TREND: On the Edge

with FZK Franziska

We all have edges. In the world of tile, edges are trapped. or confined. With the advent of many new shapes, edges are being liberated and with what wonderful results. New patterns are made with the negative space beyond the tile: on floors, in backsplashes, anywhere you please. Come to Statements and we'll help you unleash your tile edges.

TREND: Space

with FZK Franziska

Space...void of color, pared down to the essence; surface textures that light plays across to give visual interest as technology becomes the catalyst for a sleeker way of life. These concepts are expressed today in quicksilver metallics, flowing white curves and sportswear that lets us move freely. Come into the future and view Statements' newest arrivals.

TREND: Industrial

with FZK Franziska

Industrial exposed pipes are the vogue in many Parisian interiors. Prefab industrial metal windows become the walls of showers or room partitions. Let's see all the plumbing in sinks and showers. And why not use metal piping as shelving units to reinforce the Look and plate them in hot gold finishes. We love this direction! Visit us at Statements and we'll explore the Industrial trends together.

TREND: Playing with Scale

with FZK Franziska

Super graphics playing across a wall expand our vision of the world. Stretching an image or using part of a much larger visual, adds drama to a small bath or enlarges a confined kitchen. A mural can inspire us to daydream of far away places or fond memories of our past. Using antique imagery can be fresh and modern by manipulating the scale. Bring your images to Statements and see how we can transform them into wall art for your project.

TREND: A Romance of Patterns

These vibrant pattern combinations remind us of Havana and the sun-filled beaches, music everywhere and the subtle beauty of decaying facades and ancient cars. Creating a lively mix of colors and patterns activates the senses, as the spicy aromas and cigar smoke of Cuba do. Let Statements add an invigorating mix to your new project.
