A Sea-Washed Glow for Effortless Elegance
These tiles bathe your walls in a soulful wash of Agua Marina, like sunlight skimming across a calm tide. The hand-touched edges and reactive glaze create a richly layered patina that feels collected and bespoke. I love pairing them with warm brass fixtures and honed stone for tension and balance, or framing a niche to make the color sing. It’s an instant gesture of luxury—quiet, refined, and irresistibly inviting.
