See how tile-edging trim adds graphic style to these 5 bathrooms and kitchens
1. Industrial Bath With Graphic Punches
In this industrial-inspired bathroom, designer Michelle Schmauder played off other black elements in the room by capping the backsplash with a matte black edge trim. The visual weight of the mirror frames is about the same as that of the trim, she told Houzz. This creates a nice balance throughout the room, as the same strips also appear in the shower.
The geometric floor tile is framed with black tile edging, making it stand out even more.
2. Organic Zen Minimalist Bathroom
In this Zen minimalist bathroom, interior designer Lauren Levant also used matte black tile edging. In a stall full of large-format tile, it adds a subtle yet impactful detail that reinforces the shower’s symmetry and ties into the other black elements in the room.
3. Bold and Colorful Tropical Bathroom
Interior designer Stéphanie Fortierspecified white strips to cap off the backsplash in this happy and bright tropical bathroom. “This gives it a seamless look. Be careful to specify white when you want it, because most contractors will automatically use stainless steel,” the designer told Houzz.
She also chose white strips to give the tile shower surround a nice clean, protected edge.
4. Glittering Shower Stall
In this contemporary and glamorous shower stall by The Hills Group, the shine from the brushed-stainless steel tile edging adds some bling to the edges of the bench and generous niches.
5. French-Bistro-Inspired Kitchen
As a kitchen and bath designer, Alison Griffin is very familiar with edge-protection profiles and what they can do for a design. In this French-bistro-inspired kitchen, she capped the outer corners of the tile wall with stainless steel trim to add an industrial touch. You can see it on the windowsill’s vertical edge.
