Whether in the kitchen or bathroom, tile mosaics give a room that extra “wow-factor,” showing that time, thought and effort was put into creating the room.

Tile has always been a popular material in areas that tend to be wet, like showers and bathrooms, but mosaic achieves an extra special look.

In bathrooms and kitchens alike, consider adding a tile backsplash to your current home, or even your new one. The simple renovation will allow you to get creative and tie new beautiful colors or emphasize existing ones if you so desire.

Current mosaic trends for kitchens include adding a little brightness. Try a brighter tile interspersed with other tones represented in your kitchen. Of course, a tile backsplash is a functional and fashionable feature to have in the kitchen, but try adding smaller tiles in artsy ways so they can complement the larger ones.

In terms of bathrooms, pebbles are very trendy at the moment. Pebbles can be incorporated into mosaics themselves, but they look even more luxurious and earthy as bathroom floors. Pebbles are truly a chic way to update the bathroom. For a dramatic look for the more modern bathroom, try adding sleek, dark black pebbles on the bathroom floor. For a spa-like look, blue, grey, tan and white assorted pebbles look relaxing-and almost nautically reminiscent of waves- on the walls or in a small mosaic framing the sink.

Their staff is full of creative ideas to help you get started on your remodel or new home project. Not to mention, they have a large selection of tiles, countertop materials and other complements to bathrooms and kitchens. For more information, visit Construction Resources online.

The bathroom is small enough that you can give it a substantial makeover without spending a fortune. Let’s chat for a bit about different parts of your bathroom.

Showers and Tubs

Your shower keeps you clean and looking your best, shouldn’t you return the favor? If your shower’s door is outdated or has a dented frame, or if you are using a shower curtain that somehow continues to attract mildew, consider updating with new shower doors or a sleek frameless glass enclosure. Atlanta Glass and Mirror can help you find the perfect solution for your specifications and price range. If you want to indulge in a luxury cast marble tub, Atlanta Marble Manufacturing can find you the perfect fit.

Hardware and Faucets

Chipped, corroded or offending colors of hardware are all relatively inexpensive changes to make to the bathroom, and is an easy project for the do-it-yourselfer. From towel bars to toothbrush holders, Atlanta Glass and Mirror provides an array of stylish and quality bath hardware. New faucets to match the hardware can be found at Atlanta Kitchen, who offers superior pieces in a myriad of finishes.

ECO by Consentino is available in 10 colors and two finishes. The non-porous material is not only beautiful, but high performance, as it resists staining, scratching and scorching. Homeowners or builders striving for LEED Certification can gain points by utilizing this material for countertops. The post-consumer or post-industrial materials dictate the colors. For example, Black Forest is composed of mainly recycled glass and quarried stone, while White Diamond is mostly recycled glass.

The IceStone line is another eco-friendly option, and versatile as well. The surface can be used for countertops, walls and floors alike. IceStone comes in 24 standard colors, but due to the ability to tint the background mix and select from different sizes and colors of glass, the palette is unbound. Combining the strength of granite and heat resistance of stone, the material is very durable. Also, due to the high recycled content, the material can be used for LEED points.

Keeping with the recycled glass theme, Construction Resources offer Vetrazzo glass surfaces. Made of 85 percent glass (all recycled). The colors continually evolve as difference sources of recycled glass are discovered. The surface is durable and easy to maintain on top of being heat and scratch resistant.

For more information on these eco-friendly options, visit the Construction Resources website, or stop by one of the three Atlanta-area showrooms.

The program, introduced under the watchful eye of Angelique Baez, our new director of design, is structured to be a one stop shop for builders and their clients. Instead of running all over Atlanta, builders can now bring their clients to one of Construction Resources three kitchen and bath showrooms (Decatur, Alpharetta or Lake Oconee) to select all of their options. Not sold yet? We also have the team in place to install all of your client’s choices, which in turn cuts your cost by not having to deal with subcontractors.

We also has several sister companies at your disposal including Atlanta Marble Mfg., Atlanta Kitchen, Inc., Atlanta Glass & Mirror, Inc. and Atlanta Garage Doors & Fireplaces, LLC. By offering a diverse selection, we allow our customers to simplify their ordering, scheduling and vendor process by dealing with just one salesperson and company rather than multiple salespersons and companies.

Corian is a great choice for commercial and residential uses, for its versatility, strength and durability and elegant, clean design.

Fort Benning, located south of Columbus, Ga., is a United States Army community, which supports more than 120,000 active-duty military, family members, reserve component soldiers, retirees, and civilian employees on a daily basis. It only makes sense that our army would choose a durable, high-quality material like Corian and a reliable, efficient fabricator and installer like Atlanta Kitchen – would you expect anything less?
