I was worried I'd only find mod geometrics in these ingenious tiles, but there site has tons of options. Lots of florals and more traditional designs that would totally work in my home!
There are! And they have loads of options for different tile shapes and finishes. So fun!
so what is the name of the site that has these???
I NEED these!
As an interior designer, I am always looking for new ideas, this one is great! Such a simple way to solve a design dilemma!
Seems like quick way to redecorate any tile in any room.
I don't care for the stickers. They are reminders of the 50's, you know, purple tubs and pea green toilets. Not a finish I would entertain.
Have to agree Carra………..like a flash back to the late 60's………..I remember the stickers we'd put on our cars…..lol
very cute. you could chop them up and use them in all kinds of configurations like a mosaic or wild design.
I thought they were beyond UGLY – too retro 60's – unless that is the theme you are going for, how about some country stuff and some tropical designs – I would totally use them in a different design.
absolutely use them.. they are a good coverup for some ridiculous patterns in bathrooms../
Use these tile decals and it will date your home….just like those decals/stencils of ivy and checkerboard patterns did to the tops of walls. No. I would not use them. No one likes them but the people who put them up. Better to just clean your grout and/or put in some in a complimentary color of grout.
Love Them!
Love them.
There is no reason to put up a dull tile. Who needs tatoos when there is such a wide variety of tile patterns. Ilove doing my own tile work.
I could use your help in my basement bath…
I don't like those personally. There are plenty of options for everyones taste.
You need tattoos when you cannot change the tile or the grout…and colored grout is lots of work and dates the tile more quickly. The tattoos peel off…that makes it something that you can easily update or take back to plain rather easily!
Sure…why limit options? This would be really good for those who rent and want to put their own stamp on generic spaces. There's lots of builder grade plainess out there so make it "yours" instead of boring cheaply! Good idea!
Sure, Could be interesting. Depends how noticable the edges are. I like the fact that it is easily removable. I assume that some people think it is permanent.
I have no tile. I just have white formica that continues up the back wall to the cabinets. I can not afford to put in new countertops and backsplash, so would it be appropriate to just run the stencils along the edge of the formica and cabinets, or would that be "tacky"?
i don't like it at all, if you try and sell the place, what would new buyers say? it would be a turn off .
I had these years ago. I had a vintage bungalow and the original white tile with a black accent strip was in perfect shape. These things were like decals, a black design on a clear vinyl film. But they just stuck by gravity, like those holiday window stickers. I placed them randomly and they lasted years. Only one got a curly edge from the water and I just trimmed it. I loved them. It looked like accent tiles. I think they were Rubbermaid. but not sure. When I sold the house I clearly explained it to the new owner. She said she liked them. This was in an often used tub and shower area.
I also have had these from years ago. Really pretty palm tree scenes. I used them on my tiles in the shower/tub area of my guest bath. They are so great because they can be changed if you feel like changing your decor w/o incurring expensive renovations. They don't look tacky there at all. My guests love them & want to purchase as well but I haven't been able to find them lately at all. The best part is that if you are selling your home they can be easily removed if the buyer doesn't like them.
I think they are horrible. As a Designer there are many other ways to update. Don't do the Tattoos.
You would have thought my vintage bath wonderful. An absolute. No argument necessary.
I don't care for these particular graphics but I love the concept. It turns static tile into something dynamic you can change on a whim or with the season.
Tom, obviously you aren't very flexible and don't like to think "outside" the box. These tatoos are a simple, easy way to change your look without being permanent!
Great idea…but the designs would have to be a lot more sophisticated….I'd love to have a SET of tatoos which would enable me to create a scene when applied together in one area, such as a picture of wine bottles and glasses in a frame. One can purchase these scenes already fired on new tiles but they are quite expensive, and work-intensive.
love it, love it, love it..need I say more. If you could design your own like car or motorcycle graphics it would make it alot of fun!
With all due respect, for me they are a bit boring.
Great idea. The sky is the limit for design ideas. I have a more traditional home and would love to see designs that would work with my decor.
This is old news already, saw these last year. I don't think that enough patterns are offered to make them worthwhile. Most patterns seem like 70's throwbacks to me.
What a bunch of closed minded snobs! I understand that this particular style might not be for you but if you actually inquired a little further you may actually enjoy a different design. Apparantly NATE BERKUS likes them…. http://www.thenateshow.com/videos/detail/1049
