If you’re anything like us, you’ve been continuously inspired by the timeless interiors created by Julia Marcum, the design mind behind the popular blog, Chris Loves Julia<\/a>. Ever since partnering with the husband-and-wife duo in 2012 on their very first kitchen<\/a> remodel, we’ve had the chance to work with them on a variety of projects, including their moody Modern Cottage primary bathroom<\/a> and a guest bath<\/a> showcasing marble from top to bottom in their new Modern Colonial home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This time, we’ve asked Julia to create four tile-focused mood boards, making it easier than ever to achieve her elevated traditional-meets-modern aesthetic in your own homes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n For this fantasy kitchen, I was very inspired by our current kitchen, but I wanted to give it more of a mid-century modern twist. \u2013 Julia<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n Julia’s choice of the Elisir Royal Fume Chevron<\/a> wood-look flooring offers a light and elegant base for the moody olive green paint and Petal Emerald Mosaic<\/a> to bring stunning drama to the space. “How cool would this mosaic tile be as a backsplash?” <\/strong>Julia wrote. “A backsplash is a statement-maker.”<\/strong> If you’re looking for more kitchen tile inspo, explore our 13 Beautiful Kitchen Backsplash Ideas<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is a very elevated take on a ‘coastal’-inspired bathroom. This is the perfect example of letting the tile set the tone and personality of the space and then making selections that support it. \u2013 Julia<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n “The tile that inspired it all!” <\/strong>Julia wrote about our Zara Blue<\/a>. <\/em>“As someone who loves designing with color, this blue tile would make such a statement.” <\/strong>We love a bold tile pattern, and Julia did not disappoint with her choice of this attention-grabbing floral tile. Coordinating it with the neutral Imperial Gris Subway<\/a> offers an effortless balance of visual interest and calming softness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Everything about this dressing room is feminine and delicate, starting with that jaw-dropping tile. \u2013 Julia<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n Julia’s dressing room pick, the Lafaenza Oro Crema<\/a>, offers the best of both worlds \u2013 the luxe appearance of natural stone along with the durability of porcelain. We adore the warm, soft accents and furniture pieces she paired with the tile to pull out its shading. “When I saw this tile, my heart stopped. I might have to sneak it into our bathroom\/closet remodel next year. It has the most feminine, pink undertones<\/strong>,” Julia wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This utilitarian space is earthy and neutral, but far from ordinary. The textured tile would make a mudroom feel historic and full of character. \u2013 Julia<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n Pulling from one of our favorite collections, Julia chose the brick-look Jerica Ceniza<\/a> for this charming, rustic mudroom. “Subway tile, but make it textured!” <\/strong>Julia wrote. “This almost looks like a herringbone brick, but it\u2019s porcelain. Would bring so much character to a mudroom.<\/strong>“<\/p>\n\n\n\nJulia’s Kitchen Mood Board<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
