The handcrafted allure of terra cotta zellige tiles makes them a perennial favorite of mine for backsplashes and walls. Zellige can be installed with pronounced grout lines for a bold look or fitted snugly without grout for a seamless appearance. I have specified the Glazed Earth 4 x 4 tile from Zia Tile for countless clients; with a unique color and texture, it’s a classic choice that I present in almost every project.

The Tumwater Sconce from Cedar & Moss is a favorite for vanity lighting, with its ribbed ceramic texture and the warm and dimmable light it casts. This sconce not only enhances the aesthetic of any space but also introduces a touch of artisanal charm to my designs. Currently, it stands out as one of my favorite lighting options, perfectly balancing style and practicality.

After testing hundreds of decorative hardware samples, I discovered Classic Brass products. Each piece is crafted from heavy, solid brass that ages beautifully, developing a perfect and even patina over time. Among their diverse profiles, the Après Knob stands out. Its classic design has proven to be a reliable and stylish choice in numerous projects.
