Modwalls Press: Dwell Magazine – Bath & Spa Special Issue

“Our first ever Bath & Spa special issue is filled with the latest in bathroom design, from outdoor showers to luxurious personal saunas. Dwell’s editors bring the latest and hottest products for any lavatory and any budget.” -Dwell Magazine

“Capturing San Diego’s beachy, laid-back vibe with just a handful of sun-shining-on-the-Pacific tile colors was Public Architecture and Planning‘s real trick in this charming bathroom.  By relying on a multihued array of small tiles, Public’s principal James Brown credits his clients, Kim and Torrey Lee, with selecting a ‘seamless palette that brought the color and feel of the ocean’ into the home.” 

“The clients requested an open shower with a large tub.  But they asked to be surprised with the design of the entire house.  I hope they jumped!” -Architect James Brown

Inspired by…Poppy~!

The Lush color formerly known as Quince is now……….POPPY!!!

“Oh good! Yes, Poppy is a much better name. Much more fun & it just sounds more ORANGE!”

[...said a wonderful customer just a few minutes ago!  Hence, this explanation of the name change...]

“Orange is the happiest of colors”  - Frank Sinatra

Color names are a funny thing; it can make or break a persons opinion of said color or product.  If you have ever studied color theory, you know what I’m talking about, and our products are no exception.  This is why we decided to re-name our color Quince to the fun-loving new Poppy color.

“The color orange creates a lot of controversy; it evokes strong emotion and is a color that people seem to either love or hate. Color experts agree that orange radiates warmth and energy.” – The Examiner

More Fun Facts About The Color ORANGE:

  • Physically, the color orange stimulates activity, appetite and our ability to socialize.
  • Orange is a color that really stands out, even at a distance, and invites attention.
  • In the practice of Feng Shui, colors hold great significance, and orange represents fire.
  • Orange helps us focus our powers of concentration, and it’s also the color that’s credited with assisting us in organizing our thoughts and our things.
  • During the Elizabethan Era in English history, only nobility were allowed to wear orange clothing.
  • An orange vehicle says you are fun loving and trendy.

What do you think of our the color orange?  And our new Poppy name?  We would love to hear your feedback! :)

modwalls® Lush® Weave Patterns, “Ready for my close-up!!!!!”

(**Okay, so we cannot exactly interview our lastest and greatest Lush® patterns per se, but if we did, they would be more than thrilled to be in the center of the spotlight**)

Modwalls WEAVE patterns were created by modwalls one and only in-house Interior Designer, Katelyn Bowman.  When developing this simple, but intriguing pattern for modwalls, Katelyn wanted to create a fresh twist on a tried and true version of an herringbone and chevron pattern using our modern 8mm thick Lush® 1×4 glass tile in our top selling Cloud, Vapor, and Fog Bank colors.

“Geometric patterns are an ever-constant design element – past and present – and there’s beauty in the repetition.  I think this new pattern I designed for modwalls will be a seemless addition to an already fantastic line of products.  Although the pattern is relatively simple, you can install this in many different ways which I’m sure will please many different design aesthetics.” :)

Installing your backsplash tile in this pattern would typically be more labor-intensive and therefore more expensive since your installer would have placed each tile individually (not fun!).

Modwalls addresses this issue by sheeting the pattern in a way that makes installation MUCH easier.  The pattern is pre-set and mesh-mounted with 1/16″ grout joints with interlocking sides.  This tile is ideal for any wall applications including kitchen backsplash tile, bathroom tile, fireplace tile and pool tile. The tile is sold in sheets that measure 0.93 square feet each (just less than one square foot) for $19.95. It can be laid either vertically, horizontally, 45 degree angle, etc.

Here are some more eye-catching images of the Lush® 1×4 Weave!  Enjoy!!!

Need Some Eichler Inspiration?

Eichler Homes are distinctively known for their amazing Mid-Century modern style (which is probably why we and so many others still love them so much)!!!

Little Eichler history (per Wikipedia):  Between 1950 and 1974, Joseph Eichler’s company, Eichler Homes, built over 11,000 homes in nine communities in Northern and Southern California. They all came to be known as Eichlers or an Eichler.  During this period, Eichler became one of the nation’s most influential builders of modern homes. The largest contiguous Eichler Homes development is ‘The Highlands’ in San Mateo, built between 1956 and 1964.    Basically, Eichler defined what “California Modern” really is or what it’s perceived to be.  Read more Eichler history here.

On a recent browsing sesh on Pinterest, we found a link to a great site featuring our Brio tile in one of our customers’ gorgeous Eichler residence.  All photos are courtesy of Hunter Lewis Wimmer of redneckmodern.com.  We hope you are inspired as much as we are by this stunning post-mod home!

This is what the homeowner Mary-Peyton said:

“We spent HOURS on the custom mix configurator (Modwalls Tile Blender). The floors in the  kitchen are black and in the dining area they are grey. There is a ton of wood in the house so we wanted to include all those colors to tie it together. Throw in some mid-century orange, turquoise and apple green and we were good to go. I wish we had more wall space to show off the tile!”

Because we love this Brio blend so much, we wanted to share Mary’s perfect custom blend recipe:
