirt

A wall in a bathroom or kitchen. Handmade cement patterned tiles are applied from the floor up to waist height, featuring a geometric lotus pattern in black and white or dark green and off-white, finished at the top with a row of plain trim tiles. Above the waist height is a warm white plastered wall. The countertop is a white marble slab with a brass faucet. The patterned tiles here serve as a wainscot, not flooring. Avoid: tiling the entire wall up to the ceiling with patterned tiles, using glossy printed ceramic tiles, having more than two sets of patterns and colors, laying the same patterned tiles on the floor.

一面浴室或廚房的牆。從地面到腰部貼著手工水泥花磚,圖案是黑白或墨綠與米白的幾何蓮花,上緣以一排素色的收邊磚結束;腰部以上是暖白的抹灰牆。檯面是一塊白色大理石配黃銅龍頭。花磚在這裡是牆裙,不是地板。避免:把花磚貼滿整面牆到天花、使用亮面的印刷磁磚、圖案與顏色超過兩套、讓地板也鋪上同一款花磚。
