A herringbone pattern brings sophistication.
Fabric, tile, textiles and case goods are easy ways to incorporate a taste of men’s fashion into an interior. While usually done in traditionally masculine tones of brown, blue and black, herringbone feels fresh in more vibrant and feminine shades. To explore herringbone’s possibilities, consider these pieces.

Rosy Finch Matte Tile ($399)
Mixing a traditional masculine pattern with the femininity of pink makes this matte tile from Fireclay a masterclass in juxtaposition. Pigmented ceramic ink is hand-applied by silk screen to the back of glass sheets to give the tile its vibrant finish. Soft edges are created naturally during the cooling process, giving it a boost of delicate charm. It would look at home in a laundry room, bathroom or powder room, especially when incorporated with more muscular colors like navy or brown.

Elevated yet rustic, it can be used across a variety of interior design styles as a focal piece.
