Meet Rae

Rae Rockwell has a passion for crafting spaces that redefine the boundaries of traditional interior design. Whether crafting bespoke designs for boutique hotels and restaurants, breathing new life into short-term rentals through complete renovations, or transforming residential kitchens and baths, Rae brings a distinctive design style that stems from her diverse experiences as a collector, entrepreneur, and world traveler.

The Looking Glass Milky Way & Rosemary Bathroom

Ready to do a double-take? This one-of-a-kind bathroom by Rae Rockwell has it both ways–traditional and eclectic–thanks to a dual-patterned shower featuring our 4x4 Ceramic Tile in Rosemary and Milky Way. 2x2 Sheeted Tile in Eucalyptus rounds out the space, providing beauty across the backsplash and traction underfoot in the shower pan.

The Looking Glass Block Shop Kitchen Backsplash

Rae Rockwell takes us through the looking glass with her latest project, a stunning modern organic kitchen featuring Block Shop x Fireclay Handpainted Tile. Pattern play is on full display across the backsplash and matching arched niche thanks to Rae’s use of Dot Dash 6 and 8 in grey-green Plein Aire Motif.

Cantara Mojave Brick Primary Bathroom

This bathroom looks on the pink side of life. With Glazed Thin Brick in soft pink Mojave cladding the shower surround and petite backsplash, 2x2 Sheeted Tile in Milky Way in the shower pan, and a cheerful terrazzo floor, this modern space designed by Rae Rockwell is a sunny spot to start or end your day in style.

The Looking Glass Essentials Bathroom

Green and white set a soothing tone in this modern bathroom by Rae Rockwell. An orderly stacked pattern of 3x9 Ceramic Tile in Manzanita Gloss adorns the backsplash and shower surround, complemented by 3x3 Sheeted Tile in Pearl Gloss on the tub (both available in our budget-friendly Essentials Collection).

Rae's Block Shop x Fireclay Handpainted Hearth

Step into the exquisite Jellystone Lodge, a cozy modern retreat in California's High Desert courtesy of designer Rae Rockwell. A hearth of Handpainted Dot Dash Tile from the Block Shop x Fireclay Tile Handpainted Collection rarifies this retro fireplace with a bold Bauhaus look that's truly one-of-a-kind.

Sky Harbor Modern Green Glass Bathroom

Elegant evergreen sets the tone in this handsome primary bathroom. Rae Rockwell sprinkled a mosaic of 2x2 Glass Tile in Starling Matte across the backsplash, shower wall, niche, and bench met by a checkered accent wall of 4x4 Starling Matte and Gloss as 4x4 Ceramic Tile in Milky Way grounds the space in ethereal beauty.

Cantara Lavender Guest Bathroom

A hint of purple does the trick in this modern bathroom. Designer Rae Rockwell used a combination of Glazed Thin Brick in Sedona in the shower and 6” Hexagon Tile in Evening Glow across the floor to subtly infuse this space with the allure of a desert sunset.

The Looking Glass Desert Flagstone Pool

Nestled amidst the rugged beauty of the desert, this serene oasis pool by Rae Rockwell features our 3x6 Ceramic Tile in blue-green Flagstone around the waterline and integrated spa. The tranquil shade of the tile reflects the hues of the evening sky, creating a mirror between the man-made and the natural.

The Studebaker Theater Bar

The bar at Chicago’s historic Studebaker exudes sophistication in Hunter Green. Designer Rae Rockwell used a combination of 4” Hexagon and 2x8 Ceramic Tile in this opulent matte glaze across the bar front and arched alcove to nod to the theater’s 19th-century roots while bringing it firmly into the modern age.

Rae Rockwell: The Looking Glass Tiled Bench

Meet a design feature you’ll definitely want to check out. Designer Rae Rockwell created this darling nook bench with an eye-catching checkered pattern of 4x4 Ceramic Tile in Milky Way and Rosemary checkered with 2x2 in Eucalyptus.

Rae Rockwell: The Looking Glass Handpainted Fireplace

Soothing tones surround the fire in Rae Rockwell’s Joshua Tree home. The designer adorned the sides of the fireplace with a playful pattern of Handpainted Dot Dash 6 & 8 Tile in Plein Aire Motif complemented by 3x9 in soft green Manzanita Gloss across the hearth.

Rae Rockwell: Sky Harbor Harvest & Wave Sunroom

Golden shades reign in this sunroom by Rae Rockwell. Warmth and charm radiate from the floor of Handpainted Harvest Tile in a custom motif of Mustard Seed, Mesa, and Ivory as a backsplash of vertically installed Wave Ceramic Tile in Mustard Seed adds a touch of sun-kissed sophistication to the space.
