Minimalism
The concept of minimalism isn’t new to us but it has been a mainstay in the decor world because homeowners and decorators love to keep it light, bright, and clean. Minimalism is directly related to color. A softer more neutral palette in beige or gray is what this trend is all about. It usually incorporates one accent wall or other accessories to add some pop of colour.

Picket Tiles

They can be installed in three distinct patterns adding versatility to your design. These styles include; straight horizontal, straight vertical, and diagonal picket tiles.
A great option to make your room look taller is to install picket tiles vertically as they guide the eye up and down. Selecting a lighter colour with light grout can also help smaller rooms look larger.
