Colorful Tiles: Small Size, Large Area

A wall of colorful tiles. The tiles are ten-centimeter squares or rectangular glazed tiles, in saturated solid colors; they are laid in a regular pattern across an entire wall or a section of a countertop, sometimes alternating two colors to form a checkerboard or stripes. The glaze has slight manual unevenness and variations in luster. The grout is white or the same color as the tiles. Avoid: using patterned tiles with printed designs, using more than two colors of tiles, using large format slabs, laying tiles in complex mosaic patterns.

一面彩色磁磚的牆。磚是十公分見方或長條形的釉面磚,顏色是飽和的單色;它們以規則的方式鋪滿一整面牆或一段檯面,有時兩色交替形成棋盤或條紋。釉面有輕微的手工不勻與光澤變化。勾縫是白色或與磚同色的。避免:使用有印刷圖案的花磚、讓磚的顏色超過兩種、使用大尺寸的板材、把磚鋪成複雜的拼花圖案。
