As we countdown to 2019, we're looking back on the best of 2018. With so many inspiring residential installations to choose from, it was quite the challenge to pick just ten! The year's tile trends have been defined by bold blues and greens, geometric patterns, and a whole lot of beautiful design that we're so proud to be a part of. We're recapping some of our favorites here but for more, head to our Pinterest Board that has even more highlights from this past year.
