Therefore, these accent tiles should only be used in dry, wall applications.
For use in a bathroom design, consider using them to as a bathroom mirror or medicine cabinet frame.
Simply install a frameless mirror, or recessed medicine cabinet on a clean, dry wall.
Next, use liners, 2 tiles and pencil moldings to create a decorative tile frame.
Finish off the edges of the frame by using a 1/2 x 8 pencil molding.
The result will have more movement and light catching effects.
Finish the design by using the liners as a frame around an area behind the cooktop.
Set the field tiles straight inside the frame, and cut the accent tiles in on the diagonal.
This will create a subtle effect with more movement than glass tile.
Mother of pearltiles are available in several colors, styles and patterns.
Use them as accents in any formal bathroom or kitchen design as a way to add color and decoration.
