Tile murals are a wonderful way to add color and unique beauty to any room in your home.  Let your imagination be your guide and perhaps you'll get an inspiration from our Trends post on "Playing with Scale". Tile murals can be photorealistic or atmospheric, exact copies of photographs and paintings or any high resolution digital image you admire.  Once you have a location and an image, we at Statements can help you determine the correct material and size for your custom mural.

Inspiration for an image can come from anywhere, in this case an inlayed wood motif.  The delicate tracery of the inlay is better understood when it is enlarged for the mural.  The image benefits from the rustic quality of the stone, enhancing the ancient origins of the design.

Because the mural is produced using a high quality digital imagining process, colors in the original can be adjusted to suit the decor of the room.  The inks are also waterproof, allowing us to use murals in wet locations.

How it works

Once you've selected your image and have an idea of the size of the location for the mural, we look at the scale of the design in relationship to its surroundings.  Images can be enlarged or reduced to fit the location.  The murals are printed on a variety of stone that ranges from honed marble to tumbled travertine. Each of the stone options imparts a different look to the mural and are available in a wide range of sizes.

The Ancient Craft of Cement Tiles

Originating in the Iberian Peninsula more than ten centuries ago and becoming fashionable in the 19th Century, cement tiles have graced the floors of grand villas and hotels across the globe.

Cement tile making is a craft that has been passed on from generation to generation.  The techniques of today are the same used by the ancient artisans of the Iberian and Yucatan Peninsulas.  Subtle variations in the pigments and the rate at which each tile batch dries, affects the colors enhancing the hand made characteristics.  Cement tiles are considered a "Green" product, since they are never fired, only pressed and air dried.

Made from cement, sand, marble dust and mineral pigments, these tiles are defined by the brilliant colors, amazing patterns andsignature matte surface that they are sought-after for, today.  Because each cement tile is made by hand, the possibilities to customize them is endless.  Come visit us at Statements to experience the ancient world of cement tiles.

Enjoy the patterns and colors of cement tiles below, many from our portfolio.

Sisters of the Sun and Moon Mural

Bringing to life landscape architect W. Gary Smith's wonderful mural design, Statements supplied the tile for this lovely mosaic entitled "Sisters of the Sun and Moon."  Working with local tile artist, Alessandra Haines to produce the dancing Beans, colorful Corn Cobs and striated Corn Leaves, this project was a joy.  The grand opening party, at the Ojos y Maños exhibit in the Santa Fe Botanical Garden, will run from 11:30 AM to 6 PM on October 22nd. 

Here's a preview of the design:

I looked forward to my site visits to see the daily progress.  What an amazing addition to the Santa Fe Botanical Gardens spaces:  an amphitheater and metal canopy will be the location for many wonderful events to come.  And the mural is at the heart of it all.

And, revealing the finished product: 

Join us at the Grand Opening on October 22, all day!
